Listening to their recordings actually made me start trying to use A-B omnis a lot more, even in situations like jazz/improvised music where the tendency is to multi-track. Does anyone know more about the mics that they use?


Just wanted to bump this old thread, I recently discovered MA recordings and have been blown away by the quality of the sound and performances on that label! Everything sounds so natural and real, and you really get the feeling of being at the performance. There was no compression, artificial reverb or anything else on the Richard Meyrick CDs I mastered. I did not edit the John Lenehan and Thurston Clarinet Quartet CDs - I know they were pure 2-microphone recordings, but I did not edit and master them. The Nocturnes and Chelsea Festival CDs were a stereo pair of MKH 20s.Īll the Richard Meyrick CDs were unadulterated - no messing, just the recording edited. The solo piano works on the first 5 Richard Meyrick CDs are a stereo pair of Neumann KM 183-D digital mics. The first 5 listed are all mine, as well as the Chopin Nocturnes and the Chelsea Festival CD (though I did not record the orchestral work on the first CD). I have also done several recordings for Richard Meyrick (middle photo shows the set-up for 2-5, Neumann mics. The above two recorded with a single MS pair of MKH 30/40 John Lenehan - Satie - pair of MKH 20, Steinway Grand, solo piano, Sony PCM-F1 (recorded in the 1990's, but still one of my favourite recordings).

I will use them as reference, or better.to know what it is the standard. Where i can listen a perfection in ratio direct sound/reverberation and perfect stereo image. In the catalogue of chesky, telarc, delos and so on. Please only mention classical and jazz, NOT pop, rock or something else. I know there was a thread about, but in detail i m searching some cd as reference for PURE stereo recording, with only two mics WITHOUT spots. Wonderful performances make it a joy to listen to, as well. : Holst: Suite No.1 & 2/Handel: Music for the Royal Fireworks/Bach: Fantasia in G: Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel, Gustav Holst, Frederick Fennell, Cleveland Symphonic Winds: MusicĪnd a link to the (used) LP: Telarc - Fennell Lp 1978 - Holst Suites For Sale | AudiogoN The bass drum provided a fundamental at 32Hz, and is startlingly reproduced. with one of the most complete write-ups I've ever seen. Truly a wonderful LP (I don't have the CD version). No limiting, filtering, compression, equalization or low frequency crossover at either acquisition or mastering. Three transformerless Schoeps SKM-52U omnis in Severance Hall (if you can score a copy of the audiophile LP, there are nice, big pictures, as well as being perhaps the best sounding piece of vinyl I know of) through a Studer 169 console to "the Soundstream Digital Recorder", then, after the edit, output directly to a Neumann half-speed cutting system. If you can expand your horizon to three mics, look for the CD version of the TelArc Digital release of Frederick Fennell/The Cleveland Symphonic Winds release of Holst, Handel and Bach.
