Established in 1987, The Classical Recording Company is one of the UK’s top facilities for the recording and post-production of classical music and related projects. From the outset, the company has tried to achieve a balance between the purist recording techniques, much loved by many in classical music, and the realities of making high quality live and session recordings on location around the world. Their clients range from major international record labels to individuals planning their first recording, and they are equipped to handle even the most complex recordings.
