I used the U87, but with a closer mic placement than in my mic shootout video. You can kind of see the top of it in the video. Full disclosure: I used a little added room reverb for this video (unlike my mic shootout video where I didn't use any processing).
Great sound, and beautiful intonation - but in bar 4 you are ignoring the clearly marked intention of the composer: to have the quarter notes on beats 2 and 3 played SHORT. The rest is great, but if I was listening to an audition that sounded like this, I would question the level of attention to detail and discipline to execute the whole part as written (with special care as to the minute details of the composer's printed instructions on articulation). Beyond that, quite beautiful playing!
