A few words on the recording:
This is the 5th pure Opus 3 DSD recording on Super Audio CD and the 12th in multichannel/surround sound. The Quintet was recorded live and in surround at one of Stockholm's best mid-size concert halls, Nybrokajen 11, earlier called The Royal Musical Acadamy of Stockholm. The audience was specially invited and they were so silent during the recording that it is not until the applause begins at the end of the performance that you realise that it was a live recording.
