- about us -
The MV
Cremona label
originated in 1999 from an idea of the founder and owner,
Marcello Villa, who was interested in assisting the popularity of
ancient, baroque and classical Italian music through the publication of
CDs.
Beginning with the city of Cremona and it's particularly rich musical
heritage, our intention is to deepen the relationship between the
town and the extraordinary importance of it's tradition of violin
making, protagonist of the musical renaissance which saw the violin become the star of instrumental music. Libraries in
Europe are full of veritable musical treasures, left to us by
local composers able, thanks to their imagination and skill, to
make their music known throughout Europe. These cremonese artists often forgotten in our day and age, are
occaisionally revered outside of their native country, usually
where they became famous.
The purpose of MV Cremona recordings is therefore to offer
discerning listeners the chance to hear pieces which, while
little known today, are certainly worth being rediscovered.
The musicians who perform on the MV Cremona label
play on instruments chosen for each musical work.
