Delos’ “strong personality” is due, above all, to the pioneering goals and philosophy of late founder Amelia S. Haygood, whose unshakable faith in the power of classical music, determination to record deserving American artists, championing of unusual repertoire, and cutting-edge recording technology forged an independent label that quickly gained a worldwide reputation for extraordinary artistry and the audiophile quality of its recordings. This 3-disc collection celebrates 40 choice tracks drawn from Delos’ catalog of over 500 orchestral, vocal and chamber/instrumental recordings.
