Hemiolia Records is an Italian audiophile tape label located in Perugia (Umbria), with a recording and mastering studio in Savio. More than 10 years after the vinyl revival first began, an ever-increasing number of music lovers are realising that the purest way to enjoy music is to keep it pure analogue. And now the same is starting to happen with another analogue format – open reel tape. The potential sonic rewards are so great that many audiophiles are now embarking on this new journey!

In full collaboration with the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation, Hemiolia have spent more than two years painstakingly restoring and remastering the Master’s own personal archive of his live concert recordings.  After each concert, Pavarotti (or one of his entourage) asked the sound technicians for a recording of each concert on magnetic tape.  Representing a unique artistic archive of great historical significance, many of the tapes contain unpublished works and material heard only by the Master himself, performed in different locations around the world.  A growing selection of master tapes will also be available from other artists. Each tape is issued with an ‘A4P’ analogue certificate which is hand-signed by Hemiolia to confirm their total adherence to analogue processes in all phases of production.
