There’s Sub Pop, Barsuk and now there’s another record label in town: Seattle Symphony Media, the symphony’s new in-house label whose three recordings will be out next month.
“It’s raising the quality and the profile of our orchestra and we’re reaching new audiences,” explained the Symphony’s Executive Director Simon Woods at a recent media preview.
The symphonies in London, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta all have their own labels. “Seattle is a great recording orchestra. And we have a good, an incredible hall that sounds amazing,” added Woods, who worked as a record producer with EMI Classics in London in the early part of his career.
