Philipp Nedel
Philipp Nedel is the founder of b-sharp. He studied Tonmeister at the Berlin University of the Arts and at the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Paris. As part of an internationally operating recording team he started an almost 10 yearlong freelancing relationship with Teldec Classics. His long-term involvement with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic was the springboard for relocating to the US, where he took a position as producer/engineer with Soundmirror in Boston in 2000. Almost 5 years later he returned to Berlin with his family.
At b-sharp he divides his time between his function as managing director and as a producer/ engineer with internationally renowned artists and orchestras. The vitalizing mixture of passion and experience, the fine grasp of what makes a recording a great recording coupled with the joy of making it happen, distinguishes him as well as his handpicked team.
Hansjörg Seiler
Hansjörg Seiler has been working freelance for b-sharp since 2005. At Deutschlandradio, he is regularly in charge of classical music productions and live recordings. At b-sharp, we appreciate his good humor and his many years of experience in audio post-production.
Martin Kistner
With his keen perception and lots of creative ideas Martin Kistner supports the b-sharp team ever since he came to us as an intern back in 2008. After receiving his Tonmeister Degree at the Berlin University of the Arts in 2010 he immediately became a full-time staff member. In addition to producing and engineering projects in our studio in Berlin or on location around the globe, he has become an expert editor and is the brain behind our complex re-mastering projects.
In 2017 he received a Grammy Award in the category Best Historical Album for the remastering of the production “Leonard Bernstein – The Composer”.
