Thanks Macker and Jos for your kind comments.
@Jos : The position of the instruments is a very interesting subject which can give rise to interminable debates ... The real problem is that there is no hard and fast rules (except that the first violins are always on the left). Afterwards, it depends on the size of the orchestra, the repertoire, the venue, the conductor's personal tastes, etc, etc ... Pinnock, for example, has made a lot of recordings with the first and second violins in left. This is personnally what is use, so it does not shock me too much, but i fully understand that we may want another configuration. Regarding the underlying reasons whiwh led to the choice of this orchestral configuration for the recording of the Synchron series, I think that Paul Kopf would be better able to answer this interesting question.
Very best.
Phil
