The Recording of this Italian Opera was in collaboration with the RTBF (Belgian Radio)
The Microphone setup was a standard setup with 4 DPA 4006 with APE's on the strings and 2 more fill microphones in the first violins and celli. On the 2nd and alti we did not put a fill in because there were only 2 rows of players with right behind them the woodwinds. The woodwinds had Schoeps omni's and all brass had the Sennheiser MKH40. We had 2 U87 on the bases. When you only place 1 at this close distance, you don't have the impression of a group of players. On the harp we placed a KM184 and on the percussion some more DPA.
