Our History
The name Hungaroton virtually equals Hungarian record production. As one of Europe's most reputable labels, our catalogue features the play, voice and works of nearly every important artist of the past 70 years. Our aim is to record the play of the next generation of great Hungarian artists who have already achieved international fame despite their young age. From time to time however, we deem it important to introduce our legendary recordings and treasures to newer generations of music listeners through new releases and modern platforms.
