Welcome to ICA Classics
The latest set of CD and DVD releases are now available from ICA Classics, comprising 3 CDs and 3 DVDs. These new releases are all being made available on CD and DVD for the first time and feature such eminent artists as Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, William Steinberg, Wilhelm Backhaus, Charles Munch and Erich Leinsdorf, both with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, as well as one of the most respected chamber ensembles of the 20th Century, The Amadeus Quartet.
International Classical Artists is the first artist management agency to have launched its own audio and audio-visual label featuring both archive material from sources such as the BBC, WDR in Cologne and the Boston Symphony Orchestra (the LEGACY series), as well as performances from the agency’s own artists recorded in prestigious venues around the world (the LIVE series).
The new set of CDs and DVDs brings ICA Classics’ total releases to 58 titles, featuring material recorded between 1954 and 2009.
The ICA Classics team has been instrumental in the success of many audio and audiovisual productions over the years including the origination of the DVD series The Art of Conducting, The Art of Piano and The Art of Violin; the archive based DVD series Classic Archive; co-production documentaries featuring artists such as Richter, Fricsay, Mravinsky and Toscanini; the creation of the BBC Legends archive label, launched in 1998 (now comprising more than 250 CDs), and the audio series Great Conductors of the 20th Century produced for EMI Classics.
