Producers and Engineers provide NativeDSD listeners insights on their recording process and give notes on the production, see the recording setup and find direct links to the music discussed.
It is a real pleasure to be in the Spotlight and being able to introduce some of our albums here at Nativedsd. I’m a fervent admirer of the recording philosophy of using as less microphones as possible, choosing the best possible acoustics and spending the needed time with the best possible equipment until getting the […]
After Antonio Lysy won Yarlung’s first GRAMMY® Award for Music from Argentina and Te Amo, Argentina (both available on NativeDSD) we have looked forward to collaborating again, especially to include a Swiss recording of the Kodaly Duo with Antonio’s father the eminent Argentine violinist Alberto Lysy. Kudos and thanks to Claude Cellier at Merging Technologies, our executive producer who made […]
Following the Friday March 2nd release of Sestetto Stradivari: Brahms Sextets, NativeDSD publishes the personal notes from producer Igor Fiorini and first violinist David Romano. Recording these works by Brahms was a work in some ways unique and also the beginning of a new search. Brahms is poetry, distance, it is a painting that has to […]
Gonzalo Noqué – producer/engineer at Eudora Records – introduces the gorgeous new DSD 256 Stereo & Multichannel Album with guitarist Ricardo Gallén. When we came up with the crazy idea of starting a classical music label (Eudora Records) we were extremely lucky to start with such an outstanding artist as Ricardo Gallén. His album of […]
It is not easy to outperform yourself, when you have already released two highly successful albums and an EP (“LP”, “II”, “EP” https://magneticfidelity.nativedsd.com/ and https://fwrlrecords.nativedsd.com/), especially when you are busy touring the world, like Naxatras. …normally done with multitrack recording, but we preferred the old-fashioned approach, The old-fashioned approach Their third full length album, titled […]
With a lot of excitement the NativeDSD Team releases this new homegrown DSD 256 & Multichannel album: The Contemporary Fortepiano. It features Rembrandt Frerichs on the Fortepiano and Harmonium with a personal style that is driven by content rather than virtuosity. His music invariably carries an artistic message, which is informed by his world travels. This gives […]
Taking a large musical work such as an opera, and arranging it into a piece of chamber music, can be quite a daunting task, as you may imagine. But it had been done before, especially in the late 19th century. Taking Sergei Prokofiev’s masterpiece, The Fiery Angel, and recomposing – no, re-imagining – it into […]
Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and to those of us who operate on the Gregorian calendar, Happy upcoming New Year! Today’s new release from Yarlung Records called ‘Nostos’ is not exclusively Christmas music , but it is a sacred program of acapella choral music from the Western tradition. My friend Robert Istad conducts the Cal State Fullerton […]
“Every recording situation has it’s own special challenges. In the case of the Paul Berner Band performing the music of the fabfour from Liverpool, the challenge was to accept reed player Michael Moore’s request of being placed not in front of but “in the band” right next to bassist Paul Berner. Before the musicians arrived […]
Normally when recording a live concert, I record the ”dress rehearsal” as well in order to have repair material just in case parts of the actual concert does not go as planned. However due to a technical failure, which I only managed to solve 10 minutes(!) before the start of the concert, this was no […]
TRPTK Sessions is a new initiative from TRPTK. Every month one artist gets invited to the recording studio to perform a triptych of three pieces. A triptych is a set of three associated artistic, literary, or musical works intended to be appreciated together. After recording, all remains unedited, unpolished, in its pure and raw form, […]
From the middle Ages to Baroque to Classical Romantic, Western music has changed the look of musical instruments as well as musical technique. In the early days, the music played in the church and the court became popular to public and as a result, instruments have been changed to sound bigger and farther. It is […]
