The peculiarity of this recording lies in the instrument: an original Fortepiano by Johann Schantz c. 1796.
Also, the recording technique by Eng. Andrea Ricci (Spirit Turin, leader in headphones) deserve some notes.
This technique consists of using a microphone as a microphone resin head, in which 2 microphones have been inserted ear canals and in verifying correct sound performance by listening to the recording again after a few minutes from the performance of the concert by a committee of critical review using a headphone listening system Specially calibrated Spirit Torino.
With the Spirit Binaural Recording system you will be able to obtain a particularly realistic listening experience both with traditional hi-fi systems and with headphones thanks to the fact that the Binaural Head that we use, manages to map the position and distance of sounds in it the way our brain does it. If you listen to this record closing your eyes, afterwards a few minutes it will be as if you were there with us, on the day of concert.
