Hi Edward. Yes! It was my wife who signed for it. We share a post office zip code with another small town (Riverton).
I have listened to the tape three times this evening and all I can say is: OH MY! After the first listen, I thought I should stand up and brush the bow rosin from my clothes. The soundstage is so three dimensional, I feel as though I can get up and walk around each of the musicians. Bravo!! A stunning achievement! Kudos to you and your entire team at UltraAnalogue. I will be purchasing more of your offerings to be sure, and will look forward to new releases.
I am on the Board of Directors of a local symphony (Symphony in C, Rossen Milanov, Music Director), and we have a recording session this weekend to record a violin concerto by Moravec for the Naxos label. We are going to record it in our performance space (650 seat theatre with very good acoustics). However, this Rossini tape will be the standard by which I compare Naxos’ ability to capture the sound of a live orchestra in real space.
Kindest regards,
Joe
