The core collection covers every aspect of the lives and works of composers and authors, the concert halls and coffee houses where they worked, the societies they lived in - from Chopin to Chagall, Pink Floyd to Stalin,  Plato to Nabokov.

Not just Gustav Mahler, for example, but every musician he knew and fought with, all his friends and lovers, everywhere he lived, whatever he read and wore, his favourite places in the world.

Whether it’s a private moment from Mahler’s family album or a scene from the premiere of Der Rosenkavalier or Man on the Moon, it will be in the Lebrecht collection.

It also has an extensive archive for literature and historical personalities.
