Hi, congrats! great interpretation. Question: I also love the sound, could you tell me which mics were used and on which pattern?. it seems to me like a stereo pair of rodes on cardioid mode and just one mono on the piano (akg maybe?). Im curious as to why the microphones were placed like that below the singer. ... maybe you had more mics above that we can't see?

[@piotrwieczorek4922]

Hi Adrian, thanks for the kind words! Indeed, we had cardioid C414s on the piano and U87s on the voice, apart from DPA 4006s for the main pair and some ambient mics. The microphones were placed low to not obstruct Alfheidur's face in the video!
