Grand Piano Records, launched in 2012, produces high quality recordings of rare keyboard gems. It is dedicated to the exploration of undiscovered piano repertoire and specialises in multi-volume recordings and complete cycles of piano works by many less-known composers.
Grand Piano, one of the Naxos Music Group labels (and run by HNH International Ltd), has released well over one hundred albums, many of which include first recordings of music from many different countries.
