Hello
I was wondering what prompted the recording to take place at the Royal concert hall, rather than Henry wood hall where for example you recorded the golden age?


The Ring was the Orchestra's first recording on the Chandos label in many years (and won't be the last!) and Chandos prefer using the GRCH (who partnered in making the recording possible). And yes, if you haven't already listened to the CD, you really must (SACD too) as it sounds incredible. The Golden Age was a Naxos recording and they prefer the Henry Wood Hall for their award winning RSNO discs.

Also, on a very practical note, the size of band used for the Ring recording is too big for the Henry Wood Hall... so it had to be the GRCH!
