Biography

Caroline graduated from the Tonmeister course in 1990 (winning the Jaques Levy memorial prize for her final year research project in bassoon acoustics), and went to work as a digital editor at the Decca Record Company at the recording centre in Kilburn. Here she worked on projects from solo guitar to large scale opera with internationally acclaimed artists such as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Radu Lupu, Kiri te Kanawa, Sir Georg Solti (Vienna Philharmonic), Charles Dutoit (and the Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal), Christopher Hogwood (Academy of Ancient Music), Philip Pickett and Riccardo Chailly (Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra). She was also involved in analogue-to-digital remastering of Decca's extensive back catalogue, including several of Britten's operas conducted by the composer himself.

In 1996, she moved around the corner to rivals EMI when she took up a post as classical editor at Abbey Road Studios. Here she continued to work with more of the best-loved classical artists including Sir Simon Rattle (with the CBSO and the Berlin Philharmonic), Martha Argerich, Kings College Choir, Sabine Meyer Octet (Berlin Philharmonic wind players) and the contemporary composer Thomas Ades. She completed many opera projects with conductor Tony Pappano (orchestra of the Royal Opera House), Angela Gheorghiu, Roberto Alagna and Placido Domingo. She worked on several film soundtrack albums including 'Star Wars' and 'Back to Titanic' and acted as post-production producer for a large part of Stephen Kovacevich's complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas project over several years.
