OK--- now I've had a chance to listen to the whole thing, and I have to
admit it has a certain charm. Most of what I thought was a harsh sound in
his voice was due to a little excess input gain in my system. Once I reset
that, things sounded much better. Classical? Whatever is the definition of
that? Certainly the Vienna Symphony seems to consider the Radetzky March in
that category--at least once a year!
