During the 1960s through the 1980s, they were Angel's low-price label; recordings that had originally been released on the Angel label were re-released at a bargain price on the Seraphim label. The very first release was of
stereophonic recordings bySir Thomas Beecham and theRoyal Philharmonic Orchestra , including several pieces previously unreleased.The label has specialized in historic recordings, including some originally released on 78-rpm discs. In 1967, Seraphim issued some of the 1937-39 recordings by
Arturo Toscanini and theBBC Symphony Orchestra . Some opera recordings were released, includingPietro Mascagni 's historic 1940 recording of his opera "Cavalleria rusticana ", complete with the original spoken introduction (in Italian) by the composer.EMI still uses the marque for CDs consisting of re-released music recorded during the LP era, primarily in stereo. Some early digital recordings have also been reissued on the label.See also
