Both with digital (portable DAT) and open R2R tape decks. Recordings were mostly of solo violin in relatively small rooms, violin and cello in a medium sized concert hall, violin and piano in a music studio and private residence and string quartet at live concerts.
In addition, through the generosity of a canadian engineer, I received a fantastic recording of Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet that was recorded with a single stereo ribbon microphone at a distance of about 6 meters from the front of the stage. It fits well with the same piece of music i heard live at approximately same distance.
The best were the solo violin on R2R of the 24 Paganini caprices...presence like i have never heard on a commercial recording...even though a bit dry its pretty stunning.
