Water Lily Russian Recordings and turning the other cheek....

What Wilcox said, I belive is valid more in the case of an orchestra seated in the traditional arrangement. The seating arrangement of the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic however, is radicaly different form that of any other orchestra. The brass players sit hard right along the short dimention of the rectanguler stage, blowing ACCROSS the orchestra! The percussion is all the way in the back to the right. The strings are split: the first violins are on the right with the string bass, while the second violins are left of center, followed by the violas. The cellos are in the center followed by the woodwinds.
As for the mike placement, the one who records all the concerts of the SPPO complimented me for picking the spot I did and told me, that tests done by Soviet acousticians had indicated that very spot, where my mikes were, as having the ideal ratio of direct to reflected sound. KAVI.
