Orchestral recordings at Abbey Road Studio

The radio commercials of the Zurich joinery service Schreiner48 have been delighting listeners for years. Now a new series has been recorded with an orchestra in the historic Abbey Road Studio in London.

Countless hits in music history - from the Beatles to Pink Floyd and Lady Gaga - and countless film scores were created at Abbey Road. For once, however, the legendary studio was not recording for a blockbuster like “Star Wars”, but an entire orchestra set about recording various themes for the new radio commercial series for the Swiss carpentry service Schreiner48.

The idea came about because Markus Walser from Schreiner48 had commissioned us to create a new recording of the legendary Mariachi Schreiner48 radio spot. But as it is difficult to find a good mariachi band in Switzerland, Bobby Gertsch and the award-winning composer Moritz Schneider suggested recording the song with top orchestral musicians at Abbey Road Studio in London. nice-noise company owner Bobby Gertsch says: “The best musicians for orchestral recordings can be found in Los Angeles or London, where most of the soundtracks for Hollywood blockbusters are recorded.”

In the Abbey Road Studio, four different subjects were added to the well-known Schreiner song with the words of Udo Jürgens' songwriter Wolfgang Hofer. In addition to the mariachi theme, the spot is also available in the form of an Italian operetta, a French musette and a Scottish bagpipe fanfare.

Thanks to the parodic approach, the new series of spots makes listeners smile and reinforces the familiar, entertaining character of the Schreiner48 spots.
