About Helicon Records, Ltd./Kleos Classics
Helicon/Kleos is the proprietor–select vintage of the classical music world.
Like creating an extraordinary wine, Helicon/Kleos' Irwin Katz
chooses repertoire, recordings and artists that are important for the public
to hear and to own in their CD library.
Irwin Katz is a one of the most
prominent members of the classical recording industry. A classically trained
trumpeter, Irwin received his undergraduate and graduate degrees at
the Manhattan School of Music. He was a
member of the Cleveland Orchestra and toured
with the orchestra of the Ballet Russe.
As a record company executive, Katz became deeply involved with the careers of
James Galway, Midori, Michael Tilson-Thomas, Yo-Yo Ma, Wynton Marsalis and
many others. As the focus of classical music segment of the recording
industry narrowed, Katz became concerned that many recordings and
new artists were not being made available to the public. He founded
Helicon/Kleos in 1996 to bring important recordings and
emerging artists to a worldwide audience.
