Gimell Gimell

Gimell was founded by Peter Phillips and, producer, Steve Smith solely to make and market recordings by The Tallis Scholars.

The first Gimell recording was made on March 22nd and 23rd, 1980, in the Chapel of Merton College, Oxford. The recording of Allegri'sMiserere, Mundy'sVox patris caelestisand Palestrina'sMissa Papae Marcelliwas an instant success reaching number one in the UK HMV Classical Chart. It was recently featured as one of the Fifty Greatest Recordings of all time by BBC Music Magazine.
​
Single-artist labels have become commonplace in recent years: Gimell was the first, predicting the trend by at least a decade. This gave Peter Phillips and Steve Smith a head-start both in the technique of recording a cappella singing and in gaining experience with a single repertoire and one artist. This experience informs every one of the 50 albums and more which Gimell has produced.

Gimell and The Tallis Scholars together have devoted their careers to bringing a highly characterised ensemble 'sound' to the public through the greatest unaccompanied choral music. This has only been possible as a result of constantly refining and perfecting the raw materials which make up that sound. The result, built up over many years, has been a world-wide market for both their recordings and their concerts, now acknowledged as one of the UK's most impressive exports in the arts.
​
Gimell has a number of other firsts to its name. In 1984 it placed the first commercial order for Compact Discs with a UK manufacturer and in 1987 it won the Gramophone Record of the Year Award - the first independent label to receive this prestigious award.

Gimell由彼得·菲利普斯（Peter Phillips）和制片人史蒂夫·史密斯（Steve Smith）创立，专门从事《塔利斯学者》的制作和市场销售。

Gimell的第一张唱片于1980年3月22日至23日在牛津大学默顿学院教堂举行。Allegri的Miserere唱片，Mundy的Vox patris caelestis唱片和Palestrina的Missa Papae Marcelli唱片获得了即时的成功，在英国HMV古典音乐排行榜中排名第一。最近，它被英国广播公司（BBC）音乐杂志列为有史以来最伟大的五十首唱片之一。
​
近年来，单艺术家唱片公司已变得司空见惯：吉米尔（Gimell）是第一家，预测趋势至少十年。这使彼得·菲利普斯和史蒂夫·史密斯在记录无伴奏合唱的技巧以及获得单一曲目和一名艺术家的经验方面都处于领先地位。这种经历使Gimell制作的50张专辑中的每张专辑都受益。

Gimell和The Tallis Scholars共同致力于通过最伟大的无伴奏合唱音乐为公众带来高特色的合奏“声音”。这是由于不断完善和完善构成声音的原材料而导致的。经过多年的积累，其唱片和音乐会已成为一个全球市场，现已被公认为是英国最令人印象深刻的艺术出口之一。
​
Gimell的名字还有其他许多首创。1984年，它与一家英国制造商签订了第一个商业化光盘订单，并于1987年获得了“留声机年度最佳唱片奖”，这是第一个获得这一享有盛誉的独立唱片公司。
