The catalog includes albums by Elliott Carter, George Crumb, Henri Dutilleux, Hans Werner Henze, Paul Lansky, Joaquin Rodrigo, Fred Lerdahl, Poul Ruders, Stephen Sondheim, Toru Takemitsu, and Stefan Wolpe. A series of historical recordings coordinated with the Library of Congress includes works by Samuel Barber, Budapest String Quartet, Aaron Copland, Nathan Milstein, Leontyne Price, Leopold Stokowski, George Szell, and Cecil Taylor.
