In Reply to: Best "LIVE" Classical Recordings posted by trcnetmsncom on January 31, 2016 at 10:48:29:
The recent cycle of Beethoven quartets on Zig-Zag Territoires ( 2 boxes) by The Belcea Qt. has some of the best sound I have encountered for an "in concert" recording.
Firstly the cycle was recorded in one of the world's best acoustics (Snape, Aldeburgh) and secondly if the booklet photos are anything to go on, the microphone set-up used was a classic Decca tree (with augmentation). This is unusual for a live recording as the tree is visually very dominant, especially with a small group. The result is IMO what used to be termed a "demonstration" quality recording.
As for the performances this is certainly one of the best cycles of recent years ( 2012) and has received favourable comparison with the classic Busch cycle. Highly recommended.
