In Reply to: i think there is some confusion here ... posted by Christine Tham on February 14, 2005 at 11:49:46:
...but I'm not confused about what I'm talking about. I don't think so, anyway :-)Measurements of the full symphony say:
- at pianissimo, approx 60db
- at fortissimo, approx 90db
- at fortississimo, nearly 100dbThe recording never gets all of it - about 30db dynamic range best case, IME.
