The American recording company group Parma Recordings announced the acquisition of another classical label, MSR Classics and its catalog of nearly 800 commercial releases.

MSR was founded in 1998 by music industry veteran Robert LaPorta who will stay on with MSR as Artistic Advisor to help shepherd the transition.

Following their previous acquisition of Albany Records, Parma now administers nearly 4,000 commercial releases from the MSR, Navona, Ravello, Big Round, Ansonica, and Albany labels.

« It is an honor to welcome MSR Classics into the Parma family,” said CEO Bob Lord. “Robert’s long commitment to creating a culture of excellence and presenting high-quality, inspired classical music recordings to audiences worldwide aligns perfectly with our philosophy here at Parma. We are proud to ensure that the label’s prestigious catalog continues to grow and reach new audiences.”
