Amadeus Best

The story of Amadeus Classical Catalogue started in 1989 when Gaetano Santangelo, a passionate expert of classical music, published the first issue of Amadeus, the monthly magazine dedicated to great music. The magazine, distributed only on Italian newsstands, was a great success and soon became the first major monthly magazine on classical music. This led to the idea of enclosing a physical CD with the magazine, an absolute novelty for the Italian market of that time welcoming many world stars of classical music such as Herbert Von Karajan, Maurizio Pollini, Claudio Abbado, Martha Argerich, Leonard Bernstein, Riccardo Muti, etc as well as unreleased recordings of promising young artists, among them a talented Roberto Gini conducting the Ensemble Concerto for L’Estro Armonico by Antonio Vivaldi, a work that even today, after 30 years of illustrious dissemination, remains the flagship of the entire catalogue . The partnership between Aulicus Classics and the Amadeus Classical Catalogue is a great artistic and historical value for the musical heritage on a global scale.
