Removed an unfounded (and wrong) rumor regarding the site's catalog. I work for this company but am not trying to hijack the page for our purposes.).

ArkivMusic, Inc. is a Tennessee-based online classical music retailer, specializing in the distribution of CDs and DVDs.

ArkivMusic opened its online store in February 2002.[1]

In addition to their inventory of readily available CDs, the ArkivCD reissue program carried a selection of "on-demand" titles for items no longer in the catalogue. These titles, produced on CD-Rs, included licensed recordings that were previously unissued, or no longer in print, on CD.

In 2008, ArkivMusic was acquired by Steinway Musical Instruments.[2] In 2010, ArkivMusic started a record label focused, albeit not exclusively, on recordings by pianists in the Steinway Artist program. The label is named after Steinway & Sons.[3] In 2015, ArkivMusic was purchased by Naxos. The company is now "ArkivMusic, Inc.".

In December 2021, the website closed for maintenance until further notice. ArkivMusic launched a "New Release Shop" in 2022, along with a new site design. [4]
