Technical / Listening Notes
Chamber music is meant to be performed and enjoyed in a relatively small room, as opposed to an expansive concert hall. Therefore the perspective of this recording is close…as though the artists are creating music in your listening room.
The musical instruments used in this recording are of superb quality, complementing the talents of the artists, and enhancing the color and expressiveness of the literature. The piano is a 9 foot Hamberg Steinway model D concert grand, selected for its almost magical harmonic warmth and evenness of tone. The violin is a Guarnerius, buit in Cremona, Italy in 1719. The Guarnerius sings with speed, focus, and sweetness.
A spaced pair of Schoeps microphones, driving a vacuum tube line-level amplifier, are used to capture a naturally open, and dynamically accurate sonic presentation.
The sonic image of the violin should originate just to the right of the inside edge of the left speaker. The overall tonal balance of this recording reflects the recording site (Mills College Concert Hall), the instruments and the recording approach, being slightly warm and never stringent.
This is the star on HP List, R2D4, the top chamber music recording on any list...
---------------Please read: Shipping notes-----------
Once payment is confirmed, your item will be packaged and shipped within 1 business day. Shipping to outside Australia is per eBay calculation as it varies by country. eBay shipping options are either via registered post (sign on delivery) OR with delivery tracking (recommended option).
Shipping receipt will be provided. If you are buying more than 1 of my listings, please do not pay until you get an combined invoice from me with the right shipping cost (will be lower than eBay calculated ones)
International trackable shipping is expensive from Australia as it is treated as a parcel. The postage quoted by eBay is for parcel post wth tracking (around $34, varies by country). Unfortunately I had been, but can no longer absorb this cost. If you find the shipping cost unacceptable (out of my control), you may cancel your order.
Shipment to Australia domestic is free (min $14.35 worth)
In any case, I guarantee postage cannot be more than actuals or eBay calculations, which is the lower. You will be refunded the difference if you had paid more. Postage is very complex on eBay. Thanks for reading, it's best you have all the information.
