Classical Recording: A Practical Guide in the Decca Tradition de Caroline Haigh

Classical Recording: A Practical Guide in the Decca Tradition: Audio Engineering Society Presents

Autor Caroline Haigh, John Dunkerley, Mark Rogers
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 ian 2026

În ecosistemul ingineriei audio dedicate muzicii acustice, Classical Recording reprezintă standardul tehnic pentru captarea ansamblurilor orchestrale și camerale. Subliniem faptul că acest volum nu se rezumă la teorie, ci documentează riguros „tradiția Decca”, oferind diagrame precise pentru celebra configurație The Decca Tree și variațiile sale. Considerăm că forța acestui ghid stă în cele 524 de ilustrații care transformă conceptele abstracte de propagare a sunetului în soluții logistice pentru înregistrări pe locație, acolo unde acustica spațiului nu poate fi controlată ca într-un studio dedicat.

Structura volumului urmărește progresia logică a unui proiect profesional. Prima parte analizează acustica locației și tehnica de studio, partea a doua detaliază tehnici specifice pentru instrumente solo, pian, cor și orchestră, în timp ce partea finală se concentrează pe mixaj, editare și mastering. Apreciem în mod deosebit noile capitole din această ediție a doua, care abordează provocările moderne ale overdubbing-ului în muzica clasică și integrarea fluxului de lucru audio cu cerințele producției video.

Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din Recording Orchestra and Other Classical Music Ensembles de Richard King va găsi aici o completare esențială prin prisma metodologiilor britanice consacrate. În timp ce King se concentrează pe orchestra ca sursă sonoră unitară, Caroline Haigh, John Dunkerley și Mark Rogers oferă o perspectivă granulară asupra gestionării sesiunilor complexe, de la operă la ansambluri de suflători. Diferența majoră rezidă în accentul pus pe fluxul de lucru „Decca”, o metodologie care a definit sunetul muzicii clasice în ultimele decenii.

Recenzii

‘This book has become an indispensable teaching tool for the Tonmeister undergraduate degree course. Since making it a reference text there has been a significant improvement in the standard and consistency of the students’ recordings. This has been coupled with a noticeable lift in student confidence when recording their first sessions, and the robust techniques covered have also had an impact beyond the classical field.’
Rupert Flindt, University of Surrey, UK
‘I cannot imagine a more comprehensively written book about the principles and practicalities of the Decca approach to recorded sound. It is packed with useful facts. The book is essential reading not only for students but also anyone with a true interest in the art and science of recording music is such a way that it connects with the listener. This book will remain relevant for decades to come.’
Simon Eadon, Abbas Records – on the First Edition
‘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. My aim when recording and mixing is to aim for a specific sound which I hear inside; a specific identity and character which works hand-in-hand with the music. This book is the springboard to help anyone achieve that goal.’
Jonathan Allen – on the First Edition
‘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.’
Peter Cobbin and Kirsty Whalley, Such Sweet Thunder – on the First Edition
‘This is just the sort of book I wished I'd owned when I was starting out 30 years ago!’
Simon Rhodes, Senior Engineer, Abbey Road Studios – on the First Edition

Descriere scurtă

Classical Recording: A Practical Guide in the Decca Tradition is the authoritative guide to all aspects of recording acoustic classical music, providing detailed descriptions, diagrams, and photographs of fundamental recording techniques such as the Decca Tree, post-production workflow, and the practicalities of working on location.
This updated and revised second edition has expanded sections on critical listening and microphone placement troubleshooting, as well as two new chapters on overdubbing and the audiovisual considerations of filming a classical music performance. The book gives practical advice on the other essential skills involved in successfully producing a classical recording, including: the practicalities of running a recording session on location, the skills needed as producer, working in imperfect surroundings, using artificial reverberation alongside the real thing, dealing with overdubs, working with sound and picture, workflow from session to edit suite, and creating a seamless edited master.
Written by engineers with years of experience working for Decca and Abbey Road Studios and as freelancers, Classical Recording equips the student, the interested amateur, and the practising professional with the required knowledge and confidence to tackle everything from a solo piano to opera.

Notă biografică

Caroline Haigh grew up with equal love for music, maths and physics, and combined study of them all on the Tonmeister course at the University of Surrey. She began her career in classical post-production working for Decca during her final year at University, and stayed there for several years before moving to Abbey Road Studios (EMI) in 1996. At both Decca and EMI she gained experience with countless major classical artists and became a sought after and skilful editor, working on several Grammy award winning albums, including ‘Les Troyens’ (Decca - OSM/Dutoit) Best Opera 1995. Having enjoyed giving guest seminars at the University of Surrey during her time at Abbey Road, Caroline was recruited to teach on the Tonmeister course on a permanent basis from 2009–2021 when she taught recording techniques, production/post-production skills and electro-acoustics. She recently rejoined the university as a senior lecturer, and combines her teaching role with freelance work.
John Dunkerley is one of the world’s most highly respected and emulated classical recording engineers. Throughout a long career at Decca and then as a freelancer, his recordings have been renowned for their ravishingly beautiful sound and attention to detail. He has worked with almost all the major artists of the last 40 years, has made over a thousand CDs, and his recordings have earned over 15 Grammy awards. John is one of the last engineers alive to have learnt his craft from the great Kenneth Wilkinson, the inventor of many of the techniques that underpin the classical recording art. John teaches workshops at the University of Surrey, at the Banff Centre, and at the Abbey Road Institute.
Mark Rogers studied on the Tonmeister course at the University of Surrey. He began his career working with John Dunkerley at Decca, and then spent nine years around the corner at EMI’s Abbey Road Studios, where he was the chief technical engineer for Studio One, famous for its orchestral and film score recordings. Here he worked with hundreds of different producers and engineers and gained a unique insight into the huge variety of techniques used in classical recording. In 2000 he moved to a management role at Warner Music, and after four years left to become a freelance recording producer, engineer and musician. Since then he has worked for a wide variety of clients, including the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and back where he started at Decca, and his recordings have won many accolades, including a Grammy award in 2009. Mark is an associate lecturer at the University of Surrey.
