This was recorded during an interval of a vocal recital at a concert hall (Musaion) at the University of Pretoria. The singer and accompanist took a quick break, and the audience remained seated chatting quietly. You'll hear the rich natural reverberation of the concert hall. Although the auditorium has space for about 500, there were only about 30 people still inside at this point. The concert was only recorded for archival purposes, but I rigged a double MS trio of mics to play around with the recording on a surround setup. Recorded with 2 x Sennheiser MKH40 mics (rear and front Mid) and a Sennheiser MKH30 mic for the shared Side recorded into a Focusrite Liquid 56 interface.

Take note that the 6 channels are not 5.1, but Cine 6.0. (L R C Ls Rs Cs)
(Have a look at my other upload with the same name for the stereo version. It has only the front MS pair decoded to stereo. )
