From Yarlung Records, released in 2023, some excellent Karnatik music in the classical tradition with an entirely acoustic performance captured in Pure DSD256. The performance occurred in the excellent acoustics of Samueli Theater at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa. Bob Attiyeh used a single AKG C24 microphone (loaned by a friend of the label and previously owned by Frank Sinatra) with vacuum tube microphone amplification and directly to a Merging Technologies HAPI A/D converter. And to your ears.
Performers: Aditya Prakash voice, with Kamalakiran Vinjamuri (violin), Rajna Swaminathan (mridangam), and Vini Sundaram (tambura).
