I've experienced CDs like this. It's sloppy post production, somewhere along the line a discrepancy creeps in, and stays there. Check out the 1951 Bayreuth Festival Meistersinger under Karajan on EMI. Tuba players who've internalized the famous excerpt from the Act I Prelude won't need a Korg tuner to know that this recording, through two remasterings, places the piece in the totally implausable key of C# Major.
