The AGK label was founded on October 1, 1965. Its namesake and founder produced over 60 sound recordings until his death in December 2006. Axel-Gerhard Kühl, in addition to some choir productions, specialized in recording bells and organs to acoustically showcase churches. This guiding principle remains relevant from today's perspective and deserves to be continued. Bauer Studios has been doing so since acquiring the catalog in the fall of 2013.
