IBS Classical is a Spanish classical record label founded in 2012 by Francisco Moya Castro and based in Granada. Some albums are released under the sub-label IBS Classical Gold, and credits are usually to IBS Artist. Although the company has a wide range of releases, it pays particular attention to the musical heritage of Spain, including recovering Spanish works, and to promoting new work, especially by Latin American, Spanish and other European composers and performers.
