and possibly the first Lutheran oratorio.Very moving, directed by our own St Pauls music director, and his own 'secular' choir, plus a small orchestra not old instruments but 'hip', and locally-built replica tracked action chamber organ played by our own young organist, James.
I tried a higher and far closer mike position than before at our Church, because of an early reflection just above the choir. The recording may need some gentle Eq in consequence.
Haven't edited it or listened to it properly and got lost in listening to the actual performance.
We do get good headphones for location monitoring which only ram home how far we have to go with 'audio'.
Once I have a level I rarely need to touch a thing.
Had to use a fixed X-Y mike, too. Which will give a fairly narrow stage.
They weren't as good as these guys, but they were live, and they weren't being paid. Mostly very good singing, and I ought to know!
