Music works with space. No manufacturer of high-quality audio components in the world has embraced this as fully as MBL. For the sake of the music.

Music is created in space. Only the movement of air and the effect of the differently reflecting walls create a sound that carries, flows and affects us. This is why we chose the church renowned for its acoustics, the Paterskirche in Kempen, for our first joint recording with Concerto Köln. In this way, we can dispense with digital reverberation or other spatial interventions. The church room alone carries the sound. After all,  this environment provides all that is needed to bring sounds to life. Our goal is to offer you this experience at home. In the collaboration between MBL and Concerto Köln, the technical and artistic aspects of the music merge into a fascinating whole. Only in this way is it possible to preserve a concert experience created for the moment and to make it relivable time and again. This results in recordings that make the emotional depth of a first-class performance accessible to us at home. The chief developer of MBL, Jürgen Reis, lives with and for the music. The combination of this long-standing passion with his extraordinary technical competence led him to MBL. For 33 years he has been able to pursue his unconditional quest for quality without having to compromise. Here he not only works technically, but also musically - creating these extraordinary recordings. After days and weeks of intensive work, when, with the utmost concentration and precision, all of the performers in the concert deliver the results of their work, unforgettable moments are created that move the soul. To preserve this emotional intensity is the aim of MBL. That is why we do not make any compromises. Neither with our equipment nor with this recording.
