What is "analekta"

Analekta is Canada's largest independent classical music recording label.

The label, which takes its name from the Greek word analekta ("a collection of the finest works"), was founded in 1988 by the Canadian music industry manager and entrepreneur François Mario Labbé, C.Q., who remains its owner and president today. It is based in Montreal, Quebec, and has released more than 500 classical albums in the past 26 years.

Its first three CDs, which each won international critical acclaim, were an album by the Canadian violinist Angèle Dubeau, the first digital recording of the Red Army Choir, and a recording of the soundtrack of The Music Teacher starring José van Dam.
