Record Corner is one of the few remaining independent record dealers in the U.K. that specialises in Classical music.

As well as the best recordings from the major record companies we also stock the best from the smaller specialist labels such as Hyperion, Herald, Bis, Harmonia Mundi, Dutton, Regis, etc.

Classical music does not have to cost a fortune, many of the best performances are on mid priced or budget labels. Our specialist staff are happy to offer independent advice on classical music and recommend recordings.

If you visit our classical department in person you can browse through our extensive stock or search for that 'special recording' in the Gramophone Catalogue or the Penguin Guide to Recommended Recordings.

We also have an extensive selection of the best in Jazz.
