    Fine Sound Productions has had a busy spring.  In late March, we traveled to Prague to record the legendary Korea soprano Sumi Jo in a program ranging from Andrew Lloyd Webber to Bellini in celebration of the 25th anniversary of her debut this September.  The Prague Philharmnonia under Ondrej Lenard accompanied Sumi in the Rudolfinum.  Michael Fine produced with Jin Choi, engineer.  Michael also finished mixing the Faure Complete Chamber Music Project  with Wolf-Dieter Karwatky– five CDs for EMI to be released later this year.  The second edit of Julius Kim's recording of the Rachmaninoff ‘5th Concerto’ and Shostakovitch 2nd Piano Concert has just been finished as well.
