To be a streaming-era classical recording artist is tough. A recording should crystallise your interpretation of a work, but you also need it to market yourself and to sell your musicianship and programming ideas to concert promoters, residencies, and festivals - the things that will actually pay you. 

 

You bring your life's work to every performance and every recording. To stand out, you need to say something new about "the classics" of the repertoire and also bring bold programming to both existing and new audiences.

 

A recording that doesn’t capture that convincingly makes the long game even more difficult. It’s frustrating to leave the recording process feeling like you could have done better, or that your intentions were not listened to or understood. All of this leads to a sub-standard recording that you still have to promote. 

​

I believe that bold ideas need strong execution. 

​

My experience in realising the ideas of musicians and composers has led to chart-topping recordings, nominations and awards from the leading international music press, and, importantly, has helped provide artists with a bigger platform to share their vision.
