Recording
24, 25 and 26 March 2003 in Studio 1 - Flagey - Brussels
by Yannick Willox, Acoustic Recording Service b.v.b.a.

Studio 1 - Flagey - Brussels
First recording in Studio 1 (March, 2003), after restoration of 'the sound factory' Flagey, the former building of the National Institute for Radio Broadcasting built by architect Joseph Diongre in 1935-1938 re-opened its doors on October 1, 2002 after a meticulous renovation. Known worldwide for its architecture and the superb acoustics of its studios, Flagey has set the scene for a captivating programme: jazz, world, classical and contemporary music as well as film and video presentations.
The new Flagey is the result of a unique partnership of almost 40 private companies and the public authorities. Together they have created one of the most important initiatives of the last 50 years to save an endangered architectural heritage. They have restored it to its original splendour and, at the same time, adapted it to 21st century requirements. www.flagey.be
