Nos disques spécialisés, comme la plupart des biens culturels sérieux, disparaissent peu à peu des magasins en libre-service. Sur le site Internet abeillemusique.com, vous les retrouverez tous, documentés, renseignés, et tous disponibles à des conditions très intéressantes, car nous n'avons pas à subir ici le racket des remises et les dépenses qui nous sont occasionnées par les chaînes de magasins soi-disant culturels.

Brana Records.
Brana Records exists to restore and publish rare recordings by neglected artists and recordings of newly discovered masterpieces. We also seek out and support new performers and composers for recording and promotion. Our current focus is the life and work of the Polish / Brazilian pianist Felicja Blumental who overcame prejudice to scale the heights of her chosen profession. A champion of the piano music of the early 19th Century outside that of the regular repertory, she recorded concertos by lesser known composers such as Czerny, Hummel and Ries as well as acclaimed recordings of Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin. It is these wonderful recordings that we are restoring and releasing to create a lasting record of this wonderfully talented pianist.

ECM Records.
2004 marked the 35th anniversary of ECM Records, founded by Manfred Eicher in Munich in 1969, and also the 20th anniversary of ECM New Series, which was launched in 1984. The range of music addressed over the years, in almost 900 record productions of improvised music and notated music, cannot easily be summarized, although innovation has been a hallmark of the work at all levels. Having changed perceptions of improvisation with meticulously realized jazz album productions, ECM has also brought new ideas and energies to the classical tradition, introduced important contemporary composers and interpreters, set standards for imaginative reconstructions of early music, explored the margins of the avant-garde, investigated the common ground between a multiplicity of folk musics, recorded poetry of Hölderlin, Seferis, T.S. Eliot and more, and issued soundtracks to the films of Godard and Angelopoulos. Innovations in record production have accompanied the musical innovations: sound is sculpted differently at ECM recording sessions. In recognition of this, Manfred Eicher has received numerous awards - as both a jazz producer and a classical producer, a unique distinction in the age of the specialist. (...)

EMI Classics |

EMI Classics.
EMI Classics was formed in 1990 to provide a single overall trademark for the marketing of EMI's classical recordings worldwide. Previously, EMI's classical product had appeared on a number of different, albeit famous, labels such as His Master's Voice, Columbia, Angel, Odeon and others, but some of these were not available to EMI in every territory, while others had strong regional associations. The creation of EMI Classics, and the introduction of a uniform record numbering system, enabled all of EMI's classical releases, now with tri-lingual notes, to be included in a single international catalogue available throughout the entire world. EMI Classics' heritage goes back a hundred years, to the start of both the Gramophone Company and the Columbia Graphophone Company. Many treasures from EMI's past are still on the catalogue, newly remastered using the latest technologies at Abbey Road Studios, beginning with some of the earliest recordings by the opera stars Enrico Caruso and Dame Nellie Melba. Other historical reissues include landmark achievements from the later days of the 78-rpm era by legendary figures such as the pianists Arthur Schnabel, Vladimir Horowitz and Arthur Rubinstein, violinists Jascha Heifetz and Fritz Kreisler, cellist Pablo Casals and the conductors Bruno Walter and Sir Thomas Beecham.

Glossa Music |

Glossa Music.
Spain's most international label, widely considered the world's finest in early music, has its headquarters in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, in the mountains near Madrid. Founded in 1992 by Carlos Céster and the brothers José Miguel and Emilio Moreno, it is a landmark not only on account of its extreme artistic coherence - with great names in early music among its exclusive performers, such as Paolo Pandolfo, La Venexiana, the Orchestra of the 18th Century, Le Concert Spirituel, Michael Noone, or the Moreno brothers themselves - but also because of its always innovative and exquisite formal proposals, such as the introduction of digipaks into classical music, the inclusion of multimedia tracks on some of its titles or, more recently, the presentation of the Glossa Platinum collection, with its avant-garde design. One of its most salient current projects is the integral recording of the madrigals of Claudio Monteverdi.

