TESTIMONIALS
“I've worked with Charlie for many years on a wide range of film and television productions. He's always been the ultimate professional, adding immeasurable value to my recording sessions. His performance skills and technique are undoubtedly world class - but just as important is his engaging personality; a natural warmth which makes him such a special musician.
One of the most memorable recordings on which Charlie featured was the score for the BBC adaptation of "Wolf Hall". He was asked to perform solos with a Tudor feel, and he delivered a unique and powerful sound that the director, Peter Kosminsky, absolutely loved. Charlie is so versatile - you can ask him to play in any style...classical, folk, even Tudor! He infuses every style of playing with his own special quality, and I love working with him as I know there will always be 100% commitment and stunning playing – always accompanied by the warmest and friendliest smile.”

“Charlie Brown has played violin on many albums for me over the years. He is extremely versatile, being equally at home with Celtic, American and Eastern European folk styles as he is with conventional pop and Classical sessions. His reading is fast and accurate, his improvisation is great, and his attention to detail ensures tuning, timing and dynamics are always spot on. Charlie's tone is full and forward and he plays with commitment and conviction - he knows how to make the violins sound good on your record. His recording equipment is top notch and he is a joy to work with. I can't recommend Charlie highly enough. ”

“Charlie has played on so many of my scores, I’ve lost count. I actively seek him out, as not only is he an incredible and highly versatile player who is brilliant at interpreting what I’m after, but he has a natural warmth and positive nature with a good dose of humour thrown in, which makes for a more relaxed and enjoyable recording experience. When lockdown happened he was able to continue recording from his home studio delivering high quality tracks, which saved my bacon!”

A violinist with real passion, flair and fine attention to detail, coupled with an equal dedication to technical recording excellence, he’s now often requested personally by returning clients delighted with his previous work. Highly recommended.”
