Celebrating Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 90th Birthday!
Since 1989, Cedille Records has released nearly 40 vocal albums featuring more than 50 different soloists and ensembles. The Ruth Bader Ginsburg Fund for Vocal Recordings honors the late Justice’s love of vocal music — the music and its performers, and her support of Cedille Records. The Fund will support Cedille’s release of at least one vocal album each year.
We celebrate what would have been the Justice’s (the mother of Cedille Records’ founder and President James Ginsburg) 90th birthday, on March 15, 2023, with a playlist of pieces she loved (or would have loved in the case of the opera we just released), beginning with two songs that touch on her personally and including five (out of 15) selections by women composers. We hope you will enjoy them in her honor and memory!

Haymarket Opera Company presents early-18th-century master Leonardo Vinci’s rare operatic gem, Artaserse (1730). A prominent figure of the Neapolitan School of opera, whose work influenced composers such as Johann Adolph Hasse and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Vinci’s three-act opera seria centers on the Persian prince, Artaserse, who must bring his father’s murderer to justice amidst betrayal, deceit, and mistaken identity.
Cedille Records augments its 2018 release, Notorious RBG in Song, critically proclaimed “an engrossing, episodic portrait” (WQXR) and “vivid and beautiful” (Classics Today) — with a digital single, “On the Joys of Recorded Music,” in anticipation of what would have been Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 93rd birthday (March 15).
To celebrate our new opera album (3/13 release) Leonardo Vinci: Artaserse (Haymarket Opera Company) we’ve revised/expanded our RBG 90th birthday playlist of her favorite vocal music on Cedille — now starting with albums supported by the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Fund for Vocal Recordings, created in 2022.
