Channel Classics Records is a record label from the Netherlands, specializing in classical music. The managing director and producer is C. Jared Sacks, who grew up in Boston. Sacks was schooled as a professional horn player at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music ^[1] and the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. ^[2] With fifteen years of experience in making music, Sacks decided to turn his hobby of making musical recordings into his work in 1987. ^[3] The record label started in 1990 and was called after the street where he lived at the time, the Kanaalstraat in Amsterdam. ^[4]

In 2006, Channel Classics began releasing records in Super Audio CD format by Chinese artists, including the China National Symphony Orchestra. ^[5]

Channel Classics Records released music from musicians like Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra, ^[6] Dejan Lazić, ^[7] Lavinia Meijer, ^[8] Rachel Podger ^[9] and Candida Thompson. ^[10]
