\"Chamber music fans are considered conservative and not very tech-savvy. However, this is a prejudice that is easy to refute. The Basel Chamber Music Society (www.kammermusik.org) is now launching a label on which it documents its concerts in the Hans Huber Hall not only acoustically, but also visually.A special feature of the label is that the recordings will be released in parallel on 'normal' CD and Blu-ray Disc. The first edition documents the concert on August 23, 2012 with the Zemlinsky Quartet, in which the string quartet \"Madrigaux\" by Jean-Jacques D\u00fcnki was premiered, followed by Alexander Zemlinsky's first quartet in A major. Also included on the Blu-ray Disc is the interview that Elmar Budde conducted with the composer D\u00fcnki. The sound quality is even better than that of the conventional compact disc, provided you have a suitable playback station.\"Sigfried Schibli, Basler Zeitung, June 20, 2013<\/p>\n

The aim of the visualization of the concert is to avoid distraction. By taking the real concert situation as the starting point for a single, consistent shot that focuses - also through concentrated lighting - and only shows what can really be seen in the concert. A conversation with one of the musicians or composers is also recorded on the Blue-ray disc. <\/p>\n
