An introduction

This is the English language web site of ausArt records, the Basque classical label. Here we present you with our catalogue and artists. You are also invited to visit our other sites:

www.ausartcd.com (our CD catalogue in Spanish)
www.errotika-lib.com (books in Basque and Spanish),
and
www.ausart24.com (our audio DVD and DVD audio site).

We also recommend a visit to the Basque Composers archives at www.eresbil.com.

We would like to familiarize you with the Basque classic repertoire. To that end we are including all sorts of information related to the musicians featured in our catalogue: biographical notes, photographs and free mp3 downloads. We have also included a listing of all our commercially available CDs.  We hope you will find this visit useful and the music enjoyable.

In the page Catalogue, you will find an uptodate, December 2009, catalogue of all our commercially available titles.

Under the tab New you will find a list of our 2009 releases.

Under the tab Friends you will find the list of the artists that have collaborated with us over the years. Some of them are linked to biographical notes, photos and free mp3 downloads.

We are constantly adding new material to this web site so feel free to call in whenever you like.

Here is a track from our new release Andrés Isasi BALLADEN - FILMS, played by Cristina Navajas:

ausArt records

Founded in 1994 with the objectives of promoting the Basque classical repertoire and the work of artists living in Vasconia and of recuperating forgotten recordings, over the years we have developed a catalogue of about 140 commercial titles mainly, but not exclusively, of choral, piano, organ and church music, and again mainly but not exclusively, by Basque composers.
 

NEW RELEASE - OPERATIC GUITAR

Our reference aArus071, OPERATIC GUITAR,  has been published. Eduardo BARANZANO plays the transcriptions for guitar Ramon and Miquel CARNICER made of various parts of operas by Rossini, Bellini and Saldoni. Below you can listen to the Romanza of Ipermestra an opera by Baltasar Saldoni. 

Juan Padrosa - Debussy: Berceuse des éléphants

we support real stereo

We support REAL STEREO as defined and developed by Alan Blumlein and, over the years, by countless other recording engineers and we have made stereo recording our practice. However, we must also point out that a third of the titles in our catalogue have come from mono radio recordings. These we have edited as such. All new titles with the exception of aArus041 - a mono recording - and aArus034 and 053, which are studio recordings not made by us, are real stereo recordings. All our booklets include a description of the equipment used in the recording and editing process. Thus, we have designed this logo.
