OxRecs DIGITAL is a classical location sound recording company based in the UK. OxRecs specialises in recording choral, organ music, and chamber orchestras in their normal playing locations, rather than in purpose-built recording studios.

Artists and organs

The OxRecs catalog features the music and performances of artists such as:

  • The Choir of Caius College, Cambridge directed by Geoffrey Webber
  • The Choir of Durham Cathedral directed by James Lancelot
  • The Choir of Magdalen College, Oxford directed by Bernard Rose
  • Simon Lindley

    • It also features the organs from:

  • Eton College
  • Oxford University notably the Sheldonian Theatre
  • Cambridge University including King's College, Cambridge
  • Chester Cathedral

    • OxRecs is significant for recordings of reproduction Tudor organ and choir. OXCD-101 is of music recorded at St John's College, Cambridge, while OXCD-106 is recorded in Durham Cathedral. These CDs, using organs based on 1520s-30s soundboards and contract documents, offer the closest sound approach yet available for music on the Redford-Tallis-Byrd timeline.
