Jan 3rd to 19th 2017
75 piece RPO led by Duncan Riddell - my view in Abbey Road Studio 1
The culmination of many months of sorting, editing, writing, arranging and finally conducting a truly world class orchestra - The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - playing all this Azeri music for Baku 2017 Opening Ceremony which will happen on May 12th 2017 in the Olympic Stadium in Baku.
A world class engineer is a must on a project like this and Steve Price is simply the best and the safest pair of hands!
Along with Steve to have Jen Green as my Lead Orchestrator has been a joy. We've worked together on many big events and her attention to detail and general demeanour is just brilliant!
The WHOLE Music Recording Team!
