Neuklang Klangwelten Vol. 5

Neuklang – Vol. 5 (2015) is the fifth installment of the audiophile sampler series from the prestigious Bauer Studios label. This release is widely considered a turning point for the series, as it began to incorporate more diverse international jazz projects and “Studio Konzert” recordings—a series of high-end direct-to-2-track analog sessions. In Vol. 5, the focus on “Klangwelten” (Sound Worlds) emphasizes the acoustic atmosphere of the recording space. Audiophiles often use this specific volume to test natural reverb and room acoustics, as many tracks feature instruments recorded with minimal processing to preserve their organic character.
