Who's Gordon Bennett? And my ears are wide open. It doesn't have to sound like it was recorded in a concert hall, but listening to a score that sounds like it was performed by only a handful of players when it was probably much larger is not utilizing the orchestra wisely. The music that was composed was just fine, though. I'm a fan of the composer.
