The Sound Recording House of Ukrainian Radio: A European Landmark

For projects requiring symphonic grandeur and cinematic depth, Maksym Hladetskyy utilizes the legendary Sound Recording House of Ukrainian Radio in Kyiv. This world-class facility is one of the five largest recording complexes in Eastern Europe, rivaling the scale and acoustic prestige of the finest studios in London and Berlin.

 

Acoustic Excellence on a Grand Scale

 

The heart of the complex is the Grand Concert Studio (Studio1).

With a staggering volume of nearly 10,000 cubic meters, it is specifically engineered to capture the natural resonance of large-scale ensembles. Its unique acoustic parameters make it the premier choice for:

  • Full Symphony Orchestras & Choral Works

  • Cinematic Film Scores

  • Large-ensemble Jazz Recordings

Where History Meets Modern Production

Since its completion in 1972, this studio has been the birthplace of Ukraine’s musical “Gold Fund,” documenting the work of legends like Volodymyr Ivasyuk and the National Symphony Orchestra. Today, it serves as the home base for the Ukrainian Radio Symphony Orchestra, where Maksym operates as a Score Recording and Mixing Engineer.

Bridging the Gap

Recording in a space of this magnitude requires a specialized technical approach. Maksym combines the studio’s historic acoustic warmth with modern high-fidelity digital production techniques. Whether capturing a 100-piece orchestra for a film soundtrack or the complex arrangements of projects like Jamala’s QIRIM, Maksym ensures that the immense power of the room is translated into a clear, immersive, and professional mix.
