John Atkinson's track-by-track written evaluation in the July 2003 issue of his new <A HREF="https://secure.stereophile.com/stereophile/recordings.shtml"><I>Editor's Choice: Sampler & Test CD</I></A> (Stereophile STPH016-2) drew me like a magnet. Here was a reviewer-editor putting into words his musical perceptions, gathered while he served as the engineer for the various recordings sampled on this compilation.
