Performed at concerts throughout the year, the pieces were recorded live and released on this acclaimed audiophile album in April 2016. World-renowned percussionist Colin Currie joins the orchestra on Norman’s \u003ci\u003eSwitch\u003c\/i\u003e.\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eConductor Thierry Fischer says \u003cem\u003e\"Control (Five Landscapes for Orchestra) is a sequence of five episodes describing, in some way, an element of Utah’s natural environment, as well as the ways in which humans interact with it. The first part (Landform) begins with a texture of strings, interrupted by forceful chords. A solo oboe works slowly on top of this process and is itself interrupted by a progression of aggressive chords that slowly ascend, presented at two different (but close enough to rub against one another) speeds. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese ascending forms become more seismically unstable, and a trio of pitched percussion (xylophone, marimba, and vibraphone) creates a more mathematical grid; here, as in many other places in Control, I tried to reference, however obliquely, the music of Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992), whose visionary work Des Canyons aux Étoiles (1972) deals with Utah’s landscape and the spiritual possibilities found therein. The section ends as it began, but somehow changed, observed by the pitched percussion, and subtly transformed.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\nThe Soundmirror production team tells us \"\u003cem\u003eListening to the Utah Symphony Orchestra play in Maurice Abravanel Hall and based on our experience of making orchestral surround recordings in a number of different venues, we chose 5 DPA 4006 microphones as our main microphone array. Supplementing those with “spot mics” to clarify the detail of the orchestration, we worked toward realizing above goals. \u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eExtensive listening sessions with Maestro Fischer and orchestra musicians were crucial in refining the final balance. This recording was made, and post produced in 64fs DSD on a Pyramix workstation from Merging Technologies to give you, the listener, the highest sound quality possible.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\nThree YouTube videos of the three compositions:\r\n\"Switch\": \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oc83K8HEJiA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ewatch video\u003c\/a\u003e\r\n\"Control\": \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-90XXyzewWc%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ewatch video\u003c\/a\u003e\r\n\"Eos\": \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xWjIwDqp9Xg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ewatch video\u003c\/a\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eUtah Symphony Orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eColin Currie, Percussion\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eThierry Fischer, Conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-90XXyzewWc","brand":"Reference Recordings","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739054027076,"sku":"FR719SACD-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739054059844,"sku":"FR719SACD-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739054092612,"sku":"FR719SACD-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739054125380,"sku":"FR719SACD-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739054158148,"sku":"FR719SACD-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739054190916,"sku":"FR719SACD-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739054223684,"sku":"FR719SACD-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739054256452,"sku":"FR719SACD-18","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739054289220,"sku":"FR719SACD-19","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739054321988,"sku":"FR719SACD-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739054354756,"sku":"FR719SACD-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739054387524,"sku":"FR719SACD-23","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308875751748,"sku":"FR719SACD-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57335897063748,"sku":"FR719SACDS1417","price":31.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57335897096516,"sku":"FR719SACDS1517","price":34.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57335897129284,"sku":"FR719SACDS1617","price":38.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57335897162052,"sku":"FR719SACDS69","price":30.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57335897194820,"sku":"FR719SACDS710","price":29.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/FR719SACD-1.jpg?v=1790478106","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/fr719sacd-dawn-to-dust","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
