Founded in 1978, it specialises in classical music and opera, especially rarely performed works and has produced several world premiere recordings.

Mosetti Casaretto, a surgeon and amateur violinist, took over a small label founded by the musicologist Edward Neill.

The first recordings were issued on vinyl, the first being Paganini's Barucabà Variations played by Salvatore Accardo.

In 1985 the company moved to its current site in the Villa Quartana on the Righi hill overlooking Genoa, where it set up a recording hall that could house a small chamber orchestra.

For the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro, they have recorded on DVD L'equivoco stravagante, Ermione, La gazza ladra, Torvaldo e Dorliska, Bianca e Falliero, L'italiana in Algeri, and on CD La cambiale di matrimonio and Il turco in Italia.
