I have several of their most recent performances on RBCD and must say that overall I find them a bit dissappointing, both in sonics (too thin) and in performance (lacking emotion and technical coherence). While I do not think the Lindsays are quite as bad as some of the Fanfare pundits, I have never really warmed up to them. Would the Praga Beethoven SACD set be a big step up?
