" Naxos’s sound, engineered by Michael Whight, is beautifully balanced and the best these works have enjoyed."

I have engineered releases for Naxos, Toccata Classics, Somm Recordings and also many independent releases. These have included recordings of solo instruments, chamber music for strings and wind instruments, percussion ensembles and voice.
My experience as a classical clarinettist, having held principal positions with the Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Northern Sinfonia give me a unique performer's perspective. I have performed on hundreds of recordings myself and have spent many hours in recording studios, alongside world-leading recording teams and musicians, listening to and analysing performances in order to create the best recording possible. This experience has enabled a deep and thorough understanding of what is needed to create a great recording and has given me the knowledge to do what is required on the 'other side' of the microphone.
My equipment allows recordings from solo instrument right up to full orchestra.
If you have an idea for a project that you would like to discuss, big or small, or any questions, then please contact me via the contacts page or by phone. I am always happy to give advice.
