| Title: | Hungaroton Classic (Record Label) | |
| Alternative Title: | ||
| Description: | Modern Hungarian record publishing started in 1951 when the state established the Hungarian Record Company (MHV). The private record companies had first been owned by Hungarians and later by international companies and were then replaced by the monopoly state company. From then on, for nearly forty years, the only competition for the Hungarian company was from labels of the Socialist countries, above all Melodia, Supraphon and Eterna. Due to this situation, the outstanding artists of Hungarian classical and light music as well as the best actors recorded for Hungaroton and a valuable archive of more than ten thousand titles came into being. From the mid sixties, export increased and the company changed its brand name from Qualiton to Hungaroton. Qualiton remained as the label for gipsy and operetta music products and from the seventies, for certain reasons of marketing policy, independent light music labels were started within the company: Pepita, Bravó, Krém. | |
