Yamaha and Steinberg capture Al Bano and Romina Power live show

In the autumn of 2015, one of Italy’s best-loved pop acts, Al Bano and Romina Power, released their first album in twenty years. The multitrack recording for ‘The Very Best - Live aus Verona’ was made on Steinberg Nuendo Live, via monitor engineer Francesco Spadaccino’s Yamaha CL5 console and Rio3224-D i/o units. It was the first time that a major label album release has been recorded in this way.

Released on Universal Music, the album was recorded at the duo’s Arena di Verona concert in May. The show was also broadcast live on Rai 1, Italy’s premier national television channel. “This show was huge”, says Spadaccino. “We had a 48-piece orchestra, seven-piece band and 16 special guests singing with Al and Romina in a two hour show. The Arena di Verona has a massive stage, and being able to operate the console with the StageMix app helped to make it a success.”

The production had a day for setup, another for rehearsal and the third was show day. In addition to the stage microphones and DIs, Spadaccino set up four ambient microphones to capture the feel of the sold-out audience. The album was mixed at Al Bano’s own studio in Cellino San Marco, Italy, by Alessandro Vanara.
