On April 4-5,2000, Delores Stevens and the Ives String Quartet became the first chamber music ensemble to have their performance of the Brahms Piano Quintet recorded, mixed and mastered at 96kHz/24bits. The recording took place in Zipper Auditorium at the Colburn School of Performing Arts in downtown Los Angeles. With high-resolution Euphonix equipment capturing 16 channels at 96kHz/24bits and five locked off cameras trained on the performers, one of the most well known chamber music works became the first project for AIX Records.
