Orfeo
Founded in Munich in 1979, Orfeo has achieved its current international standing thanks to the consistency of its policy towards repertoire and artists. Orfeo has always focused on releasing first-rate recordings of famous as well as lesser-known and neglected works by leading composers in addition to individual masterpieces by composers who are less well known. Their aim is to ensure the fascination that classical music can exert transcends generations and remains a living force, while remaining true to traditional, classical values even when offering listeners surprises.
