Grieg (1843-1907)

Description:

Italian violin virtuoso Salvatore Accardo, who turns 80 in 2021, recorded the complete Grieg violin sonatas in Milan in February 2020. Grieg composed three violin sonatas in his lifetime, the first and second sonatas written in his 20s, and the third sonata written in his 40s, all of which are said to be beautiful music filled with Nordic sentiment and highly appreciated by Grieg himself. FONE label owner and recording engineer Giulio Cesare Ricci used Neumann U47 and U48 tube microphones manufactured in 1947 and 1949, which were also used for the Beatles' recordings at Abbey Road Studios and RCA's "Living Stereo" series recordings. Tube microphones manufactured in 1947 and 1949 were used for the Beatles recordings and RCA's "Living Stereo" series recordings. The result is a uniquely natural sound that captures all the nuances and overtone richness of the sound, bringing out the best of the Sala del Hermelino's acoustics. Tokyo M-Plus
