Philip Traugott, originally a professional violinist and conductor, turned his musical career towards the recording industry in 1989, when he became Senior Producer at BMG Classics. During his 11 years there he recorded under the Red Seal, Conifer, ECM, and Catalyst labels and added BMG France, BMG Japan, CBC Records (Canada) and Phono Suecia (Sweden) to his roster of world-wide labels. His wide range of recordings includes classical music in every genre, with symphonies, concertos, voice and opera, chamber music, and instrumental solos to his credit, and repertoire that encompasses the renaissance, baroque, classical, romantic, modern and contemporary eras, and even some jazz. Among the many internationally renowned artists he has produced are Neeme Järvi, Paavo Järvi, Zubin Mehta, André Previn, Leonard Slatkin, Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, András Schiff, Peter Serkin, Ikuyo Nakamichi, Reneé Fleming, and Marilyn Horne. He has also worked with such leading ensembles as the London Symphony, London Philharmonic, Houston Symphony, Frankfurt Radio Orchestra, English Chamber Orchestra, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, and the Tokyo String Quartet. Mr. Traugott has also produced recordings in many of the major halls and studios worldwide, including Abbey Road Studio 1, Manhattan Center Studios, Henry Wood Hall, Radio France, Skywalker Ranch, the Arsenal in France and Symphony Hall in Boston. In the film and television arena, he arranged and produced the soundtrack for renowned director Sidney Lumet's film "Critical Care," excerpts for a Beethoven Biography for the cable channel A&E with the EOS Orchestra, and a 6-part classical music education series called "Whole Notes" for Bravo. For CBC-TV, he was audio producer for the live Canadian national broadcast of an inaugural gala concert of Pinchas Zukerman, with soloist Yefim Bronfman and the NACO, and also music producer of a Ben Heppner television special. Mr. Traugott produced the music for a film of Britten's "Owen Wingrave" for Channel 4 in the UK, its first production since the composer's original version in 1970, and was invited to participate as judge and panelist in the British hit TV program "Operatunity." Most recently he produced the music for DVD and CD of Beethoven's Piano Concerti # 3 & 5.
