CPO DVDs | 1 to 1 of 1 results

CPO has always been a popular label at Europadisc, with their approach of trying to fill niches that often aren’t touched because of the minimal profits available. They have devoted whole series of recordings to music by Korngold, Pfitzner, Atterberg, Pettersson and Spohr, to name but a few, and many treasures have been discovered along the way. There is a definite emphasis on repertoire from the romantic era through to the 20th century. Maybe the best description of the label comes from Burkhard Schmilgun, CPO’s A&R manager, who says that they have an interest in the ’"peripheral figures" of music history... not the olympic but also very smooth Richard Strauss, but rather Hans Pfitzner, who led a far more interesting life.’ With over 1400 discs currently available, there is certainly plenty of choice.
