History
Crisler Music was founded in the 1960s by Christine Leroux, a French music publisher who moved to Italy. Leroux was the first publisher to collaborate with and help launch the career of Lucio Battisti, one of Italy's most influential singer-songwriters. In the 1980s, Romolo Ferri, with the collaboration of Rosaria Tranquillo, decided to purchase Crisler Music. Under Ferri's ownership, the company expanded its repertoire by launching new talents and producing Italian and international artists. It quickly became part of a leading group in its sector, comprising Crisler Music Publishing, Pull Music Publishing, and Soul Trade Music Publishing Group. Over the years, the group has been awarded numerous gold records. Its catalogue includes productions by major Italian artists such as Nicola Di Bari, Severino Gazzelloni, Mia Martini, Katia Ricciarelli, Eugenio Finardi, Marcella Bella, Gianni Bella, Raffaella Carrà, Donatella Rettore, Ivana Spagna, Fiordaliso, Loredana Bertè, Giuseppe Di Stefano, José Carreras, Cugini di campagna, I Ricchi e Poveri, Pupo, Franco Simone, Le Orme, Pino D'Angiò, Pierangelo Bertoli, and many others. On the international market, the company has collaborated with artists including Dionne Warwick, Gino Vannelli, Randy Crawford, Bryan Adams, Tony Adley, Dominic Miller, Ronnie Jones, Patti Austin, Billy Cobham, Billy Preston, Queen, Buddy Miles, Gipsy Kings, Brian Auger, Chaka Khan, Eumir Deodato, Al Jarreau, Rick Wakeman, and Stanley Jordan. The group also collaborated for more than a decade in organizing the Christmas concert at the Vatican. More recently, Crisler Music has been involved in film soundtracks, such as 'L'isola del perdono' (The Island of Forgiveness), presented at the 44th Cairo International Film Festival in 2022, with music produced by Kevin Ferri for Soul Trade Music Publishing, composed by Marco Werba, and recorded by the English Session Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios. The company also operates RFTVWEB, a multimedia platform featuring interviews, insights, and interactive content on music, travel, painting, and theatre.
