It's interesting how different also a classical piece can be mixed. It's always a pleasure to work with good material and the execution on this is very good. My take on this was to get the Piano right (spot v.s. centre pair) and also to get the right balance between the centre mics and the out-riggers for the orchestra. Using mor of the spot mics makes for a more impressive sound, but to my ears it losses some of the great warmth of the recording, especially the piano. To some degree a matter of preference I guess. I also like what "Dangerous" did too. Not using much of the spot mics means that the balance between the piano and the orchestra is more determined by how the piano and the orchestra is positioned relative to the mics.
