Musica Omnia is an American record label specializing in classical music. The label was founded in 2000 by Peter Watchorn,[1] and through 2007, most issues were produced by him.[2] Although specializing in early music, the label has also released compositions by such contemporary composers as Julian Wachner.[3] In 2002 the label was the winner of the New York Times Critic's Award, and subsequently acquired Record of the Year from Musicweb in both 2006 and 2009.[4] Big Daddy Records was the initial distributor[1] but the label switched to distribution by Naxos in 2014.[4] The label's initial goal was to provide liner notes of superior educational value.[1]
