Simax Classics


We have been fortunate enough to work with the best musicians, composers, producers and engineers around, and together we have built up this catalogue which we are extremely proud of. Simax has always been about the musical experience, about creating a space where the work, the performance and the listener can meet – and make music happen.




Since 1978 Simax Classics has presented repertoire from the finest composers of the western classical tradition. Throughout the aim has been to give our listeners the highest quality recordings of the finest performances. In this period the activity and quality of Norwegian musicians has seen a tremendous boost, headed by the younger generations. This development has inspired our work, and at Simax Classics we are very proud to be part of it. We have had the opportunity to introduce both new artists and new music to the international scene together with releases of legacy recordings from great artists of the past. Simax Classics in 2006 presents a comprehensive catalogue of classical music with the hope of reaching audiences all over the world.

Technology in the service of music
Since day one Simax Classics has developed an audio philosophy with the aim of serving the classical music tradition in the best possible way. With in-depth knowledge and love of this music as our basis, we have always let our ears and hearts, rather than any technical models, lead us in our work. Special care for those all-important nuances of colour, image depth, instrumental balance and dynamics are the foundations of the Simax Sound. The best technology around, whether old or new, is our means towards this end. Of course stereo recordings have been prevailing for the better part of our existence, but we have worked with surround recordings since 1995. So far five surround recordings are available in the catalogue.
