Some Music from My Past - For Christmas

[stoo23]

It's funny how things can happen in life at times,... after a discussion recently recalling what is detailed here with a good friend that helped, on the day, I decided to try and look for this .... and unbelievably, I not only found it posted on Youtube but also managed to find and purchase a later CD of what was initially only released as a Cassette would you believe.

So, with Christmas coming up, I thought some of you may like and/or appreciate this recording, made by myself and a couple of professional Audio engineer colleagues of mine way back in 1988.

It was Recorded 'Live' in 2 x sessions on the same day, at a lovely old Live drama recording space (previously used by our ABC and others) at Pilgrim House here in Sydney.



We recorded it in MS or Mid-Side Stereo using 2 x AKG C414 microphones onto an early Sony Digital recorder.
Utilizing M-S allowed the depth and width to be adjusted during mastering and whilst it does sound quite nice, I guess I was expecting slightly more than what was achieved, the resulting product being perhaps 'Cautious' 

Anyway, these people were and are very capable and excellent singers and actually have quite a catalogue of product, now,.. our recording was their first   

You can listen here on Youtube: Christmas with the Elizabethan Singers and if you like it you can download the tracks from the CD from my Dropbox here:
