RECORDING: IS IT ART OR SCIENCE?

"I have found [Rich] to be an outstanding producer and engineer, achieving wonderful results in a variety of venues. Both his communication with other artists and his sensitivity have always ensured a smooth and highly enjoyable working experience."

Daniel Hope, violinist

To make a recording that will be heard by many and enjoyed for years to come is a worthwhile and challenging task, and the musicians need to know that the recording team is musically astute, technically proficient, and that no detail will be overlooked. In short, that the people chosen to guide and craft the recording are completely supportive and understanding of the musician's efforts, whether classical or jazz.

However, don't be mislead into thinking that lots of great gear assures a great recording any more than owning a fabulous camera will yield the pictures that you see in galleries and magazines. While top quality microphones and the engineering background to use them are essential to a top quality recording, so is a professional background in classical and jazz music. This is the essence of the Sonare experience.
