Greetings,
From the earliest years of the Recording Industry, Australian
artists have made their mark upon the world market. Nellie Melba,
Percy Grainger, Peter Dawson, Malcolm McEachern and Florence
Austral were amongst the earliest Australians to make an impact
in the recording studio, as were Music Hall artists such as
Florrie Ford and Billy Williams.
Over the years Australia has continued to provide the World
with first class artists in all sectors of the Performing Arts.
Today there are many noted Australian artists living around
the world, giving of their best and continuing this long tradition.
Given the extraordinarily rich legacy, it seems quite astonishing
that Australia has not had its own Recording Company producing
primarily for the world market. Our greatest artists have mostly
made their recordings on foreign soil with foreign associates
and foreign orchestras. The result of this is that, whilst the
world at large has recognised Australian talent, it has been
isolated from the rich musical life that Australians enjoy.
International audiences have been unaware of the significant
achievements of many fine Australian Artists simply because
there existed no Australian Record Company to take their talents
to the world.
In 1992, with the launch of WALSINGHAM CLASSICS, a major step
was made towards correcting this state of affairs. The main
purpose of WALSINGHAM CLASSICS was to record Australia’s top
Classical talent, professionally package it and export it to
the world. In the past sixteen years the venture has been an
outstanding success. We have been delighted with the response
from many favourable reviews from around the world and the hundreds
of complimentary letters received from members of the general
public.
For sometime now we have enjoyed the splendid mail-order service
provided by Buywell (www.buywell.com). We cannot recommend them
more highly to you for fast, safe, reliable and efficient service.
They truly are second to none. They stock our entire current
catalogue – which you can see by clicking here – and export
to the World.
We thank you for your patronage over the past sixteen years
and we trust that our recordings will continue to bring you
endless hours of listening pleasure.
Good listening,
|
