[William Sommerwerck]

I listened on my computer speakers, Monsoon 2000 planars.

Both recordings have a too-prominent clarinet, though the wet version is
better-balanced. The wet version is more pleasing; the dry sounds a if it
were recorded in a room with inappropriate or even unsympathetic acoustics.

I hear nothing Korngoldy about it, but it does have an appealing
early-20th-century "potted palm" quality. I assume that was waht you were
aiming for.
