New Schubert Symphony in our series "Legendary Recordings" with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under the great Rafael Kubelik on LP!
After the nomination of the audite-production „Mahler: Song of the Earth“ for the Cannes Classical Award 2004 this prize was now actually awarded to the recording!
In September 2003 audite got off to a convincing start in SACD- Surroundsound with „Touching Colours“. Also for the future the label puts its trust clearly in SACD-technology.
audite receives its first major award with the Cannes Classical Award for Symphony No. 3 from the Mahler cycle with Rafael Kubelik and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
audite is launching an SACD (Super Audio Compact Disc) for the first time with the premiere recording Touching Colours, thus enabling even greater listening enjoyment as the medium allows higher digital resolution as well as the storage of multi-channel sound without data reduction.
The Mandelring Quartett begins with the three-part complete recording of Franz Schubert's string quartets, which should turn out to be the start of a decades-long collaboration.
When audite and Fermate merge to form audite Musikproduktion, the new label boss Ludger Böckenhoff takes over Mauermann's entire catalogue and develops one of audite's two repertoire cornerstones on the basis of the successful Mahler cycle: from then on, the label is primarily dedicated to the release of historical archive recordings through close cooperation with radio stations, as well as the release of new discoveries or complete editions.
Start of the cooperation with the Bavarian Radio Archive (BR), which is to last until 2007. At the heart of this cooperation are the releases of the Mahler symphonies performed under Kubelik in the 1970s. The first of these will be Symphony No. 5, which will be released simultaneously on CD and LP, but a large number of other radio recordings with Kubelik will also be published in the coming years.
With the release of Eduard and Richard Franck's and Carl Reinecke's cello sonatas, label boss Böckenhoff presents a premiere recording that is to have a strong influence on future label policy. Until 2014, 14 more productions will follow to rediscover the forgotten Mendelssohn Bartholdy pupils Eduard and Richard Franck - all of them premiere recordings, released with the "Premiere Recordings" seal of quality.
Ludger Böckenhoff founds his label "Fermate" in Detmold.
