BIS
Founded in 1973, BIS Records belongs to the most highly respected classical labels in the world, praised for the sound quality of its recordings – whether released on regular CDs or as Hybrid SACDs with optional surround sound – and for the versatility and variety of its catalogue, which to date includes more than 1700 titles.
BIS is the only large record label to keep all its recordings constantly available – with repertoire ranging from the most contemporary to music of the Middle Ages, and from mainstream classical (the Three Bs ...) to the downright esoteri. Commited to undertake – and complete! – projects of daunting complexity – such as the Sibelius Edition with its 68 discs documenting every note the Finnish master ever wrote, and the soon-to-be concluded 55-disc series of Bach's sacred cantatas, recorded in a chapel in Kobe, Japan, by the Bach Collegium Japan and Masaaki Suzuki – also shows BIS being a truly international label.
With its headquarters in Sweden, BIS makes recordings all over the world, including Singapore, Sydney, São Paulo, Minneapolis, Rotterdam, Cologne, Vienna ... and a certain medieval church 80km north of Stockholm, loved by musicians such as Dame Emma Kirkby, Ronald Brautigam and New York Polyphony.
