IN 2010 GRAMOPHONE NAMED LINN
LABEL OF THE YEAR
In October 2010 at the annual Gramophone Awards, Linn was named
Label of the Year. For Linn, winning this prestigious award was the culmination
of nearly three decades of work, and represents the dedication of a team
striving to give the you the best music, with no compromises on quality or
support of our artists.
While Linn engineers were testing
their flagship product, the Sondek LP12 turntable, they became frustrated with some of the specialist test LPs
they were using. Work began on an LP cutting lathe as a research product to
improve testing for the LP12. The first albums to be cut and
subsequently released was A Walk Across the
Rooftops by The Blue Nile. They also released Carol Kidd's
award-winning debut album.
Today they are an audiophile
label, specialising in classical, jazz and Celtic music, and won the Record
Label of the Year award at the 2010 Gramophone Awards. Release formats include CD, SACD, HDCD, vinyl and
digital downloads.
Studio Masters
With a Studio Master, you
get to hear more of the music. It's the closest we can get to capturing the
artist's original performance. In fact, it's recorded with such accuracy that
you'd think the artist was performing in your room.
Customers tell us that the
quality of sound on our recordings has encouraged them to expand their
listening habits. They find themselves exploring new music and enjoying
classical as well as rock, pop, electronic and jazz.
