Story telling projects
COBRA RECORDS is always looking for remarkable projects performed by young talent and/or internationally well known musicians and special ensembles, domestically and abroad. Every Cobra album is a story telling project.
Enthusiasm, ambition, open-minded, sense of quality, cooperation and flexibility are our keywords.
Remarkable can be defined as groundbreaking, innovative, but also sublime performance of the “main repertoire”.
Looking for everyone’s highest quality we create all conditions to achieve a special production. This all starts with discussing repertoire, planning, choosing acoustical location.
Each musician gets complete artistic freedom and all the support to achieve highest expression.
Fair Trade
COBRA RECORDS is a fair trade label. Together with musicians we invest in new productions. This is for both parties a healthy mechanism that forces combining efforts for maximum publicity.
COBRA RECORDS attaches great importance to a broad collaboration with musicians, composers, concert halls, artist management and media.
In the media COBRA RECORDS is known as a sympathetic, small, quality label.
