JUNE 1—16
NEW WORLD
CURATED BY PAUL TAI
Anthology of Recorded Music, Inc., which records under the label New World Records, was founded in 1975. We are dedicated to the documentation of American music that is largely ignored by the commercial recording companies. Like the university press, New World preserves neglected treasures of the past and nurtures the creative future of American music. Through the production of over 400 recordings some 700 American composers have been represented. In an industry obsessed with million-unit sales and immediate profits, New World chooses artistic merit as its indicator of success.
