Overview
Overview
The Austrian Gramola focuses on classical music. It initially focused on Austrian composers and foreign composers living in Austria such as Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Schubert. However, nowadays the company works on CD production and the promotion of young Austrian musicians, or foreign musicians currently living in Austria. Gramola has up to 70 new releases annually, predominantly of Austrian artists. Gramola currently collaborates with Exilarte, an organization dedicated to the reception, research, and preservation of works by Austrian composers and musicologists who were persecuted, exiled, or murdered during the National Socialism era. In 2024, the Austrian national public broadcaster ORF reported on the 100th anniversary of the company, which has since made an international name for itself and has recordings.
