General Information In the summer of 2001, AIX Records Founder and Chief Engineer Mark Waldrep, Ph.D. traveled to Bucharest, Romania with nine road cases of state-of-the art, high-resolution audio equipment to record the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra. The intention was to capture first class performances of familiar classical repertoire using his unorthodox method of recording...that of using many stereo pairs of mics and high-resolution recording equipment. This DVD-Audio disc is among the releases from those recording sessions. The tracks were recorded live without an audience in the Atheneum in downtown Bucharest, Romania. About the Recording Approach This recording is NOT an attempt to "document" a live recording of an orchestra, but instead an exploration of high-resolution recording coupled with several different mixing techniques. There are four mixes included on this single sided disc: 5.1 audience and 5.1 stage mixes, a PCM stereo mix done at 96 kHz/24 bits and a 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1 audience mix encoded with Meridian Lossless Packing [MLP]. The MLP track is the highest possible quality, but is only playable on DVD-Audio hardware. You can be placed in the middle of ensemble and hear the sound of the instrumental sections coming from all directions or move yourself into the audience and hear the music from the best seat in the house. Listen to familiar music in an entirely new way. About the Disc This DVD is prepared according to the DVD-Audio specification but contains tracks that are completely compatible with existing DVD-Video machines. There are 4 Groups included on the disc, each containing its own version of the compositions. Group 1, playable only on DVD-Audio machines, is the MLP track. Group 2 is the PCM stereo mix, Group 3 is the Dolby Digital 5.1 Audience mix and Group 4 is the 5.1 Stage mix encoded using DTS. About the DVD-Audio The DVD-Video side also contains a comprehensive explanation of the DVD format [including DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and DVD-ROM], digital encoding methodologies [AC-3, DTS, PCM and MLP], instructions on how to setup your 5.1 channel surround system, test tones/channel IDs checks and demonstrations comparing stereo mixes to 5.1 mixes. Everything you want to know about DVD and 5.1 channel surround is on this disc.
