MRC Classical is an independent UK record label dedicated to making fine recordings of chamber and wind music. We specialise in rare and neglected works for woodwind and are privileged to work with some of the finest classical musicians in the UK today.

First and foremost we are an artist-led label. We support a growing network of professional musicians who, despite possessing well-established careers, are finding it increasingly difficult to get their work to disc. Recording projects are nominated by the artists themselves, and our aim is to fund two innovative releases each year. Artists are encouraged to assist in all aspects of production. The objective is to attain musical excellence through involvement in the entire creative process. Recording projects are essentially personal statements made by the musicians themselves - music they wish to perform under conditions they wish to dictate.

Compact discs of works for flute, oboe, bassoon and piano, including some delightful wind trios by Poulenc, Françaix, Dring and Damase feature in our catalogue, as well as beautifully arranged compositions by the renowned bassoonist Martin Gatt. Our catalogue may be purchased from these online stores and these retail outlets, and is also available as high-resolution MP3 and lossless WMA downloads from www.theclassicalshop.net, where customers are able to listen to clips of each track prior to purchase and download single tracks as well as whole albums
