Our Baroque Music in Britain Catalogue of 100+ CDs is a quality product of Oryx Recordings, a company which has been in the classical recording business for forty years. The company has always specialized in the music of Bach and the Baroque period, and draws from an extensive library of recordings originating from the Oryx Studios at Walton-on-Thames in Surrey.

Our Catalogue also offers recordings by the renowned British musicologist Professor Denis Stevens directing his own Accademia Monteverdiana, together with many other well-known British artists and orchestras, from Millicent Silver (harpsichord) to Alfred Deller (the legendary counter-tenor), David Munrow (recognised authority on medieval instruments) and the Little Orchestra of London under Leslie Jones.

Many of these recordings date from the 60s and 70s featuring some of the truly great performances. These have been digitally reprocessed and remastered. Others are recent digital recordings. The main criterion is to offer the very best in performance and musicianship, and the baroque period's most engaging works.

Avoiding the extremes of "authentic" performances, our recordings favour the traditional style, where the violins "sing" as baroque composers intended, harpsichords are full-voiced and mellow as Bach is known to have preferred, and tempi are fast enough not to drag, but take a measured and respectful pace maximizing clarity – performance in what we call The Baroque Spirit. Our numerous music samples allow ample opportunity to hear before you buy.

Ordering and payment through the internet is fast and simple. All CDs are priced at just £8.99 each, which includes delivery to your door - nothing further to pay. All titles are held in stock at all times. Orders are dispatched complete in one package, within two business days. Customers receive instant email acknowledgement of payment. There are no minimum orders - order what you like when you like.

We welcome you to our catalogue and it is our hope that our recordings will give you lasting and rewarding pleasure.
