OnClassical began in 2003 as the first Italian independent label for the distribution of classical music on the internet. It was also one of the world's pioneers in the utilization of the then new Creative Commons licence.
OnClassical believes in the accuracy of the microphone take and the naturalness of the resulting sound achieved without any kind of manipulation. The decision on the ultimate sound quality is always made before the recording begins, and never afterwards.
This philosophy of OnClassical is carried into the realization of all the various production phases: starting from the choice of musicians, the recording venue, the instruments and equipment, and deciding where these will be positioned. It also includes the phases of recording, mixing,
and mastering, and the publication and distribution of the musical product on internet within a frame of absolute prestige.
Amongst the first artists to believe in our project are some first-award-winners of major international competitions, such as Gianluca Luisi (Bach at Saarbrücken), Roberto Plano (Cleveland and Van Cliburn), Maurizio Baglini, Aleksandra
Mikulska (Chopin at Warsaw), and Luca Fanfoni (Paganini); just to mention a few.
The careful selection of recordings included in our latest version of the site has enhanced onclassical.com even more and turned it into a nook for audiophiles; the only one of its kind for its quality in recording and performances.
