content: In 1956, Michael Stillman and his business partner Rose Rubin started Monitor Records in New York City. They sought to fill a gap they perceived in the music available to the American public--music from the then-Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc, and other parts of Europe. Monitor has more than 250 folk and classical music recordings in its catalogue.
