DXD 352.8kHz/24bit Direct Metal Master 180 Gram Audiophile Grade Vinyl!

This project was produced exclusively for 180g audiophile vinyl. Souvenir has been referred to as "the most beautiful music ever composed for the string orchestra". Ensemble leaders Øyvind Gimse and Geir Inge Lotsberg decided early for Tchaikovsky's "Souvenir de Florence" and 2L opted for the "Serenade for Strings".

The Trondheim Soloists are regarded as one of the top chamber orchestras in the world. Their Divertimenti and their Folk Style were both nominated for a total of five Grammy Awards in categories "Best Small Ensemble", "Best Engineered Album" and "Best Surround Sound Album".

Two weeks were allocated in 2011 to record this album. Artistic director Øyvind Gimse and his associate Geir Inge Lotsberg initially chose two pieces that represent, in their estimation, "the most beautiful music ever composer for the string orchestra": Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence and his Serenade for Strings. Aiming for a 90 minute program, they were left with 30 more minutes to record, so the orchestra and 2L logged on to Facebook and asked the listeners worldwide what they'd like to hear. The audience responded: Nielsen's Suite Opus 1. A little gem that would exploit the Trondheim Soloists' singular way with Nordic repertoire.

Inspired by Morten Lindberg's extensive work with choral music, the Tchaikovsky's SERENADE was recorded with the ensemble placed in mixed voices, meaning no one is sitting beside anyone playing the same part, creating a totally new soundscape to the music. Carl Nielsen's SUITE opus 1 is recorded in a more "traditional" way in these sessions.

"Through its dynamic co-operation TrondheimSolistene (the Trondheim Soloists) and 2L has always sort to stretch the boundaries of what is possible to convey to the listener, aiming for the ultimate recorded listening experience. With the Serenade the team has taken things one step further with the TrondheimSolistene truly justifying their name. By placing each individual next to someone from a different voice rather than sitting in conventional sections we are working at the very outer limits of what is possible and creating chamber music at the highest level" - Øyvind Gimse, 2012.
