Vivaldi’s best known work, The Four Seasons is given new life in this Audiophile Direct to Disc recording from Chasing the Dragon. In order to make this D2D recording, the Interpreti Veneziani Chamber Orchestra performs each album side live in the studio, recorded via state of the art, all-tube valve microphones, fed to a Neve Desk, and then via a pure analogue path directly to the Neumann VMS80 lathe. This Direct to Disc performance is a pure analog delight! The brilliantly captured session was carefully engineered, and mixed live, no overdubs! During the performance, the Neumann VMS 80 Cutting head engages the master lacquer (“stamper” used for pressing LPs) and is not stopped until the entire side is complete! The results are amazing! A more accurate recording, a greater immediacy and interaction among the players, less background noise through the elimination of master tapes, overdubs, etc. by directly cutting the recording to vinyl. A dynamic album that needs to be heard! “The playing is extremely vigorous in places, which adds to the dynamics and drama, and credit should be given to the nine musicians in Interpreti Veneziani and the many period instruments they play…It’s the combination of the original sound, coupled with the shortness and purity of the signal chain, which make this such an astonishing record …a lot more robust that most I’ve heard.” -Hi-Fi+ Magazine “Producer Mike Valentine used all-tube microphones, and the sound is as you might expect… String tones were rich and fully expressed, yet the somewhat distantly placed harpsichord had appropriate transient zip and definition.” – Michael Fremer, Stereophile Magazine “In creating this direct cut album, we had to overcome many challenges. Because the album had to be recorded ‘live’ I had to first find a piece of music which would the perfect length. Obviously, I found the answer in Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Next came the musicians and I was so lucky to have the opportunity of bringing over from Venice, the leading Venetian chamber orchestra, Interpreti Veneziani. Finally, I had to find a recording studio which not only had a superb space, it also had to have an engineer versed in the black art of cutting live vinyl. Well, have we succeeded? Please judge for yourself, for I hope you have as much fun in listening as we had in cutting this disc!” – Mike Valentine, producer/engineer “…I did like the overall vigor and drive, not to mention the really strong, powerful attacks on tutti chords (“Winter” is quite sensational).” – Paul Seydor, The Absolute Sound, 4.5/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics. “…the playing is spirited and unrestrained and the recording superbly transparent and three-dimensional… For this kind of small, nine person ensemble, I think producer Mike Valentine’s, “minimalist with some spotlight mike enhancement” approach works really well…if harmonic structure is King and transparency Queen, then this recording rules.” – analogplanet, Music 10/11, Sound 10/11 Features: • 180g Vinyl • Directly cut to vinyl • Pressed at Record Industry • Gefell/AKG/Flea Valve Microphones, AIR Custom Neve Recording Desk, Neumann VMS 80 Cutting Lathe • Gatefold jacket • Import Musicians: Interpreti Veneziani Chamber Orchestra Giacobbe Stevanato, violin Nicola Granillo, violin Sebastiano Maria Vianello, violin Pietro Talamini, violin Anania Maritan, violin Sonia Amadio, viola Davide Amadio, cello Angelo Liziero, double bass Paolo Cognolato, harpsichord Artist Interpreti Veneziani Genre Classical Label Chasing The Dragon Buying Options 180g 1LP 45rpm Format 180g , 1LP , 45rpm Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Side 1 Spring 1.
