John Q. Walker’s Summary

Our breakthrough first recording for Sony was in the Billboard Classical Top Ten for months -- and hailed by the Amazon.com editors as the most important album of the year, across all genres.

We recently made a new recording of Rachmaninoff, the "Recording of the Month" in the December 2009 issue of "The Absolute Sound" magazine. Of our recording of jazz great Art Tatum, Stereophile magazine wrote "this is a crucially-important release in musical history."
