Directly Cut to Vinyl

In creating this album, state of the art valve microphones were fed to a Neve deskand then via a pure analogue path directly to the Neumann VMS80 lathe.

In creating this direct cut album, we had to overcome many challenges. Because the albumhad to be recorded "as live' I had to first find a piece of music which would be the perfectlength. Obviously,I found the answer in Vivaldis Four Seasons. Next came the musiciansand I was so lucky to have the opportunity of bringing over from Venice, the leading Venetianchamber orchestra, Interpreti Veneziani. Finally, I had to find a recording studio which notonly had a superb sounding space, it also had to have an engineer versed in the black art ofcutting live vinyl. Well, have we succeeded? Please judge for yourself, for I hope you havecas much fun in listening as we had in cutting this disc!
