Prelude welcomes you
The music-CD specialty shop Prelude is located in the Netherlands. The website and shop are a quality source for the classical music lovers. Our mission is to provide high value appraisals of classical music productions, independent of the CD-producers. Prelude’s knowledge of classical music is an important added value. Prelude operates internationally and offors you e-mail with web-support and Podcast. If you don't have an iTunes or QuickTime player it's easy to download free players. Don’t expect to find CD-reviews at Prelude; the simple fact that a classical CD is listed on our currently recommended page implies its high quality. It is no coincidence that in particular you will find the productions of the smaller independent classical CD-labels on Prelude’s web site. Nowadays the real interesting classical CDs are coming from the' little ones'. Prelude is not just a classical CD specialty shop; there is much more. Take for example the concerts Prelude sponsors regularly.
