I still haven't listened, though I'm looking forward to it. From this morning's Pentatone newsletter:
Michael Tilson Thomas received the highly esteemed Lifetime Achievement Award, acknowledging his decades of extraordinary contributions to classical music. In his acceptance speech, he spoke warmly of his career and the personal significance of his works. To mark this achievement, we’ve just released a deluxe box set featuring nearly 5 hours of his most intimate compositions: GRACE: The Music of Michael Tilson Thomas.
So the latest post on classically trained jazz pianist Ethan Iverson's Substack is an interview with Gene Gaudette, the founder & label head of Urlicht AudioVisual, which is issuing Iverson's next album (Playfair Sonatas--with a cover by New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast!). Gaudette has an enviable history in the industry, including at least a couple of brushes with surround. At BMG, he prepared the reissue of Virgil Fox's Heavy Organ at Carnegie Hall in Dolby Surround (originally released in quad on CD4 and R2R in 1973--calling Michael Dutton!); later he produced the release of Miranda Cuckson's recording of Luigi Nono's La Lontananza Nostalgica Utopica Futura, issued on Blu-Ray with a 5.1 mix (a New York Times "Best Recording of 2012").
Gaudette's shortlist of reference recordings includes several surround mixes, among them Trio Mediæval's An Old Hall Ladymass on 2L:
