The company was founded in Detmold, Germany in 1998 as "GENUIN Musikproduktion" by
sound engineers Holger Busse and Alfredo Lasheras Hakobian. Five years later, in January 2003, the "GENUIN" classical music label began distributing CDs throughout
Germany, with most releases produced by its own recording engineers. In 2005, the company moved from Detmold to Leipzig as a result of which a fruitful collaboration with German broadcaster
MDR and the famed Leipzig
Gewandhaus resulted. In January 2006 Tonmeister Michael Silberhorn joined the company. During 2009 GENUIN Musikproduktion restructured operations and now consists of its “GENUIN classics” label and music production company "GENUIN recording group." == Repertoire and awards ==
