About

“It’s time to take a moment and be grateful: It’s been 40 years that the Capriccio label has produced records – through and despite all the upheavals and vast market shifts in the recording industry over the last decades. As a new label producing LPs and tapes in 1982, it was our release of the first digital Beethoven symphony cycle with the Dresden Philharmonic and Herbert Kegel (issued on CD two years later) that first turned heads. Today, Capriccio’s catalogue includes well over 1,000 titles with repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary composers, full of re-discoveries and world premieres, and performed by a steadily growing roster of internationally renowned artists.

“Time to celebrate? Absolutely. But also time to reflect on the fact that, in the midst of the current digital revolution, it’s no longer a given that labels can continuously produce and publish classical recordings. Therefore, this is also the time to acknowledge both our artists, our support teams operating in the background all over the world, and the encouragement and help we have received from so many people that has fuelled the continuity and success of our label. Happy Birthday to us all!”
– Johannes Kernmayer, label director, Capriccio
