Digital Audio reviewed Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue" on the Philips
label (411 123-2) giving it a perfect score on performance and sound
quality, adding "run, don't walk...".  I agree with the performance
rating, but would not go farther than classifying the sound quality as
"good".

I also own many of the other CDs they review that fall under a similar
category.

They tend to dole out 10+10 ratings too freely (especially with
respect to sound quality) which I feel should be reserved for those
extra-special performances/recordings, so I now take them less
seriously.
