Transition in the PGP-RTB/PGP-RTS Reflected in the Classical Music Editions

Abstract

This paper deals with the production of classical music records in the Yugoslav label PGP-RTB/PGP-RTS since its foundation in 1968 up to the present. The paper focuses on differentiation of editions released before and during the political, economic and cultural transitions in the ’90s. Last decades of the twentieth century also marked the technological transition from analog to digital recordings. Changes and continuities reflected in the editorial policy (as read from the released recordings) served as a marker of different transitions happening at that time.
