Sibelius – String Trio in G Minor

In March 2022, Niklas Werani, a bachelor’s student in the Audio and Video program, recorded the String Trio in G Minor by Jean Sibelius , played by the Trio Coriolis at the schwere reiter in Munich. The production was part of his final examination in the Classical Music Recording concentration, completed under the supervision of Prof. Dagmar Birwe.

The production was conceived as an immersive Auro-3D project, meaning a total of ten speakers were used for playback, arranged around and above the listener. A channel-based miking approach was used for the Auro-3D, with each speaker assigned a special microphone signal. The stereo mix, prepared separately, received the Bronze Award at the AES Student Recording Competition.
