The classical channel features public domain audio recordings in ready-to-play quality without additional post-processing. The musical genres include orchestral and symphonic music, chamber music, as well as vocal and stage music.


The core of the Carl Flisch-Aghayan collection features classical music spanning from the Baroque era to the 20th century, encompassing diverse musical forms such as chamber, dance, orchestral, and sacred or secular vocal music, alongside performing arts and piano pieces. Jazz and swing music constitute the second-largest segment. During his business travels in the 1990s across the Middle East and West Africa, Flisch-Aghayan began collecting rare ethnic vocal recordings and folk music. In the 2000s, he systematically started acquiring the earliest sound recordings, focusing primarily on phonograph cylinders from Edison and Pathé. In 2016, Memoriav classified this cylinder collection as highly valuable and worthy of protection. Flisch-Aghayan discovered all kinds of rarities at record fairs and flea markets in Australia, Canada, England, and the United States. However, his attempt to export a custom-made salon horn for an Edison Triumph phonograph to Europe failed due to local airline regulations in Amarillo, Texas.
