Testimonial of renowned recording engineer Michael Thompson on the recording of Sietse-Jan & Yun-Yang playing Beethoven & Rachmaninov Sonatas

The Overall Sound:
The sound is very smooth and warm but with just the right amount of attack and definition. The low to mid range frequencies have an amazing amount of power and subtlety.

The Recording Process:
The microphone placing is well chosen allowing a beautiful spread and depth of sound and the ideal acoustic can be heard. The monitoring equipment used must be of a high standard to have produced such a well balanced recording.

The Result:
The recording is of such a high quality and well produced that after a few minutes one just forgets it is a recording and listens to the great music making; simply the best recording of this type of music I have heard.
