list of equipment used in the PPO @ CCP recording sessions (http://www.sound-weavers.com/recording-tracking/recording-the-philippine-philharmonic-orchestra-at-the-ccp/)

very straightforward techniques
- mics
+ selection
+ placement
+ positioning
- signal path was just setting gain levels

I've been playing with the idea of putting 2 PZM's back-to-back and hovering that at centerstage to try and capture a stereo field of the orchestra. I wonder if anyone's tried that before, at least locally.
