Under the inspired and dynamic direction of young Quebec conductor Jean-Pascal Hamelin, the Youth Orchestra of the Americas offers a refreshing and sonically stunning version of Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony, also known as the New World Symphony. Recorded live in concert in August 2009 amid the unique acoustics of the Domaine Forget in Charlevoix, Québec, the double ADISQ Award nominated album also features the irresistible Danzón No. 2, a nostalgic yet lively piece by Mexican composer Arturo Marquez. A dazzling Bootlegger’s Tarentella by Canadian composer John Estacio concludes the programme.

The recording was done with only two Schoeps M-222 tube microphones connected to a tubed preamplifier and linked directly to a dCS 905 analogue-to-digital converter with a 352 kHz DXD resolution. A dCS Scarlatti clock and a Pyramix Mykerinos recorder completed the recording arsenal.
