Got a call on Saturday morning from Prof. Justus Franz(the top conductor in Germany, and a brilliant pianist as well)having no idea why he called me(and thinking it was maybe for a singing gig for wife or myself) I was both overjoyed and frightened that he wanted me to record hisPhilharmonie Der Nationen's debut of Bruckner's Symphony No.6Mr. Franz normally works with My friend Jakob Handel(who just got nominated for a Grammy last year and is a brilliant classical recording engineer), but Jakob is in Beijing recording the Beijing Symphony Orchestra. Some time ago Jakob mentioned my name to Herr Franz as someone to contact in his absence, because he thought I did good work. So...here are some pics from the concert. This is huge for me, as many of the major studios are begging to work with Prof. Franz, and his reputation is legendary. I am preparing to start my own location acoustic/classical firm in NC, and need all of the good experience I can get. Hope yall enjoy the pics.
SETUP::: Main Array was Jecklin Disc with DPA 4006 omnis. flanking orchestra left and right I had gefell MK250s. behind the Jecklin setup I had a Blumlein Array*AKG 426B* to sort of tie things together in post..the hall has a 4 second reverb decay so I had to get fairly close to avoid being washed out!
.
OSS was my main array..DPA 4006. This Disc in the photo is one of the original models released in the 80s. Scored it on ebay. the foam was rotting so my wife covered it in felt for me. Love that gal!
