Rezensionen

'I cannot imagine a more comprehensively written book about the principles and practicalities of the Decca approach to recorded sound (...) The book is essential reading not only for students but also anyone with a true interest in the art and science of recording music in such a way that it connects with the listener. This book will remain relevant for decades to come.' - Simon Eadon, Abbas Records

'This book distils the thoughts and techniques from the pioneers of the business into a definitive reference book for anyone who works in recording or has a passion for recorded music. Wherever you use a microphone, from drum kits to Mahler's 8th symphony, from bathrooms to concert halls, you'll discover a wealth of techniques and set ups to help deliver the best musical experience from the kit you have.' - Jonathan Allen

'The authorship(s) from three Decca experts draw on their impressive and vast experience to illuminate one of the greatest traditions of classical recording.This book will become the necessary reference for any engineer or producer wishing to gain an understanding of the timeless techniques that can be employed in any modern recording.'
