Adagio (budget Australian classical label, releases credit fake conductors and orchestras)
~ Label
Annotation
Associated with the Australian label TripleD— they both release the same classical recordings with fake conductors and orchestras (or at least appropriate the names of actual ones for fake credits). The same fake barcode (9314223000022) is used on all the label's releases.
Looking at the Acoustic IDs, or electronic fingerprint of recordings from this label is a useful way to investigate their legitimacy. By looking at the track's Acoustic ID it may sometimes be seen that the same recording is credited differently on different releases and/or labels. For example, the track "The Blue Danube Waltz" is credited to the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Carl Fleming on the Adagio AD 002 release. By looking at its Acoustic ID we can see that the same recording is credited to the Ukrainian Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Peter Machevski on the Triple DDD7CD release and on another Adagio release!
Similarly, the track "The Emperor Waltz" is credited to the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Carl Fleming on the Adagio AD 002 release. By looking at its Acoustic ID we can see that the same recording is credited to the Estonian Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Thomas Filbert on the Adagio AD 022 release by the same label! We can also see that the "no-name" label with the catalog number SR 32 is another associated label with both Adagio and Triple D.
Similarly, the track "Waltz from Swan Lake" is credited to the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Carl Fleming on the Adagio AD 002 release, but if we look at its Acoustic ID we can see that the same recording is credited to the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Siegfried Kurz on the Adagio AD 023 release by the same label!
