Auvidis

Auvidis was a record label founded in 1976 by Louis Bricard. Along with its subsidiaries, it was acquired in 1998 by Naïve Records.[1]

During its existence, Auvidis acquired a number of subsidiary labels, such as Unidisc; the traditional and world music label Silex, founded by André Ricros and Philippe Krumm[2] in 1990; and the classical labels Astrée and Valois, both founded by Michel Bernstein, as well as the classical label Montaigne. Auvidis also created its own sub-imprints, such as Travelling, created in 1993 to develop soundtracks,[3] and Fontalis, created in 1997 to market the work of Jordi Savall (who later left to start his own label, Alia Vox).[4][5]
