Could also be a problem of 'literary German' versus real German, I understand that an increasingly small and ageing population of academics insist on writing in a style of German which is incomprehensible to most German speakers, even well-educated ones. And presumably this translator thinks she needs to create an equivalent English!
Frequently I come across absurdities in CD liner notes, back in the 1980s I bought a cassette of Bruckner's First Symphony where the note writer opined that the slow movement was a "conflict between nature and God" [sic].
What I want in accompanying notes is a blow-by-blow account of the music, especially for C20 music, so I can follow it on first listening and get an idea of the structure of the work.

I'vejust been listening to some concertos for recorder, flute and oboe by the early C18 English composer Robert Woodcock. They are delightful. There is some controversy as to whether they weren't written by Jean Baptiste Loeillet instead, but whoever wrote them they are delightful.
But, the usual story, you can buy umpteen recordings of Vivaldi concertos, but there is no complete recording of the set of 12 concertos, just eight of nine of them scattered over almost as many disks.
Just posting here in the hope someone can tell me I'm wrong and there is a complete recording.
