Our Story
BASIC PRINCIPLE
Since its founding in 2013, Meloclassic has been devoted to preserving and sharing extraordinary moments in classical music history. Specializing in previously unreleased live radio broadcasts and archival performances of rare artistic importance, the label brings listeners closer to the authentic spirit of great musicianship. Each recording is carefully selected not for studio perfection, but for the emotional depth, interpretive brilliance, and historical value it captures — often featuring overlooked virtuosos, legendary artists in unrecorded repertoire, or performances that reveal artists at their creative peak. By presenting these live recordings as completely and faithfully as possible, Meloclassic invites audiences to experience the immediacy, atmosphere, and artistry of the original concert hall.
CATALOGUE
Today, Meloclassic maintains an active catalog of approximately 150 releases, with around ten carefully curated new titles added each year. Every CD is professionally manufactured as a replicated disc in full accordance with the Red Book Standard for Compact Disc Digital Audio, ensuring a level of durability, reliability, and sound quality far superior to standard CD-R productions. Complementing each release are extensively researched English-language booklet notes, featuring richly detailed artist biographies and historical insights that have earned widespread acclaim from leading critics and collectors alike. Through its dedication to scholarship, authenticity, and musical excellence, Meloclassic has gained international recognition and has been honored with several prestigious awards worldwide.
REMASTERING
Meloclassic releases are internationally recognized for their exceptional audio quality and meticulous restoration standards. Using advanced post-production techniques, we strive to achieve the finest possible listening experience while preserving the authentic tonal character and historical integrity of each performance. Every recording is transferred exclusively from original broadcast tapes or original 78rpm metal parts sourced directly from radio archives, ensuring a level of fidelity, depth, and clarity that cannot be replicated from off-air private recordings. This unwavering commitment to authenticity allows Meloclassic to present historical performances with remarkable presence and realism, bringing listeners closer than ever to the artistry of the original moment.
COLLABORATION
Over the years, Meloclassic has worked closely with the estates of many distinguished artists to preserve and release previously unheard radio archival recordings of great historical and artistic value. These collaborations have brought to light remarkable performances by legendary pianists including Jacqueline Eymar, Rudolf Firkušný, Monique de la Bruchollerie, Alexander Uninsky, Walter Gieseking, Samson François, Julius Katchen, and many others whose artistry deserves renewed recognition. The label has likewise unveiled rare performances by celebrated violinists such as Henryk Szeryng, Roman Totenberg, and Erick Friedman, as well as renowned cellists including Maurice Gendron and Tibor de Machula. Through these partnerships, Meloclassic continues its mission of safeguarding important musical legacies and sharing extraordinary performances that might otherwise have remained unheard.
