ABOUT FIDELIO AUDIO
Fidelio is a young dynamic company specializing in quality acoustic recording. We aim to promote local and international talent in classical and jazz music.
The company was created with the goal to reproduce, with no compromise and as accurately as possible, one or more musicians performing in a room with a natural and fabulous acoustic without artifacts.
To reach its objectives, Fidelio uses sophisticated equipment rarely used. The quality of our recordings relies mainly in our master piece equipment: the human ear. In fact, we carefully verify more than once all parameters with a careful listening. This listening process is done at each step of the production: from the recording sessions to the printed disc.
Our production team is composed of specialists having a background of several years of experience in recording and reproduction of music. They all share a common passion: music. Each team member has a musical background and is able to understand the artists' needs.
Our efforts are focussed to promote the essential in all sound recordings: the music.
Music is the «raison d\'être» of all recordings, leaving room for emotions. We hope artists share Fidelio\'s objectives in performing to reach them. Musicians chosen by Fidelio use selected acoustical instruments.
Fidelio uses high quality equipment of avant-garde to provide the best results. We are using tube and transistor equipment to fill the acoustic requirements of a given recording project. We are using a limited number of microphones to keep a realistic stereophonic image. The listener owning high fidelity equipment will appreciate all the quality in our recordings.
At the turning of 21st century, Fidelio tries to bring you freshness and authenticity. We are looking at new tendencies to make sure we always provide you with the best possible recordings.
Get only the best seats.
Ask for the quality offered by Fidelio.
