Archiv Produktion

Archiv Produktion is a classical music record label of German origin. It originated in 1948 as a classical label for the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft (DGG), and in 1958 Archiv was established as a subsidiary of DGG, specialising in recordings of Early and Baroque music. It has since developed a particular focus on "historically informed performance" and the work of artists of the Early music revival movement of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Key artists and recordings
1940s • Archiv Produktion's first recording was of Helmut Walcha playing Bach, 1947, released in 1948. Walcha went on to make two complete series of Bach's organ output (excepting a few minor pieces), one in mono recorded in 1947-52, one in stereo in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Both sets were released by Archiv to wide acclaim and have later been reissued on cd. • Fine Krakamp making solo harpsichord recordings in 1948 of Buxtehude & Krieger. 1950sRalph Kirkpatrick (harpsichord, many recordings of Bach and Handel) • Schola Cantorum Basiliensis under August Wenzinger 1960sCappella Coloniensis • Berlin Hugo Distler Chor, Klaus Fischer-DieskauJosef UlsamerMünchener Bach-Chor & Münchener Bach-Orchester, Karl RichterColin Tilney, Jörg Demus, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau • Schola Cantorum "Francesco Coradini" - Fosco Corti • Pierre Fournier (cello and viola da gamba) 1970sMonteverdi-Chor Hamburg, Jürgen JürgensPro Cantione Antiqua (medieval/renaissance vocal music, including a long series of albums of 15th/16th century polyphony) • Charles MackerrasCamerata Bern, Heinz Holliger 1980sMusica Antiqua Köln, Reinhard GoebelThe English Concert, Trevor Pinnock. • Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra, John Eliot Gardiner • harpsichordist Kenneth Gilbert 1990s • Musiciens du Louvre, Marc Minkowski - first recording for Archiv was Rameau's Hippolyte et Aricie 1994. • Orlando ConsortPomerium (ensemble)Piffaro, The Renaissance Band 2000s • Gabrieli Consort & Players, Paul McCreesh • Il Complesso Barocco, Alan Curtis 2010s • Venice Baroque Orchestra, Andrea Marcon, Giuliano CarmignolaPablo Heras-CasadoMahan Esfahani ==References==
