Mason’s new album Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra released on Sony Classical in April 2022, has been awarded a Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Classical.
Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra is a captivating introduction to the instruments, sounds and science of the orchestra with a masterful score and classy, creative animation. The album was performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and conducted Edwin Outwater.
“I’m very thankful to Shawn Murphy, Gary Rydstrom, Charlie Post, Michael Romanowski, whose work resulted in a Grammy for Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra. Their superb work recording, mixing, & mastering this celebration of the orchestra – at the height of covid – is evident in every minute of the album. The stunning isolation of the instruments required by distancing protocols actually gave us unprecedented control in the studio. Bravi!” – Mason Bates
