Recording project development, label placement, and EPK video production

Anna Tsybuleva & DSO Berlin: Brahms

In January 2020, Knight Classical managed the delivery of a major international recording project for pianist Anna Tsybuleva, released worldwide on Signum Classics. The project centred around Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2, the work with which Anna won the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2015.

From concept to delivery

As Anna’s management, Knight Classical oversaw the project end-to-end, acting as the central coordinating body across all artistic, financial, and organisational elements. This included selecting and engaging the DSO Berlin and conductor Ruth Reinhardt, constructing and managing the project budget, aligning multiple stakeholders, and guiding the recording process through to release.

Video production

Alongside the recording, we also filmed the sessions, creating a suite of audio-visual materials to support the album’s launch. This included performance footage and a dedicated promotional film (EPK) developed for the label in advance of the 2021 release.

Patronage partnership

The project was realised with the support of a private institutional patron, enabling the recording and associated film content to be delivered at a consistently high artistic and technical standard.

Integration with Artist Management

This project exemplifies Knight Classical’s integrated approach to artist management, uniting artistic strategy with long-term career development goals.
