New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Current
Music now represents Fantasy Music's Classical Collection for licensing in the US and Canada. The catalog highlights the most famous Classical pieces ever written by 30 of the greatest Classical composers of all time.
Aside from simple solo piano pieces, beautifully recorded Classical music has always been a challenge to come by for affordable licensing. First you would need to find highly skilled players who can tackle performing Mozart, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff who are some of the most complex Composers who ever lived! Some of these works also require up to 120 piece Orchestras. Secondly, you need to gather up well rehearsed Choirs and trained Classical singers who can take on beautifully intricate Choral works or sing heartfelt Operas. You also need to find virtuoso musicians to play some of the most difficult pieces ever written for instruments like cello, violin and trumpet. Then you need to book recording studios that can accommodate these ensembles, as well as hire recording engineers who are trained in this specialized style of music. Fantasy Production
Music in London has done just that.
