Thom Gould and the Beethoven Violin Concerto
Riga looks lovely, shame I didn't have the time to see any of it!
But then the reward was in the live concert that Thom Gould and Sinfonietta Riga were giving and that we were recording. A very moving rendition of the Beethoven Violin Concerto and the Lark Ascending.
The CD will be available soon on the exciting new label called Edition Records. Watch this space!
Winter's Tale
Winter's Tale is a gripping story about jealousy.
This new adaptation of the Shakespeare play for the ballet by Christopher Wheeldon is compelling and the exceptional cast brings to life the whole array of powerful emotions that the story unleashes. Lauren Cuthbertson, Edward Watson, Sarah Lamb and Steven McRae are at the top of their game and a joy to watch.
The new score by Joby Talbot is powerful and provides a wide rang of colours which we endeavoured to translate to the big screen during the live to cinemas evening. A good sign: Joby saw it in the cinema and loved it!
Monteverdi Vespers 1610
Big day yesterday recording another Sacred Music programme about Monteverdi Vespers. The usual crew with Harry Christophers and The Sixteen, and Simon Russell Beale looking very regal in his King Lear beard.
Malcom Martineau and Robin Tritschler
Got a lot done at Robin’s recording! Some very beautiful songs, never recorded before, related to WW1. I hope the CD will help to get the project touring everywhere. There is much to discover!
Giselle by the Royal Ballet
What an exciting performance by the Royal Ballet of Giselle.
Natalia Osipova carried such emotion while mastering the laws of anti-gravity. Carlos Acosta was superb and the live relay to cinemas was a success! Thanks to Mark at the mixing desk.
Loved every moments of it.
Aurora Orchestra
I’m really excited to be preparing for a recording of the Aurora Orchestra next month. True to Aurora’s spirit, this is going to be a concept album about American music with a mix of well established classical composers and some music by leading singers-songwriters. A challenging recording!
The Messiah in Boston
Off to Boston to record the Handel & Haydn Society performing the Messiah during the Thanksgiving season. Three live concerts conducted by Harry Christophers. Harry has conducted the Messiah so many times, he could probably do it backwards, eyes closed.
Turandot at the Royal Opera House
It is nice to be back at the Royal Opera House with the first opera of the Season: Turandot.
Excellent set design and Eri Nakamura gave a superlative performance of Liu under the batton of Henrik Nanasi.
Gloriana Post
The post production of Gloriana went very well indeed.
It was great to work with Mark on the mix. We started with our template we used for the live to cinema and fined tuned it, before automating the microphones of the singers. Really pleased with the result!
The DVD should hopefully be out in November.
Producing Gloriana at the Royal Opera House
Britten's Gloriana wasn't well received back in 1953 when this newly composed opera was premiered in honour of the coronation of Queen Elisabeth II.
60 years later the new production of Richard Jones will bring a new light and, I'm sure, the success it deserves.
The idea of the set being a village hall in 1953, with it's own stage and wings, works extremely well for what is a complicated score and arguably not Britten's best opera. All the scene changes are seen as if through a transparent curtain and the staff in the wings never distract from the crucial moments in the opera.
The singing is superb with Susan Bullock as Queen Elisabeth I and Toby Spence as Essex. Paul Daniel conducts an orchestra in top form.
The first filmed night and the radio record went really well. Tonight is the big night with the second filmed evening, transmitted live to cinemas.
Let's go and make it happen! :)
Placido Domingo is Nabucco at the Royal Opera House
The post-production of Nabucco with Placido Domingo in the title role went relatively smoothly. Great performances from Domingo and Monastyrska. Not sure about the set design and the staging though...
Stephen Loges and Giovanni Guzzo
Some great recordings this month, starting with barytone Stephen Loges and pianist Iain Burnside, interpreting the beautiful Schumann song cycle Op.35. Recorded at All Saints, East Finchley by Mike Hatch.
A week later, violinist Giovanni Guzzo was recording at Champs Hill with French pianist Anne Lovett, the violin sonatas by Franck, Poulenc and Fauré. A real treat!
Written on Skin at the Royal Opera House
George Benjamin's new opera Written on Skin, premiered at Aix, came finally to the Royal Opera House and was filmed by the BBC.
A beautiful production directed by Katie Mitchell.
Outstanding music, with powerful moments charged with intense sexual tension. Benjamin's achieves great effects with very little means tapping into medieval music in a very interesting way.
During the mix review, the composer was extremely focused and incredibly precise which helped us tremendously.
Boston with the H&H period orchestra
In Boston again, a month after recording the choir, for a live recording of the period orchestra of the Handel and Haydn Society.
Harry Christophers will be leading this fine orchestra at Symphony Hall in Haydn symphonies 'The Bear' and 'Le Matin'.
Leader extraordinaire Aisslinn Nosky will lead Haydn's Violin Concerto in G major.
With Jin Donahue at the console, we're set for a great recording!
Boston with Harry Christophers
Thanks to Harry, it was a joy to meet the choir of the Handel and Haydn Society.
We recorded together a selection of Christmas Carols, 11 months ahead of Christmas.
Recording engineer James Donahue got something great out of the dry Frazer Hall of the WGBH Studios. I pushed the choir quite hard and they responded very well.
I'd love to do the next one!
Robert Fokkens and the Fidelio Trio
There are times when you're so glad you've done your preparation properly... Well this was a perfect example. Recording Robert Fokkens' music is a challenge in itself but how glad I was to have gone to Cardiff to check the hall of the University a month before the actual recording. The lights in that hall were so noisy that we had no choice but to rent out some lighting equipment for the duration of the recording.
It was an intense three days, but the Fidelio Trio was of such a high standard an Rob's music so gripping that it made each day very enjoyable.
Let's not forget the very beautiful sound of the only quarter tone-bass flute in the country played by Carla Rees and the participation of soprano Patricia Rozario.
And if you don't know Fokkens' music, well it is time to get you hands on this CD.
Julian Lloyd-Webber recording
It was a pleasure to be involved with the producing of Julian's next CD.
A beautiful selection of pieces and arrangement for two celli, with Julian and Jiaxin Cheng accompanied by John Lenehan at the piano.
Mike Hatch did bring his mics and expertise to the Yehudi Menuhin Hall.
