  • PHILIPS

    Philips

    Philips is a label I associate with one thing above all: recordings that let me hear deeply into the performance without making the recording itself the attraction. The Philips classical recording operation began in the Netherlands in 1950, initially with the practical aim of supplying high-quality recordings for the growing Philips audio business. That commercial…

  • Phoebe Bridges

    Phoebe Bridges

    The voice of Phoebe Bridgers has a quality that I find particularly interesting. She rarely needs to raise it to make a song feel personal.

  • Polydor

    Polydor

    The first thing that makes Polydor interesting to me is the almost absurd range of music connected with the label. I can move from James Brown to The Jam, from The Cure to Björk, from The Who to Nirvana, and then continue with James Blake or Michael Kiwanuka. That is quite a journey for one…

  • Praga digitals

    Praga Digitals

  • Ramee

    Ramée Records

    A very good way to understand Ramée is to listen to Armonico Tributo, the 2005 recording of Georg Muffat by Les Muffatti under Peter Van Heyghen. The music has energy and colour, but what immediately caught my attention was how naturally the individual instruments remain separated without the recording pulling them apart. Violins have bite,…
