Our project led the string sextet of the KARAJAN ACADEMY of the Berliner Philharmoniker to Vienna to create a unique recording. In doing so, we captured every nuance and dynamic of Pjotr Tchaikovsky’s world-famous composition ‘Souvenir de Florence’ and immortalized it onto a mastercut record.
For the ensemble, this was a special experience with new circumstances. On one hand, they felt the particular closeness to the invited guests, and on the other hand, they experienced the acoustics of the space, which differed significantly from that of a concert hall. Typically, performances by the KARAJAN ACADEMY take place on the stage of a concert hall and remain there exclusively for the moment, without subsequently being available as unprocessed live recordings. However, the string sextet departed from its usual path for us. The result is a half-hour live recording with a personal touch that will last forever. Every breath in the music, every stroke of the bow is included, and that is very personal.
During the Listening Session, the six string players listened to their own performance via a Burmester set-up. An extraordinary experience for the musicians, who were confronted for the first time as listeners with their own performance via a high-quality audio system and immersed themselves in all facets of their true sound.
The first violin describes it in her own words: “PURE SOUND was a very personal experience for me.”
