Parnassus Arts Productions came into being in 1999. Dedicated to classical music, they act as both an artist agency and as a production company. Beyond working with musicians to shape their careers, they revive forgotten operas which, through both live performances and recordings, gain vital new currency with an ever-growing audience. The production of albums is an essential part of their activities, showcasing their artists and creating a wider audience for their performances in concert and opera. Parnassus Arts are involved with every aspect of their recording projects, from selecting the cast and initiating collaboration with record companies through to marketing and selling the albums. On their first release they present Leonardo Vinci’s Gismondo Re di Polonia with Max Emanuel Cencic singing the part of Gismondo. He is accompanied by singers like Yuriy Mynenko, Sophie Junker and Jake Arditti, and the {oh!} Orkiestra Historyczna.
