These have in the past showcased the sincerity of our endeavors to relate the very essence of pure music over pure silence. We recently joined efforts with Sven Boenicke of Boenicke loudspeakers fame, who has also been pushing the envelope of recording quality together with Serge Schmidlin of Audio Consulting exotic audio equipment fame. Together we assembled the very best recording chain we could muster. Every little detail of design was brought to new heights of technical and musical achievement. The result is a double CD grand piano recording available now through Boenicke Audio.
