Tube Processed Analog Master /  natural sound recording /  HiFi Reference

Conceived, mastered and produced by Giulio Cesare Ricci

The Master for the SACD was created by transferring the original analog master

made with the AMPEX ATR 102 (Electronic Tube Ampex Model 351 - 1965)

2 tracks 1⁄2” 30ips modified by David Manley.

The mastering for the SACD was done by Giulio Cesare Ricci using the entirely analog and tube-powered Signoricci system.

"I approached this work fascinated by the simplicity of the Antiphons, by that minimalism that leaves all avenues of imagination open, an extremely precious contrast, ancient and very modern. "Gratia" aims to demonstrate, or rather to confirm, that even the most diverse and distant languages can meet under the sign of a boundless mysticism, of a love that can go beyond individual cults."
