Recordist's notes
Stepping out of the busy, narrow streets of the Old Town into the courtyard of the Hofburg, one enters a spacious, quiet soundscape, shaped primarily by reflections on the stone surfaces. The courtyard is mainly designed in the Rococo style. The relaxed atmosphere arises particularly from the strong contrast to the bustling Old Town, making the courtyard perceived as a retreat.
