"The Baroque Music Club 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 both from Oryx Studios and from other licensed and available sources.

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 favor 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." ... more

"Time Life is one of the world's pre-eminent creators and direct marketers of unique music and video/DVD products. The company specializes in creating distinctive multi-media collections that evoke memories of yesterday, capture the spirit of today, and can be enjoyed for a lifetime.

Founded in 1961 as the book division of Time Inc., Time Life took its name from Time Inc.'s cornerstone magazines, Time and Life, but remained independent of both. By 1966, Time Life combined its book offerings with music collections (two to five records) and packaged them as a sturdy box set. Music and video collections now make up the core of company's product offering.

At the end of 2003 Time Life was sold by Time, Inc. and as a result is no longer affiliated with that organization. The company now operates as Direct Holdings Americas Inc., but still retains use of the Time Life brand." ... more
