2L Music Store – Audiophiles from Norway

All those in search of truly outstanding recordings will probably find what they are looking for at the Norwegian label 2L. The company now presents all its recordings in various forms in the new 2L Music Store.

There is hardly a label that sets such high standards for its recordings as the Norwegian label 2L The Nordic Sound. It was founded by Morten Lindberg, a man who is known for being satisfied with nothing less than absolute perfection.

Morten Lindberg has found a niche for his label 2L that he has always served, namely the genre of classical music in exciting new interpretations as well as a clear focus on modern Scandinavian classical music.

Extraordinary recording locations, outstanding recording setups

For this, they sometimes choose very unusual recording locations, such as churches, which offer excellent acoustics due to their special construction in Scandinavia.

It is also crucial that 2L, under the direction of Morten Lindberg, uses very unusual setups for the recording, which are decisive for the uniqueness of the recordings. Not only is surround usually used for the recording, but the musicians are often arranged in a completely new way, so that the listener does not have the feeling that the performers are sitting in front of him, but that he is directly involved in the action.

Maximum quality

The recordings are made with the highest possible quality. Morten Lindberg uses the most modern recording technology available.

To ensure that music lovers actually benefit from this, the recordings are also offered in the best possible form, both in physical form on sound carriers and as downloads.

Thus, 2L offers music in stereo as well as surround and here in Dolby Atmos or Auro-3D as a download as well as Pure Audio Blu-ray and Hybrid SACD; for selected recordings, one can also opt for vinyl.
