Description

In almost exactly one month’s time, the Swedish label BIS will hand over its Label of the Year status to another company. So, to celebrate its 2023 Award, Gramophone’s James Jolly sat down to talk with BIS’s founder and guiding spirit for past 50 years, Robert von Bahr.

In this first of two podcasts, James and Robert discuss the label’s beginnings, some of its milestone projects and Robert shares some anecdotes as only he can.

This podcast was made in association with BIS.
