Британский лейбл Chandos Records завершил покупку американского Bridge Records

05/09/2026 The British classical music label, Chandos Records, owned by Klaus Heymann, has finalized the acquisition of American label Bridge Records. This followed previous purchases of two German labels, Oehms Classics and Orfeo earlier in the year. Established in 1981 by the renowned guitarist and composer David Starobin, Bridge Records has built an outstanding reputation for its commitment to 20th and 21st-century classical repertoire, notably decades-long projects devoted to leading composers. The catalogue features many premiere recordings of works by prominent composers such as Elliott Carter, George Crumb, Paul Lansky, Poul Ruders, Joaquín Rodrigo, Stephen Sondheim, Hans Werner Henze, Henri Dutilleux and Tōru Takemitsu. Bridge has earned 37 Grammy and Latin Grammy nominations, and hundreds of awards and citations from publications across the globe in the past 45 years.
