Cedille’s recordings are a part of your legacy of support!
Recordings are the musical legacy of Cedille’s artists. Their body of work, represented by concert performances and recordings, defines their contribution to music history. Your support of Cedille makes these recordings possible. Thus, Cedille’s recordings are part of your legacy too!
Cedille Records has released the world-premiere recording of over 400 compositions. This means that, because of Cedille, you can experience world-class performances of more than 400 works (new and historic) in professionally produced, audiophile recordings simply by popping in a CD or streaming the piece online. That kind of exposure and promotion is vital to composers and performers. Other performers and industry representatives will then reference these premiere performances.
“ONE OF THE AMAZING THINGS ABOUT ALL THE RECORDINGS THAT WE’VE MADE WITH CEDILLE IS THAT THEY’RE WORLD PREMIERE RECORDINGS OF THESE PIECES — COMMISSIONED WORKS FOR US — AND IT’S HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE PROFUNDITY OF THAT. THIS IS THE ARCHIVAL RECORDING OF THIS WORLD PREMIERE PIECE, AND THAT’S VERY SPECIAL.”
