Présentation de l'éditeur

When you play a recording, have you ever paused to think about what went into making of it? Rest assured: there is more here than meets the eye and ear. This book takes an irreverent behind-the-scenes look at the classical record business. The author draws on three decades in recording and broadcasting to tell the story of his own and other classical record labels. This amusing and informative memoir covers recording and editing techniques, and how albums are planned, made and marketed. So are broadcast programming, press reviews and awards in short, every facet of this fascinating industry. The pages of Note-Perfect are populated by musical legends like Yehudi Menuhin, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Nicolas Slonimsky, Ernst Krenek and hundreds of other artists and composers. You will even meet unlikely personalities such as David Ben-Gurion and Arnold Toynbee, captured in sound for posterity.
