Classics for Pleasure
The nation's favourite budget CD label.
Launched in 1970, Classics for Pleasure soon became the biggest-selling and best-loved UK classical budget label.
The CFP mantra was always the same - make top quality recordings of the most popular classical music, played by the best British artists and orchestras...and then sell them at a price that makes them accessible to all.
Classics for Pleasure soon became the first port of call for newcomers to classical music who appreciated the quality and affordability of the recordings and the new musical world that opened out before them. Indeed, an amazing number of music lovers say their first-ever classical LP was a Classics for Pleasure one!
