From 2010 to 2019, I worked with virtuoso pianist Ian Hobson and producer Samir Golescu to release recordings of every piece of Chopin’s piano music. It took the form of a 16-disc set containing on Hobson’s Zephyr record label, and I worked on volumes eight through sixteen.
This project evokes pride and a bit of sadness for me - I inherited it from Jon Schoenoff following his untimely death in 2010. Jon was a mentor to me in classical/acoustic music recording and production. The recordings had all been previously completed on DAT tapes in Warsaw, Poland. I did a few things on this project:
Audio - I transferred the audio to hard disk and edited takes in to complete movements.
Art/text layout - Placed designer David Colley’s cover art, formatted scholar Ates Orga’s liner notes, created and track information, logos, and barcodes. Overall, a lot of work went in to consistency and coherency within each volume and between volumes. This was especially challenging because the discs were released over several years.
