Recording at Abbey Road Studios with the London Symphony Orchestra
Since 2021, composer Paul Lorenz has recorded his orchestral works at Abbey Road Studios in London — the studio of the Beatles and of film scores from Harry Potter to The Lord of the Rings — most often in the legendary Studio One with the London Symphony Orchestra. Good music, the saying goes at Abbey Road, deserves the best setting.

What makes Abbey Road legendary
Few addresses in music carry the weight of Abbey Road. Opened in 1931, it is where the Beatles made most of their catalogue, where Pink Floyd built Dark Side of the Moon, and where generations of film composers have brought their scores to life. What draws musicians back is not nostalgia but sound: a rare combination of acoustically peerless rooms, an unmatched collection of vintage and state-of-the-art equipment, and engineers of the very highest calibre, several of them Grammy winners.
Studio One and the London Symphony Orchestra
Studio One is the largest purpose-built recording room in the world, designed for full symphony orchestra and choir — the room where so much of cinema's music has been captured. Recording there with the London Symphony Orchestra, one of the world's great ensembles, means every line of an arrangement is tested by players of extraordinary experience, in an acoustic that reveals everything. It is the most honest quality control a score can face.
What Paul Lorenz has recorded there
Works recorded and produced at Abbey Road include the Violin Concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Cello Suite, and orchestral productions across film, concert and crossover music. Each session follows the same principle: prepare the material so thoroughly that the orchestra can concentrate entirely on the music. You can listen to the recordings here.
Why it matters for the sheet music you buy
The standard of an Abbey Road session does not stay in the studio. The same engraving discipline, the same idiomatic writing for real players, and the same obsession with clean, rehearsal-ready parts go into every edition Paul Lorenz publishes — from a full orchestra score to an SATB choir arrangement. When you download one of these editions, you are buying music that has been proven by the players who make it, not a notation-software mock-up — see exactly how an arrangement is made.
