I want to sincerely thanks all the tapers of this wonderful concert, the chance to work on this new recording was a dream come true. Thank You !!
There was little to do with these source recordings, other than mix them down in a way that brought out a well rounded sound with ballanced channels.
The volume of the applause was lowered quite a bit. Some mic bumbs remain as well as some minor artifacts I introduced, since my audio work is far from perfect.

The Great Marsh
