Till January I have all the time for myself and my family. So today I was listening to a recording made in 1993 of the Sinfonie Nr. 7 (Originalfassung) by Anton Bruckner, Günter Wand conducting the Berliner Philharmoniker. This recording is the best I ever heard of any symphonic recordings, performance wise as well as recording technique wise. The performance is not better then the recording of Günter Wand conducting the NDR-Sinfonieorchester as recorded in 1980, but the balance, room and reverberation on the Berlin Philharmoniker recording is superior to the NDR recording.
But what I want to communicaty is the strange experience I made. Right at the beginning, starting with the Allegro moderato, I said to myself, this strings sound nearly 100% the same as the VSL strings, similar color, same brightness etc... I was shocked. Trying since several week to incorporate the VSL strings into my arrangements with frustrating results, and now this, my personal, quasi reference compact disk for recording symphonic music sounds nearly equal to the VSL strings.
Mama mia, I still don't know what to say, but I already went to the storage room to pick up an old Lexicon machine and dialing some nice reverb, what a relieve. Isn't that something?
