Welcome to the website of the Hungarian Studio Orchestra!

The musicians at the Hungarian Studio Orchestra have been playing together in several different musical performances for over 15 years. The orchestra is mainly specialised in studio recordings. We provide quality and well-managed orchestral performances and studio sessions that meet the highest standards. We had the chance to work with recognised musicians, among others include, Ennio Morricone, Michel Legrand, Michael Price, Patrick Doyle, Richard Harvey, David Buckley, Sheridan Tongue, Bill Connor, Graham Preskett, Mark Kilian, Nick Wollage, Michael Richard Plowman and Kornél Fekete-Kovács. As well as classical music we also accommodate requests for jazz, commercial music and crossovers from full-scale symphonic orchestras to smaller chamber ensembles. Our team is very experienced and should you not be able to attend, you can direct your session from anywhere using our remote facilities.

Please ask for details and try our services.

"Not only did the musicians play beautifully and articulately - they also seemed genuinely excited to be in the room. That counts for a lot with me. They have the talent and desire to make your compositions come alive."

Jack Wall
"It's a pleasure musically and personally to work with the Hungarian Studio Orch..... The musos are enthusiastic, intuitive sight readers and quick to respond to all and any requests, most importantly excellent and fully committed engineer and support staff. Highly recommended to any organisation wishing to record in Budapest.... Best wishes!"

Bill Connor
"Working with HSO in Budapest is an absolute pleasure. The players and production staff enthuse about your music to get the best results on the day. Can't wait to work with them again. See you soon!!"

Benson Taylor
"Excellent results from our string sessions here. When taking projects to Central or Eastern Europe, Budapest and the Hungarian Studio Orchestra should be at the top of the list!"

Robert Leslie Bennett
"Working with the orchestra is a real pleasure. I really get the sense that the musicians are striving for musical perfection. From jazz through to film styles, I am yet to find a genre that they can't tackle!"

Paul Reeves
"This is my third project here, called Sir Billi the Vet. I also recorded the score for ‘Main Street’ and an album of my own called Americana, which featured the wonderful leader of the orchestra Balazs Bujtor. The orchestra is absolutely outstanding, the studio facilities are fabulous, so comfortable, so welcoming.

I recommend it to anybody."

Patrick Doyle
"My experience with the HSO in Budapest was amazing. The players were expert and were able to play the music exactly the way I was hearing it in my head. I'm very much looking forward to my next trip out there!"
