Behind Barres Music CD Series


Expertly-played Classical Music - Perfect for Ballet Instruction


The Behind Barres CD series is recorded at Solid Sound, Inc. in Ann Arbor, Michigan by Rob Martens. We use only one microphone (a Stephen Paul modified-AKG C-24 stereo tube) with their Yamaha C-7 piano, and no EQ or signal processing. Their idea is to create CDs that sound just like having Paul Lewis in the dance studio with you. All of the magic is provided by Paul Lewis with Judy Rice!
