The Complete Shostakovich String Quartets, the 13 disc Furtwängler box set and the 4 disc Friedrich Gulda box set are amongst audite’s much praised international successes of 2009.
For historical releases, we continue to use original master tapes from radio archives: only with these can the best possible sound quality be obtained, as master tapes are vastly superior to private copies and recordings of radio broadcasts. The acquisition of licensing rights not only allows access to these tapes but also provides a clear legal position. The expression “1st Master Release” outlines these features in all audite archive releases.
We are particularly delighted by praise and awards from the musical press. Of the highest importance to us, however, is the musical listening experience which can and should move the individual, whether he is a customer, journalist or distribution manager: that is why we make our CDs and SACDs.
On this note, may I wish you, once again, many discoveries and listening experiences with audite in 2010!
