Tacet
produces music of the very highest standard. But that
certainly does not mean music for a small minority of
classical music fans. On the contrary, the number of
Tacet fans is growing all the time. Because they are
rediscovering music itself - with all its fire and all
its sensuous charm - and in its natural development.
What best
aids a work of music? What is the best way of conveying
it? How can one win people over to this or that music?
First and foremost are the musicians themselves! Then
comes the room where the recording is made. Finally the
microphones - and the whole gamut of recording equipment.
And not the other way round! That is why at Tacet the
musicians have a say in the recording: what they
themselves want, and what fits in with Tacet, is produced
with the greatest loving care. The production is made for
a growing market, but Tacet does not allow itself to be
pushed around by market forces.
The
decisions are made not by some far-off members of the
board, but by the owner of Tacet himself, Andreas Spreer,
musician and much-praised tonmeister. Tacet - that is
audiophile quality products, which receive glowing
reviews in the music press, on radio and in the
newspapers.
Tacet was
founded in 1989. This little company is based in Bad
Cannstatt in Stuttgart, close to the famous Kurpark.
Right from the beginning Tacet trod new ground, following
two paths simultaneously: the musical and the technical.
The
musicians do not only play structurally clear music but
also love emotional interpretations - as one recalls them
from the great musicians of the past: for many listeners
today that is a completely new and impressive experience.
It is refreshingly stimulating to listen to a Tacet
production. The Tacet sound is something quite special:
it is audiophile and does not kill the music. That is why
many musicians see Tacet as "their" label.
Tacet is kind both to the music and the musicians! And is
therefore of course listener-friendly.
The
recording policy is always to find the most natural
result. Surprisingly, this is often achieved with a
minimum of technical effort and equipment, but with the
maximum of thought, care and planning - and using the
very best equipment available.
Unconventional
ways of thinking and enormous skill produce sounds and
musical results which are not only astonishing but also
totally convincing. Tacet campaigns for quality. And
Tacet stands for unusual artistic ideas, truly
outstanding musical personalities and audiophile sounds.
Tacet is successful and is now available all over the
world.
