Sampled at Wigmore Hall, the distinctive acoustics of this legendary space elevate every note. With its prominent early reflections from the proscenium arch, Wigmore Hall’s sound is ideal for quartets, allowing the intricate interplay of strings to resonate perfectly. In partnership with acclaimed engineer Andy Blaney, this collection blends traditional articulations with modern sampling techniques to capture the soul of a string quartet. 🎧
