2-reel Ultra-Master Tape Edition!

Duplication AAA from the analog master

Numbered limited edition

On the The Absolute Sound list of must-hear audiophile recordings

AudioNautes proudly offers this 2-reel tape version of the classic analogue recording from 1980, lovingly produced, engineered and edited by Robert von Bahr using a Revox A77 and two — presumably spaced — simple Sennheiser MKH105 omni condenser mikes (vintage early '60's design); it amply shows the merits of a simple signal path, combined with minimal intervention and post-processing.

The recording immediately astonishes with its fluid, natural and utterly truthful sound, And the acoustic of the Chapel of the Imperial College, Madrid is just beautiful. The music, all 80 minutes of it, features variations on three archetypal Spanish themes (La Spagna, a Spagnoletta and Pavane), as interpreted by different composers such as Praetorius, Farnaby, Negri, Josquin Desprez, Ortiz and others. Aided by impeccable playing and 'realisation' of the basic themes, the end result is lively, fun and eclectic.

At AudioNautes, each copy is transferred in real time, using studio-level reel-to-reel tape recorders on freshly-made RTM audioptape. Production of audiotapes is a time-consuming process so each album is released in limited batches. Fabio Camorani of AudioNautesis a true man of passion and dedication to analog sound recordings!
