This
is the premiere of Roger Waters classical opera "Ca Ira"
(There Is Hope), Roger does not sing or play any instruments,
but he does conduct the Overture. The quality of this recording
is very nice, the only drawback is that the vocals of some
of the singers tends to be a little distant most of the time,
however all the instruments are crystal clear.
With the aid of Adobe Audition I have been able to use Dynamics
Processing to boost the distant vocals considerably, so that
instead of sounding at the end of large hall, the sound is
much closer. The end result is a much more listenable show.
