Berlioz receives BBC Music Magazine Award for Technical Excellence

 

The winners of the 2012 BBC Music Magazine Awards were revealed last week and we are thrilled to announce that the recording of Berlioz’s Grande Messe des Morts, recorded in Wroclaw, Poland in 2010 has been awarded for Technical Excellence.

 

Paul McCreesh:
“As Berlioz said, the building is the instrument and engineer Neil Hutchinson and producer Nick Parker got an amazing sound from a difficult piece… We spent a lot of time reblending and balancing afterwards, trying to capture the totality.”
