In 5.1 musical details compete for space, particularly in the large tuttis - Not any more…

In the CD category I recorded and mixed the new Warner Classics recording of Aida in Rome with Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
“do not pass up the chance to see the power and achievement of Jonas Kaufmann and Kristine Opolais in the lead roles. Even in this day and age, to see (and hear) such uninhibited physical master of stage parts in opera is not so common - and everyone from the artists themselves to the director, designers and video director should be prasied…around them the support is terrifically sharp, the well-placed chorus included”
