“Senur” first chapter.

In 10th of February 2013 I recorded a concert with Amateur symphony orchestra. 
The program contained a wonderful melody “Senur” composed in four chapters by Sigurður Sævarsson. It was composed for string orchestra and obo. Both the orchestra and the soloist, Guðrún Másdóttir, played it flawless. 
I was pretty happy with the recording result, even though the concert hall (a church) sounded terrible for recording. It has a very harsh sound and difficult peaks in some resonance frequencies. 
Over the orchestra I used a Jecklin disk with a double pair of mics, parallel MKH8020 and MKH20 in 45°+45° (see following picture). 
Close to the soloist was a pair of MKH8040 and far behind in the hall was a pair of SE4400a with spaced Omni (70cm). 
 
Past months I have got a few emails where people ask me for a sound sample with my Jecklin disk. So this is it. Hereby is the first chapter of Senur. The only post work I do for this Soundcloud work out was turning off MKH8020 on the Jecklin disk and the SE4400a far behind in the hall. Then I increase the gain of MKH20 on the Jecklin disk about +8dB
