Landmarks - 40 Years of Chandos
Landmarks - 40 Years of Chandos
Founded by Brian Couzens in 1979, Chandos quickly established itself as one of the worlds leading classical labels. The Chandos Sound has become a benchmark for quality, renowned alike among artists and critics around the globe. From its inception, Chandos has specialised in recording British music, and in bringing lesser-known (and unknown) music to public attention. Released to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the label, this handsomely packaged 40-disc set comprises 40 complete recordings from Chandos extensive catalogue. Each of the four decades is represented, and each recording has been hand-picked by the Managing Director, Ralph Couzens, because it represents a turning point, or Landmark, in the development of the label.
