We’re excited to partner with DR to showcase Denmark’s own tales of love, loss, sad and happy things, through very personal recordings and emotional reactions. DR’s state-of-the-art studios, symphony orchestra, concert hall and choirs will allow us to bring these performances to life in an incredible way.” FremantleMedia hold the global format rights for The Recording Studio and will launch it at MIPCOM 2017.
