I would love to have a recording like that. When are you going to make the
recording?

I'm still waiting for approval from the orchestra chair. Could be sometime
this spring, if things go as I would like. The staff likes the idea of a
promotional video with 5.1 ch surround sound, but as with any professional
orchestra, there are legal issues that have to be sorted out carefully
first.
Maybe I'll try to get into recording some pipe organs in the meantime,
although there are few cathedrals around here with a real pipe organ, let
alone one with 32' pedal stops.

Fewer people have to agree on a permission if you aim for chamber music
and the actual dynamic range may be larger than the one of a full
orchestra.

That certainly does depend on program material. A Symphony could have a huge
dynamic range that would make a string quartet sound quite anemic. A few
pieces by Chabrier come to mind. There are many more of course.

First the general point: a chamber music event is able to contain near
silence, a symphone orchestra event is not, there are more clothes
rustling and people moving in chairs and more people on stage - and
usually also in the hall - breathing. The peak SPL - as seen from the
mic position - of a chamber music event is the peak SPL of a violin,
flute or concert grand, all of which can be quite loud, alternatively in
case of omni mics the peak SPL generated by the applause.

Or Takemitsu, or ... or ....

On your second reading of my post you may notice the use of the wording
"could" rather than "will", this to allow for the exceptions.

Dynamic range per se is not about total loudness, it is about the
difference between audience holding their breath in expectative silence
after the sign from the concert master and the FFF. It takes unamplified
avantgarde jazzical to really beat chamber music in that regard.

While that's true, the circumstances are that I have a business relationship
in place with a particular symphony orchestra, and since I know of no
chamber music groups in the area, I'm working on the lead that I have.

Given the fact that the regional and local symphonies are starving, it would
seem in their best interest to get a promotional produced piece for
themselves.
