Abbey Road Studios in London

The street actually look like this!

We are on our way back to The Abbey Road Studios in London, where the Beatles made all their famous recordings. All the Maestro Classics' CDs are recorded there in the big Studio No. 1. The first time I went to the studio, I was really surprised (and delighted) to find the crosswalk still there, just as it is in the photo on the Beatles Abbey Road vinyl album.

New Maestro Classics' Stories in Music CDs are on their way! It is a long road from this moment until the final CD wrapped in shrink wrap ends up in our offices, but the process has begun. The first draft budget, repertoire list, hiring of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, reserving the Abbey Road Studio big studio, and hiring the engineers has begun. Three new works will get the Maestro Classics Stephen Simon's conductor touch, and I will start writing scripts and finding children's book illustrators whose work reflects the quality of the music.

2012 will be a busy year!

The titles of the new CDs???

 Try to guess! Hint: one of them has been requested many, many times by everyone who loves The Story of Swan Lake.
