Ermitage

Ermitage is one of the most long-lasting brands of the independent classical discography. Born in the mid-eighties with the publication of some vinyl records by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, it later released CDs of the world’s leading opera, symphonic and chamber artists.

Along with names such as *Rubinstein*, *Callas*, *Pollini*, *Benedetti Michelangeli* and *Segovia*, over the years the label’s production - distributed in Europe, Japan and the USA - has expanded to artists such as Lucio Dalla, Eugenio Finardi or Stefano Bollani.

In addition to CD titles, Ermitage offers for some years reissues in vinyl 180 grams of jazz classics (with names such as John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Chet Baker), classical music (Italian Quartet, I Musici and others) and of Italian songwriting (Endrigo, Gaber, Jannacci,Tenco) with remarkable success. With a library of over 400 titles marketed on its own and under license, Ermitage also produces editorial series for important Italian newspapers such as Il Corriere della Sera and La Repubblica and for other editorial groups such as Mondadori,RCS,Hobby & Work.

Joni Mitchell is a Canadian musician, songwriter, and painter born on November 7, 1943, in Fort Macleod, Alberta. She began her career singing in small nightclubs in Western Canada and then busking on the streets of Toronto. In the mid-1960s, she moved to New York City and became famous as both a songwriter and singer. Her personal album "Blue" was ranked #30 on Rolling Stone magazine's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list. Mitchell's music evolved over time, incorporating jazz influences and addressing social and environmental themes. She is also an accomplished visual artist.

Throughout her career, Joni Mitchell has collaborated with renowned jazz musicians such as Pat Metheny, Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, Herbie Hancock, and Charles Mingus. Her unique guitar style and complex piano arrangements set her apart from other artists of her time.

In recent years, Mitchell has focused more on painting but released her first album of new songs in nine years titled "Shine" in 2007. Despite reducing her recording and touring schedule since the 1980s, she remains a highly influential figure in the music industry.
