I listened to only a part of the track--just enough to find out that I didn't like it. So I wasn't aware of the issue. Being the hayseed hick that I am, I don't like the singing--it sounds too much like (and maybe it is considered) opera. Just give me some nice soft instrumental classical music and I'm happy.

No, it wasn't the BBC's Shostakovich track with the sound quality problem, it was the Alexander Street "Classical Music Library Free Download of the Week" - Symphony No.4 by Gustav Mahler.
(As it happens, the piece with the audio problem, the fourth movement, is the only movement of the symphony with voice, so depending on your personal taste....)
