1st Concerto, 1st mvt. from piano entry, 224kbps ambient stereo:
The main impetus for this was to try and fix the dreadful sound of the 1st Concerto, which was recorded the day before the equally appallingly recorded Emperor Concerto. Despite acres of swish to deal with, I think it came out rather well in the end...
