"The Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra and Wojciech Rajski have recorded a very fresh Mozart LP for the (valve) purist Tacet label; here is a real heavyweight of classical repertoire… The very crisp, very clear, very listenable-to recording by the Polish ensemble shows up Beethoven’s brilliant design delightfully: there are no romanticising curtains to obscure the picture…" Vinylkatalog

The fact that Andreas Spreer has again brought out from the label TACET an LP whose entire production is based solely on tube technology, I had already experienced at the High End in Munich. A little later arrived the review copy. Hinged cover, 180- gram vinyl and an audible careful pressing give pleasure. The recording took place in a Polish church instead of using two tube microphones from Neumann type M49. 
The interpretation of the A Major Symphony of Beethoven by Wojciech Rajski and the Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra enthusiastically. The conductor asked the orchestra rather fast tempos from (they are surprisingly close to Carlos Kleiber's legendary DG recording with the Vienna Philharmonic) and lets it play tremendously precise and transparent. The music sounds less powerful than usual by orchestras with conventional instruments, rather taut and very dance. Recommended!

Inspiring Tube Sound:
What is it that makes "tube sound" what it is? The advantages of tubes over transistors are difficult to describe in technical terms. Perhaps the reference to the higher and different type of distortion with tube amplifiers is most applicable, although "distortion" has a rather negative meaning: the more distortion, the worse it is. So this can't be entirely right. Besides, the distortions of these microphones of 1947 are much too slight to be really noticeable. The recording of the Partitas of Johann Sebastian Bach with Florin Paul is, for me, although meanwhile almost 23 years old, still the best example in our TACET catalogue of the special quality of tube microphones. The two U 47 microphones by Neumann made their contribution. 
For the LP, however, (except for rare exceptions, justified for musical reasons) the signal is even stored on a tube tape recorder and then mastered with valve equipment, so that one would be right in saying that for the entire production not a single transistor was used. 
 
We have always been especially pleased to receive so much feedback about our Tube Only productions. This motivates us even more to keep working with this technology and rescue it from oblivion. People have told us that the music sounds warmer, without losing any of its TACET brilliance. The timbres glow more. We have also heard that people have the impression of a more homogeneous sound, whatever that is meant to be. So let everyone listen to their own hearts and to the Tube Only recordings and feel something special! Even the sheer joy of this slightly nostalgic outstanding technology can be reason enough to like these productions. Yet what would it all be without the wonderful work of the artists!
