The majority of Mafia: Definitive Edition's score was recorded in the summer of 2019 in Nashville and Prague. "It was really important for the team that we record part of the score in Prague, where the original game's score was recorded," says Harlin. "The way that we split it up is, strings were done in Prague, and percussion, woodwinds, and brass were all recorded in Nashville." These tracks were then mixed into the original score that's layered atop gameplay and cutscenes alike.

But the last piece to be recorded was of the utmost importance: the music for the opening cinematic, which perfectly recreates the iconic opening song authored by Vladimír Šimůnek, the composer for the original Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. "We wanted to include it again for Mafia fans who really love that piece of music, but give it a fresh coat of paint, and a new performance," says Bauer. The planned recording in the Czech Republic was set for March 2020, right when the COVID-19 pandemic started as the virus spread globally and lockdowns went into effect around the world. With new social distancing rules in place, recording with the full orchestra together simply wasn't possible.

"I reached out to the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra and made an unconventional request: could we try spacing people out around the concert hall and recording only a few at a time?" recalls Bauer. By bringing in smaller groups of musicians and carefully tracking where they sat in the studio, the team painstakingly recorded each element of the song so that they could later be reassembled like a musical jigsaw puzzle into what sounded like a complete orchestra. "The recording session ordinarily would've taken half a day but got stretched out to three days by recording in this way," says Bauer. "Once completed we had over 200 microphone tracks to mix. It was one of those experiments that had equal potential for the results to be incredible, or disastrous, but we confidently gave it a try. The Brno Philharmonic did an incredible job and we worked really hard on the mix to help them sound as good as possible."
