Grundig TS1000 + GCMS333 - Concert Recording

[jogunast]

Hello fellow Grundigophiles.

I found recording of a Christmas concert I recorded with TS1000 and GCMS microphones and thought I lost it. Managed to recover it from old hard disk.
Concert was recorded in UNESCO heritage site - St. James Cathedral - Croatia, Šibenik.
I was called in last minute by one of the singers if I could record it.. I decided to try my TS1000.
I set up microphones in ORTF configuration and pressed record seconds before start of a program, not even knowing where the choirs will be singing.
They themselves didn't even know where to stand when they saw microphones so result isn't ideal on all tracks.
There are however some wonderful moments especially with organ and opera singer; background noises and clapping that help to recreate the space of cathedral.

Some songs are old Croatian mostly traditional chants, but there are few English standards:
-male choir had around 15 members (3-4m from GCSMS)
-small mixed choir 5 (1.5-2.5m from GCSMS )
-opera singer accompanied by organ (>12m from GCSMS)
-at the end there is "finale" where everybody sings together.
There are two mixes.

I uploaded recording for sharing with anyone interested in listening TS1000 in action (:
Hope you will enjoy it,
Frane
