Seon

Profile

Sublabel of [l=Sony Classical] founded by [a=Wolf Erichson] in 1969. From 1973 releases were distributed by Phonogram. In 1978 the label moved to RCA. In 1997, Seon releases were reissued on CD. "My founding of the SEON label (1970-1980) came about from my desire to begin recording emerging stars of the early music movement. After several years of experimentation and pioneering work during the infancy of [l=Das Alte Werk], I felt the time was ripe to create a record label for period music, which, with the benefit of the most advanced recording techniques then available, would ensure that the extraordinary performances of [a=Frans Brüggen], [a=Anner Bylsma], the [a=Kuijkens], [a=Gustav Leonhardt] and [a=Konrad Ruhland] would be preserved, and, beyond that, take their rightful place beside the acclaimed greats of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries." —Wolf Erichson
