'''Cybele Records''' is a German record label based in [Düsseldorf](/source/D%C3%BCsseldorf), specializing in [classical music](/source/classical_music), namely [contemporary music](/source/Contemporary_classical_music).<ref name="MIZ" /> Founded in 1994, their motto is "Klassik der Zukunft" (Classics of the future), focused on contemporary composers and advanced recording technologies such as [Super Audio CD](/source/Super_Audio_CD) and [surround sound](/source/surround_sound).

== History ==
The company was founded in 1994 by {{ill|Ingo Schmidt-Lucas|de}} who planned to publish contemporary music, literature and rarely recorded piece (''Nischenrepertoire''), but also to present classical music in a new sound.<ref name="MIZ" /><ref name="Müller" /> Cybele published "portraits" of contemporary composers such as [Peter-Jan Wagemans](/source/Peter-Jan_Wagemans)<ref name="Wagemans" /> and [Graham Waterhouse](/source/Graham_Waterhouse), both in 2001.<ref name="Waterhouse" /><ref name="Culot" />

In 2004 they celebrated their 10th anniversary with a CD of works by various artists and composers.<ref name="Allmusic" /> They then began to publish ''Hörbücher'' ([audiobook](/source/audiobook)s) in a series ''Künstler im Gespräch'', with [Mirjam Wiesemann](/source/Mirjam_Wiesemann) talking to artists about their music. In 2009 the label was awarded the [ECHO Classic](/source/Echo_Music_Prize) for the audio book ''Die Prinzessin – Kindergeschichten, geschrieben und gesprochen von Arnold Schönberg''.<ref name="Müller" /> The edition of audio books received several awards, including in 2011 the prize for "Beste verlegerische Leistung" (best editorial achievement) of the [Deutscher Hörbuchpreis](/source/Deutscher_H%C3%B6rbuchpreis).<ref name="Hörbuch" />

In 2009 Cybele recorded a first volume of ''Piano Works During & After Russian Futurism'', played by Thomas Günther, including works by Nikolai Obuchov, [Ivan Wyschnegradsky](/source/Ivan_Wyschnegradsky) and [Sergei Protopopov](/source/Sergei_Protopopov). A second volume followed in 2014, with works by Arthur Vincent Lourie and Protopopov.<ref name="Berghaus" /> In 2016 they published the complete organ works of [Max Reger](/source/Max_Reger), played by [Martin Schmeding](/source/Martin_Schmeding) on thirteen different organs from the composer's time; the recording was selected as "recording of the month" (October) by MusicWeb International.<ref name="Clements" />
