Publishers Information

Carisch was founded in 1887 by Giovanni Andrea Carisch and Arturo Jänichen for trade and import of instruments and musical scores. After a few years after the birth, in 1894, his sons Otto and Adolfo, the activity extends to publishing his own music until the creation in 1949, the work of Alberto Carisch, a record company founded with the intention of giving an outlet to record the songs published by his own publishing house.

Became over time one of the major labels in the early sixties, reaching its climax with the successes of Peppino di Capri and distribution in Italy of Beatles records. However, at the end of the sixties, a period of crisis and, in the Eighties, Maurizio Carisch, a member of the fifth generation, relaunches the company with a new management team and business that develops a new policy to edit music.

They remember the successes of those years as the collections of the music of the Festival of Sanremo or the monographs of great popularity such as Sugar, to get to this day to Vasco Rossi, Ligabue, Bocelli, Pausini, Ramazzotti and many others. Even the focus on classical music persists and continues to increase the production of musical scores of great composers such as Sergio Calligaris.

In 1989 Maurizio Carisch decides to sell the property of the company to Warner Chappell Music Italian that keeps unchanged the group dirigentee commercial and begins a new phase marked by the process of internationalization.

The property remains in the hands of Warner until 2002, when the Monzino Group acquires Carisch, who acknowledges a history of success perpetuated over the centuries and a long tradition handed down from father to son. This strategic decision is based on two assessments: the before the will to resume the traditions of family Monzino who had developed the publishing activity since 1772, the date of birth of Giacomo Antonio Monzino, famous composer of the time, abandoned in the sixties; the second from the awareness of being able to assist the publishing the distribution of musical instruments, transferring know-how consolidated over generations.
