Summary
On 19 October 2002 Sara K performed together with Chris Jones at the ARTmax in Braunschweig, Germany. The concert was captured both on video and on (digital) tape for the Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus Tour DVD. The live atmosphere of this performance (an additional concert especially organized by B&W) comes across both aurally and visually amazingly well.
"Recording a live DVD is truly an adventure, with many potential surprises – the artist’s performance, audience reaction, acoustic environment, sound technology and the interaction of all these parameters. After only a few moments, it was clear that Sara K and Chris Jones were delivering one of their finest performances ever and that the audience was completely under their spell. The hall’s abundance of glass and stone surfaces produced a bright and transparent sound, with an overtone-rich room response and a 2-second natural reverb. Consequently, there was no artificial reverb added during mixing. The acoustic authenticity of this recording is mainly thanks to four B & W Nautilus 801 loudspeakers, driven by four Classé CA-401 power amplifiers, delivering a breathtakingly uncoloured sound to the audience. Thanks to the 801’s remarkable radial dispersion, the musicians were able to hear themselves perfectly, without any need for additional monitoring. This phenomena enabled a more intense dynamic interplay between the musicians on stage and furthermore eliminated the problem of sound colouration caused by monitor speakers 'bleeding' over the vocal microphones. The final result is a recording without compression or additional EQ-ing, with remarkable dynamics and an exceptionally authentic sound". - Gunter Pauler
