Budapest Scoring combines centuries of musical heritage with modern state-of-the-art analogue and digital recording equipment. In the 1980s, film studios began looking to locations outside of the United States and the United Kingdom to record the highest quality film music within their shrinking budgets and turned to Budapest. Becoming the first and one of the best-loved destinations for film scoring sessions, Budapest has hosted Jerry Goldsmith, Michel Legrand, Alan Menken, Ennio Morricone and others who flew to Hungary to record music for movies such as Rambo, A Christmas Carol, Lionheart, Extreme Prejudice and Rent-a-Cop.
The orchestral players hail from the most prestigious Hungarian symphonic orchestras, and are trained in modern as well as classical techniques. The heart of the Budapest Scoring Symphonic Orchestra features members of Concerto Budapest, with over 100 years of history.
