Hans Sikorski founded the Hamburg press in 1935 and after 1945 began acquiring the Western rights to Soviet composers locked out by the iron curtain. Through the 1950s and 60s the catalogue grew to cover the entire generation: Shostakovich, Khachaturian, Kabalevsky, Mosolov.
After 1989 the press picked up Schnittke, Gubaidulina, Pärt for German distribution, and the Georgian voice Kancheli. Sikorski remains the international publisher of the Soviet and Russian concert canon.
