1 hr confidence: 
peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1the full-bodied sound of the orchestra Explanation: To me, the description is reminiscent of a combination of ingredients, like in a cooking recipe, where one ingredient does not overwhelm the other with it's flavor. "Geschmack" also can refer to food, so maybe this would be a good solution. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2008-11-03 22:18:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Since the author is strongly alluding to food , how about "The hearty sound of the orchestra"? |
