RARE & FINE! –
Factory Sealed
One of the finest disc sets ever produced, "The Art Of Fuguing" is a dynamic recording experiment from the historic Town Hall series of recordings, which are quite rare and incredible sounding, I promise you.
Two editions were produced, one capturing the acoustic and players with multiple microphones in use; the other simply using one stereo mic.
Point in all this, was to compare the two different mic presentations to see which delivered the most natural sense of what really happened in the hall, with such a wonderful orchestration by Malloch of Bach's THE ART OF THE FUGUE.
This is the multiple-mic version, which some audiophiles argued presents more detail and greater clarity and presence.
Do note, as you play this version, to turn up the volume until the "view" is as real in size in your listening room as you can imagine and would expect. Use only your ears in this. Do NOT, please, turn up the volume to the point where the potentiometer usually is. This will cheat it, collapse it, hide its musical glories.
Make no mistake, I promise you an extraordinary listening experience. In fact, one of the best I have ever heard, for natural balance and "being right there."
This extremely rare and historic set comes to you, factory sealed.