Hyperion Records |
Hyperion Records.
Founded in 1980, Hyperion is an independent British classical label devoted to presenting high-quality recordings of music of all styles and from all periods from the twelfth century to the twentieth. We have been described as 'Britain's brightest record label'. In January 1996 we were presented with the Best Label Award by MIDEM's Cannes Classiques Awards. The jury was made up of the editors of most of the leading classical CD magazines in the world - Classic CD (England), Soundscapes (Australia), Répertoire (France), FonoForum (Germany), Luister (Holland), Musica (Italy), Scherzo (Spain), and In Tune (USA & Japan). We named our label after an altogether splendid figure from Greek mythology. Hyperion was one of the Titans, and the father of the sun and the moon - and also of the Muses, so we feel we are fulfilling his modern role by giving the art of music to the world. The repertoire available on Hyperion, and its subsidiary label Helios (Helios, the sun, was the son of Hyperion), ranges over the entire spectrum of music - sacred and secular, choral and solo vocal, orchestral, chamber and instrumental - and much of it is unique to Hyperion. The catalogue currently comprises nearly 1400 CDs and approximately 80 new titles are issued each year. We have won many awards.

OUTHERE |
www.outhere-music.com
Outhere Music.
Outhere, unites prestigious classical music labels Æon, Alpha, Fuga Libera, Ricercar, Ramée, Zig-Zag Territoires and Outnot Records.
Aeon
The æon label is currently working on two complementary series: the one, strictly contemporary, is devoted to monographic CDs of composers of the 20th and 21st centuries; while the other, which is open to a wider repertoire, is based on the unusual qualities of the selected artists who are totally involved with æon. Every CD is conceived as the ultimate aim of a singular quest.
Alpha
Records that are as beautiful to look at as to listen to; that’s how the creation of Alpha was greeted by the press in 1999. While the general tendency is towards trivialisation and standardisation of recorded music, Alpha loves to shape each production into a unique object reflecting the century-old links between various forms of artistic expression. Love indeed also assumes understanding.
Fuga libera
Launched in the spring of 2004, Fuga Libera has grown steadily since then. Its repertoire stretches from late baroque to contemporary music, and it is supported by eminent actors of the European musical life. The catalogue also presents a growing collection of publications mixing classical music with other music genres such as jazz or world music, enjoying much acclaim since the very inception.
Phi
Philippe Herreweghe and Outhere give birth to the label «Φ» (Phi). Philippe Herreweghe will assume the artistic direction of this catalogue which will hold exclusive rights for his recordings with Collegium Vocale Gent and l’Orchestre des Champs-Elysées. It will be produced, edited and distributed by Outhere. By creating this collection, Philippe Herreweghe wishes to freely materialise the fruit of a long career of musical research and experiences. Outhere enthusiastically supports him in this endeavour. At a rhythm of 4 to 5 productions a year as from 2011, the catalogue will comprise productions devoted to the main symphonic and choral repertoire, polyphony and of course to the works of JS Bach that Philippe Herreweghe wants to revisit to produce ever more accomplished versions. The first release is Mahler’s Fourth Symphony. It will be followed, in spring 2011, by Bach’s motets and, subsequently, by works by Brahms and Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis.
Ramée
The Ramée label was founded in 2004 by Rainer Arndt. Since then it has established itself as a greatly respected label on the Early Music scene. Many releases from its limited catalogue have been highly acclaimed by public and press alike, several receiving numerous awards. RAMÉE creates cds as complete objets d'art, because they believe the ear's pleasure is intimately tied together with that of the eye and the hand. A collection for connaisseurs.
Ricercar
Several years ago, Jerome Lejeune started a label that was one of the pillars of the rediscovery of ancient and baroque music. Ricercar is also an astonishing personality, that of Jérôme Lejeune who has been master aboard for the past thirty years, shouldering all the productions as much on a scientific and artistic level as technical.
Zig Zag Territoires
Do you enjoy music, the search for excellence, for the ‘grain’ of sound, the quest for apt phrasing, for emotion? Do you appreciate music combined with painting? Since 1997, our artistic motivation, our very existence have served these ideals
Outnote Records
The new label will provide a privileged platform allowing established artists and up-and-coming musicians alike to define «the state of the art». The roster of artists already pledged to the project includes pianists Ronnie Lynn Patterson, Kenny Werner, Eric Watson, the electrojazz group After In Paris; the group Quest others are ready to step in, including, Philippe Le Baraillec, Dave Liebman, Richie Beirach, and even for an unpublished posthumous recording of Steve Lacy. Creating a record label is always an adventure; to borrow from Borges, «We publish in order to avoid spending our whole lives correcting drafts». A record is still the medium through which musicians translate their inspiration from the initial artistic impulse through to the finished work, adding one small – though not immutable – touch to the vast canvas of time. The label’s creators are united in their insistence on an open and pluralistic approach, the hallmark of this growing collection.
