    Good album, as the title says. The winds are definitely at the top of their game in this recording, as were the brass. Actually, everyone was. The slow movements of each symphony were masterfully done, and I believe them to be the highpoints of the album. The loss of one star in the rating is actually for many reasons, though they are all small enough to only account of part of that star. The trumpets were a bit loud throughout the recording, and they didn't sound brassy enough. The ending chords in the first and final movements of the Eighth symphony sounded much like masses of noise instead of the majestic major chords they were intended to be, and the cello section added an unnecessary sustained "D" on both. A decent amount of incorrect entrances prevailed throughout the recording, which resulted in that recognizable noise you get when strings aren't playing together (they usually were). I still reccommend this recording. Buy it off iTunes instead of the BSO's website; if I'm correct, you save $8.00 for the same album.
