This was a live public concert, held at St Martins in The Field, London. Play this binaural CD through headphones, and you will feel like you are actually at the concert where the Locrian Ensemble gave a fantastic performance of Mozart's wonderful music. As with Chasing The Dragon's other binaural releases, this CD also sounds great when played through loudspeakers.

Mozart By Candlelight Binaural CD

Rimma Sushanskaya conducts The Locrian Ensemble of London with Fiona Kelly on flute and Jean Kelly on harp.

St Martin In The Fields, because of its wonderful acoustics, has become an iconic concert hall and recording venue. It's amazing to think that Mozart himself played in the church in the 1760s. If he was alive today I hope that he would enjoy our binaural recording.

This version of the Mozart performance by The Locrian Ensemble was recorded with a Neumann Binaural Head. Best experienced with headphones!

Features:
- Audiophile Demonstration Album
- Binaural album
- Mastered at Air Studios in London
- Produced/Engineered by Mike Valentine

"For many of our albums, I have been using 3 microphones used in a “Decca Tree” array to capture the main stereo image. Recently, I have been experimenting with a Neumann Binaural Head. Although normal stereo sounds great on headphones, I have found that when using the head, the effect can become almost three dimensional. I have therefore decided to create a series of albums for headphone listeners. This is our second release and I hope that you will be transported to St. Martins in the Fields in London, enjoying the fun of Mozart by Candlelight."
- Mike Valentine, Chasing The Dragon

 Inside Track: Recording On Location

"Apart from getting the performance right, the main challenge when making live recordings is to capture and reproduce all the ambience of the environment without letting it detract from the performance. Failing to do this would result in something that might just as well have been done in a studio. Capturing this along with the instruments requires not only considerable skill but also the best in audiophile equipment for the recording chain – including microphones, cables, amplifiers, power supplies, and the recorder itself. This combination of skill and quality equipment should result in a listening experience that's much closer to a live performance and can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home."

 

 

This binaural album was recorded with specialist equipment to give you the feeling of really being there in the space with the musicians. This binaural album is incredibly accurate and is intended to be enjoyed on headphones, however, it still sounds fantastic when played back on loudspeakers.
