did as little damage as possible, to the nuance and detail of everything.
You really do only need a handful of microphone capsules to free a musical event, from a one time only event, and make it available to us all, forever.
Even for surround sound.

Wilma was so important not because she was one of the first women in recording but that she was one of the finest, female or male. It was a magic grouping of Bob and Wilma and all the other members of that team which so changed the mechanics and approach to recording classical music. They were certainly pioneers and highly successful. She will be sorely missed!
. . . she (and the whole Mercury team) left.
I'm sure I have 90% of the CD and SACD reissues from the Mercury Living Presence catalog. When I think of stellar examples of minimally microphoned recordings, there are sure to be myriad MLP recordings which always come to mind.
Of that original Mercury team, I know Harold Lawrence is still around (not too far from where I live) - I should check and see if he's available for a visit.
Anyway, it's sad about Wilma. RIP.
just a cover or two, for the record
Thanks for all the striking jackets of the stereo recordings but I think the single mic mono recordings were the most remarkable.
