A veritable audiophile delicacy – lovingly preserved historic microphones, a mixing desk consisting of nostalgic V72 amplifiers and W85 regulators, the analogue M5 Telefunken tape recorder – each item a legend in itself!

And what about the music? Answer: nothing but the best! As is always the case with this violinist, whether he is acting as leader of the Gaede Trio or solo. With skill and discernment, Daniel Gaede serves us a unique encore menu of virtuoso prize exhibits and enjoyable dream-pieces. He is accompanied by Xuesu Liu on piano and the Polish Chamber Orchestra conducted by Wojciech Rajski.

Daniel Gaede, Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra - Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (2008)

Title: Daniel Gaede, Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra – Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (2008)
Genre: Classical
Format: DSF DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC

Recorded in the exclusive ‘tube only’ technique by Tacet, this recording of Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is something very special. The playing by Daniel Gaede and the Polish Chamber Orchestra is full of life, making this extremely well known piece seem fresh and new.

The German record label Tacet has become known for its no-compromise “Tube Only” nostalgic recording technique, using nothing but tube microphones and amplifiers. This approach adds a naturalness, warmth and vividness to an already remarkable performance of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Nowadays, musicians strive not only to convey the beauty of Vivaldi’s writing but also his dramatic way of accurately indicating each image of the season being depicted. The Tacet recording certainly succeeds in that respect. Violinist Daniel Gaede, conductor Wojciech Rajski, and the musicians of the Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra fully realize the composer’s stated intentions. When they play the opening of La Primavera (Spring), I feel lighthearted and optimistic; when they play the opening of L’Inverno (Winter), I shiver with cold.
