Gramola

Gramola is an Austrian independent record label based in Vienna. It was founded in 1924, as an offshoot of the British-Czech record producer of the same name.

The company is the oldest record label in Austria and operates as a family company in the fourth generation.

The Austrian Gramola focuses on classical music. It initially focused on Austrian composers and foreign composers living in Austria such as Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Schubert. However, nowadays the company works on CD production and the promotion of young Austrian musicians, or foreign musicians currently living in Austria.

Gramola produces and releases up to 70 new albums every year, mainly of Austrian artists. Gramola currently works with exil.arte, an organization dedicated to the discovery, research, and preservation of works by Austrian composers and musicologists who were persecuted, exiled, or murdered during the National Socialism era.

In 2024, the Austrian national public broadcaster ORF reported on the 100th anniversary of the company, which has since made an international name for itself and has recordings.
