OUR Recordings

“30 Years Of Artistry, One Label Built On Creative Freedom.”

After 30 years, and more than 70 international releases with companies like Philips/Polygram, RCA/BMG, and EMI, the Danish classical artists, recorder player Michala Petri and guitarist/lute player Lars Hannibal launched on November 1st, 2006 their own recording label, OUR Recordings.

As the name suggests, their releases were intended to be mostly recordings where either Michala Petri or Lars Hannibal, or both, are involved. The idea was to have full artistic and creative freedom and responsibility to record what they felt was necessary and consistent with their desire to explore new challenges. In recent years, OUR Recordings has expanded the catalogue with some of the most interesting Danish artists and ensembles.
