Picked up Goldsmith.

GREAT STUFF! << please forgive allcaps.

Now I understand why some (Jonathan ? and others) were saying the LSO sounded bored on the Telarc discs.

This Goldsmith thing is a perfect example of what happens when good music is performed by a good orchestra (winkwinknotlikePraguewink) and well recorded. No matter what Silva did during the remastering process to improve the sound, it could not sound this good if Mike Ross-Trevor's original recording was poor. Praised be Mike Ross and Gareth Williams.

The Philharmonia does a lot better here than elsewhere (ie. the screwed up Rimsky-Korsakov recordings for ASV).
