about

The global COVID-19 pandemic has affected musicians around the world as concert venues remain closed and severe restrictions are in place. Many of us face new challenges and hardship while we try to keep working and continue our passion in music, and thousands of us artists from all sectors of the performing arts are fearful for our future.

While some performing groups are already back on stage, many face the complex challenge of performing in a socially-distanced set-up and venue, and others are not able to resume due to the restrictions in place. Several orchestras around the world have also gone digital, either broadcasting live or publishing concerts from their archive. As a young conductor, I record some of my performances when possible to use in auditions and competition applications, and decided to publish a recording of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony from my personal archive as part of the Beethoven250 celebrations around the world.

Recorded live at the North Ossetian Philharmonic with the North Ossetian-Alania Symphony Orchestra (now known as the Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre North Ossetia-Alania), it was done entirely in a single take on an iPhone X, recorded quite far back in the concert hall, and there were no fancy equipment, re-recording, nor patching of recording errors. It might probably the first classical orchestral recording release to be done entirely on an iPhone and while it might not be professionally recorded, I hope listeners would embrace the wabi-sabi aesthetics and the imperfections in this mix.
