Hello,
Live in Munich is a live album recorded by the Bob Reynolds Group during a performance in Munich. Saxophonist Bob Reynolds presents a repertoire blending contemporary jazz and fusion, with a strong emphasis on interaction between the musicians and improvisation.
Produced by the independent label IAN Records, known for its focus on sound quality and productions in high-quality and spatial audio formats, this album benefits from a meticulous mastering that clearly conveys both the sound quality and the live atmosphere.
The waveform of the CD (or Blu-ray stereo) version shows a very good dynamic range confirmed with DR12, despite the limited use of a dynamic limiter, without which even greater dynamics would be available.
The Blu-ray with Pure Audio tracks is included in a box set that also contains the CD. The Blu-ray also features the video version of the concert, and, like the Pure Audio part, includes audio tracks in stereo, DTS-HD MA 7.1 Auro-3D, and Dolby TrueHD Atmos (ref: LC84945).
Global Spatialization
The goal of recreating the atmosphere of a concert is brilliantly achieved. Listening the Dolby Atmos on the Blu-ray in 7.1.4 truly transports you to the concert hall, with increased immersion thanks to a recording specially designed for three-dimensional reproduction. There are no flashy effects or spectacular movements here: what stands out is the natural spatialisation of the venue, which skilfully captures the acoustics of the hall. The resulting sound realism gives the listening experience a tangible quality, as if you were really there.
You can compare samples from the six versions tested, as well as all of the measurements, here (link).
Enjoy listening,
Jean-François
