On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the label Fone, label boss Giulio Cesare Ricci published an album with recordings from the "Museo Piaggio", where from August 30 to September 8 this year a special exhibition for Fone was held.
On this album you will find a selection of musical delights, all of which were recorded with the participation of Italian musicians. And the topic of "Italy" is achieved not only by the participants but also by the works and composers choice: between works by Puccini and Vivaldi finds the Symphony no 4 in A major op.90, the "Italian" which is interpreted by the Orchestra dell Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia with much wit and passion.
"Incontri" to German "Encounters" is the name Giulio Cesare Ricci this album he makes himself and numerous enthusiastic audiophiles worldwide on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of his label Fon as a gift. Arrested are on encounters with a variety of classical musicians who found a home over the years at Fon. Here, more than any classical compilation, but an exciting musical cross-section from the Middle Ages to the present arises: as the opening sounds the Gregorian Gaudeamus, sung by the monks' Schola of the monastery of Montecassino (whose dense and rich acoustics were captured with stunning realism) , at the end there is the Concerto for string orchestra by Nino Rota (known for the soundtrack to "The Godfather"), and the way to get there is Heinrich von Biber, Vivaldi, Haydn, Mozart, Chopin and Puccini. An exciting, condensed history of music - 900 years music and 30 years of audiophile sound quality, combines on a single, fascinating LP.

The story of fonè
In the context of classical and jazz music market, fonè proposes three decades of recordings using advanced techniques, aimed at the recovery of the original musical atmospheres.
Each new recording is the result of a passionate encounter between art and the art of execution and aims to recreate and reproduce the same spirit with which the works of the past have been performed. One basic feature that makes the difference between fonè and others, is the recording of musical works in natural places and original, constant production that leads to choose from time to time historically more space? Suitable for: church, theater, villa, living room ...
All this is done by retrieving a simple incision that does not do violence to the music: all the equipment is in high definition. Using pairs of valves Neumann microphones in the years 1947 and 1949 (U47, U48 and M49) using techniques very natural timbre bimicrofoniche field effect. These microphones have an important story: they are the microphones used to record the Beatles at Abbey Road Studio and RCA for the "Living Stereo."
No use is made of electronic manipulation of the signal, nor any artificial correction that if they make a sound easier to carve, it is true that distort so unacceptable. With this method you get to transfer the music information on the standard analog for the production of virgin vinyl 180g & 200g
fonè uses for the standard analog Nagra 4S, Studer C37 and J37 and Ampex ATR 102, the standard for digital, in collaboration with Philips the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology that has opened the doors to the SACD. For all subsequent stages of processing and control, in which it must be a playback of the sound reproduction systems are used very sophisticated.
