Historical recordings
A collection focusing on historical singers in rare recordings - mostly in the form of “portrayals”. The singers featured here are the ones who have made opera legendary. Hence the name “Il Mito dell’Opera” - “Legendary Opera”
News from the Past
This series features rarely performed operas, symphonic music and chamber works. Many of these recordings were world première recordings. Hence the title “Novità del Passato” – they are all “News from the Past”.
Registrazioni integrali dell'epoca d'oro
Questa serie comprende le registrazioni complete, esclusivamente dal vivo, di opere del periodo d'oro della lirica. Nota anche con la sigla HOC, l'acronimo di Historical Opera Collection, è la continuazione della serie "Golden Age of Opera".
