NEOS Music GmbH Munich NEOS is a new label for contemporary music, launched in mid-May 2007. The focus of the new releases is on compositions from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, many of which are world premiere recordings. In order to achieve a high level of artistic and editorial quality, great value is placed on selecting the performers and collaborating exclusively with renowned ensembles and cultural institutions. The new label NEOS (Greek for "new") is the responsibility of Wulf Weinmann, who was previously the owner and label manager of col legno. NEOS will release approximately twenty-five CDs and SACDs a year. Varied in his interests, Weinmann is constantly seeking out discoveries in the wilds of New Music. He considers himself particularly fortunate to have arranged future collaborations with long-standing partners such as the Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt (IMD), the Donaueschingen Festival of the SWR and musica viva (Bayerischer Rundfunk). As a confessed lover of the arts Weinmann places great importance on the technical quality of the recordings and their visual presentation. All of the productions will be released in attractive Digipacks with extensive textual information.
