Cybele Records is a German record label based in Düsseldorf, specializing in classical music, namely contemporary music.[1] Founded in 1994, their motto is "Klassik der Zukunft" (Classics of the future), focused on contemporary composers and advanced recording technologies such as Super Audio CD and surround sound.
History
[edit | edit source]The company was founded in 1994 by Ingo Schmidt-Lucas who planned to publish contemporary music, literature and rarely recorded piece (Nischenrepertoire), but also to present classical music in a new sound.[1][2] Cybele published "portraits" of contemporary composers such as Peter-Jan Wagemans[3] and Graham Waterhouse, both in 2001.[4][5]
In 2004 they celebrated their 10th anniversary with a CD of works by various artists and composers.[6] They then began to publish Hörbücher (audiobooks) in a series Künstler im Gespräch, with Mirjam Wiesemann talking to artists about their music. In 2009 the label was awarded the ECHO Classic for the audio book Die Prinzessin – Kindergeschichten, geschrieben und gesprochen von Arnold Schönberg.[2] The edition of audio books received several awards, including in 2011 the prize for "Beste verlegerische Leistung" (best editorial achievement) of the Deutscher Hörbuchpreis.[7]
In 2009 Cybele recorded a first volume of Piano Works During & After Russian Futurism, played by Thomas Günther, including works by Nikolai Obuchov, Ivan Wyschnegradsky and Sergei Protopopov. A second volume followed in 2014, with works by Arthur Vincent Lourie and Protopopov.[8] In 2016 they published the complete organ works of Max Reger, played by Martin Schmeding on thirteen different organs from the composer's time; the recording was selected as "recording of the month" (October) by MusicWeb International.[9]
