Overview
Overview
Since the establishment of the label in 2008, the releases on The Glyndebourne Label draw on the extensive recordings in the archive, which span the years from 1960 to the present day. The recordings were originally made for posterity by the late John Barnes. These recordings are released in pairs, with one recording from the old opera house and one from the new, which opened in 1994. All releases on the Glyndebourne Label are from live performances, resulting in vividly realistic recordings. They are packaged as a hard bound book containing a libretto in English, French and German along with a feature article and a synopsis.
