ADRIAN PEACOCK AUDIO PRODUCER
Adrian Peacock, probably the best-known producer of choral music in the industry. Gramophone
...razor sharp hearing and unflappable, good humoured session management. Invaluable... Stephen Layton
Adrian is a singer's best friend in production work. He has a great feel for sound and the skill to bring the best out of musicians.
He's my first choice every time. Bob Chilcott
Adrian has very fine ears and shows great efficiency in sessions - I'm delighted to recommend him. His long experience as a perfomer means he understands the music from the inside, and the motivation required to encourage artists to work at their highest level. Paul McCreesh

“… after a century gathering dust, it [Parry’s Judith] enjoys a superlative premiere recording by the London Mozart Players, vigorously conducted by William Vann, with committed singing from the Crouch End Festival Chorus and a fine line up of soloists …” BBC Music Magazine

*** 2020 GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE AWARD NOMINEE***
Kate Lindsey explores here her other repertoire of choice, the music of the eighteenth century. In partnership with Jonathan Cohen and Arcangelo, she has recorded three cantatas focusing on the myth of Ariadne.
"The playing of Arcangelo under Jonathan Cohen is typically high-quality, and often heartbreakingly attendant to the drama. This is a lovely programme, expertly performed and full of touching feeling and imagination." Gramophone

Hyperion Records| Release date January 2019 | Digital booklet
