Recording Dates: 14-18 September 2010
Recorded by: Northstar Recording Service
Notes:
This High Definition Surround Recording was Produced, Engineered and Edited by Bert van der Wolf of NortStar Recording Services, using the "High Quality Musical Surround Mastering" Principle.
The basis of this principle is an optimal realistic and holographic, 3 dimensional representation of the musical instruments, voices and recording venue, according to traditional concert practice.
For most historic music this means a frontal representation of the musical performance, nevertheless such that width and depth of the ensemble amd acoustic characteristics of the hall do resemblance "real life" as much as possible.
Some compositions in history, and many contemporary works do specifically ask for placement of musical instruments and voices all over the 360 degrees sound scape however, and in such cases this is also recorded as realistic as possible within the possibilities of the 5.1 Surround Sound standard.
This all requires a very innovative use of all 6 loudspeakers and the use of fully equal and full frequency range loudspeakers for all 5 discrete channels, and a complementary sub-woofer for the ultra low frequencies under 40Hz, is highly recommended to optimally benefit from the sound quality of this recording.
This recording was produced with the use of Sonodore microphones, Avalon Acoustic monitoring, Siltech Mono-Crystal cabling and dCS Converters.
