The Bach Guild
History of The Bach Guild
The Bach Guild, founded in 1948, was created to address a gaping hole in the record catalog. Brothers Seymour and Maynard, having borrowed $10,000 from their father, started a label with the intention of recording every Bach Cantata composed. A pamphlet placed inside the first LP release on The Bach Guild notes that 1 ½ cantatas were available on recording at the time of that release. That LP, containing three Bach cantatas, doubled the amount.
Interest in recording on The Bach Guild was overwhelming. Seymour Solomon remained devoted to baroque music – particularly the “new” early music/historic instruments practice strongly advocated by Gustav Leonhardt, Alfred Deller and Nikolaus Harnoncourt. The Bach Guild continued to release world premiere recordings of Vivaldi’s La Cetra, Haydn’s Mass for St. Theresa and The Lord Nelson Mass , as well as recording over 60 of Bach’s 300+ cantatas. While Seymour Solomon never completed his vision for The Bach Guild, he left a legacy of ground-breaking baroque and early music recordings captured in exquisite sound.
The Bach Guild now returns with a devotion to Bach and the music of the baroque era. Reviving the classic recordings of The Bach Guild catalog, and presenting new recordings of the great master are priority, as is making the argument that Bach is essential to anyone with ears.

Chiara String Quartet
Chamber music in any Chamber.
"When the musicians put bows to strings, they delivered a nuanced performance that suggested that Webern’s 1909 score accommodates, and perhaps demands, conflicting points of view. They embraced the late Romanticism from which the music is mined, playing parts of the first movement with a lush, pulsing vibrato that made its turn-of-the-century Viennese origins unmistakable, and bathing the finale in an emotional, warm glow.

Catherine Manoukian
“Canadian-born Catherine Manoukian is an eloquent exponent of this appetizing work (Khatchaturian's Violin Concerto). Her tone is pure, with nicely understated vibrato, and her playing throughout is gorgeously expressive. The gentle lilt of Khachaturian's high-flying melodic lines, not least in the berceuse-like Andante, comes across almost effortlessly, as if the violin were floating on an oriental carpet of air, swayed here and there by gentle breezes, until the spirited finale calls forth a more vigorous tone. All in all, a scintillatingly good performance, splendidly captured.”
- The Strad Magazine
We assisted Ms. Manoukian with a viral marketing Campaign, pre-promoted her CD and built a new fan base, including Facebook fanbases, integration of video blogging and YouTube media, and CD giveaway promotions.
