from the summit website:

"'Of the recorded performances I know of the Mozart...I would pick the new Gateway Chamber Ensemble out of the pack, not only for its refined playing, but for finding that elusive balance between the music's high-spirited playfulness and its sensuous soulfulness. Merriment and melancholy mix in matched measure in Mozart's masterpiece...For wind playing par excellence, this release receives the strongest recommendation.' -Fanfare

The new and exciting Gateway Chamber Ensemble is joined by the Grammy-winning team from Soundmirror for two exemplary performances of milestone chamber works penned 100 years apart, including some of Mozart’s most mature and famous craftsmanship. Enjoy the virtuosic playing and incredible recorded sound quality of these majestic Wind Serenades".

it would seem that this is multi-channel.

It is in fact a surround and a stereo recording, produced in DSD.
I haven't checked with Summit but I think it's either been officially released or will be soon. I'm not impartial, having produced it, but I think it's great playing.

Cannot agree at all with the negative review of these performances. Overly tidy and undercharacterized? I do not discern that. Perhaps the reviewer is attempting to overcome the British instinct for understatement.
