NovAntiqua Records
Mario Sollazzo | Artistic director
Stefano Zanobini | Production manager

We are Mario Sollazzo, pianist, harpsichordist, conductor, composer, teacher of the Modena Conservatory, and Stefano Zanobini, principal violist of Orchestra della Toscana. And... yep, we have made music the main purpose of our life.
For this reason - founding NovAntiqua Records - we decided to share and promote all the music that moves our hearts, be it baroque and ancient music performed on historical instruments, music by contemporary composers, original and daring musical projects, passionate and engaging interpretations.

NovAntiqua is distributed by: Note-1 Music | Egea Music | Socadisc

NovAntiqua for costumers

NovAntiqua, founded and managed by passionate professional musicians, stands out for the dedication that characterizes each of its productions.

- Projects selected for their uniqueness | Only if it makes our soul vibrate, we decide to include a new project in our catalogue.

- Few but good | We limit the number of our publications to be able to dedicate ourselves to every aspect of production.

- Elegant packaging and engaging graphics | We decided to use plastic-free packaging, to combine maximum respect for the environment with a unique visual and tactile experience.

- Ears want to be pampered | As professional musicians we are sensitive to audio quality, which must be high.

- Our artists play and talk | Our musicians actively participate in every phase of the production; not only the music, but also texts and images will speak for them.

- Vinyls? Photobooks? Why not! Since we're a little crazy, we also offer rare products like newly released vinyl and photo books with CDs attached.

- Thematic focuses | Here you can find thematic series ranging from music banned by dictatorial regimes to the rediscoveries of 18th-century Tuscan composers, up to music for solo lute or contemporary music.

If you are a music enthusiast or simply a curios person, take a look at our catalogue!

NovAntiqua for artists

NovAntiqua, founded and operated by passionate professional musicians, understands exactly what musicians want.

- Is your project really cool? We are attracted by cool projects of high artistic value, in which musicians strongly believe and identify.

- Musicians must recognize themselves on their recordings | A recording project strongly involves musicians, so we believe it is right that musicians recognize themselves in the graphic, textual and audio outcome and we are committed to ensuring this happens.

- A welcoming home for new composers | We like the music of the past especially if hip, but the music of the present also excites us. This is why the NovAntiqua catalogue also offers a space to contemporary composers.

- CDs, Vinyls or Spotify? We like the physical product, we have created modern graphics and environmentally friendly packaging, we are open to the production of CDs or vinyls, but obviously we also take care of distribution on the main digital platforms. Indeed, sometimes we publish projects even only digitally!
