Snakewood Editions is an independent record label and a publishing house specialized in baroque music. We seek to offer a high quality result, fleeing the market standards. Some of our guidelines are the recording of unknown repertoire and the support of our recordings with extensive musicological material. Our musical editions are made by and for musicians, combining musicological fidelity and interpretative practicality.

The making of a baroque bow is an art that requires high artistic and technical skills and a good knowledge of ancient practices. Likewise, the editions and recordings of Snakewood Editions are crafted with a balanced combination of all these qualities.
