Jack Renner, co-founder and former president of the Telarc record label, a favorite among classical music audiophiles and an early adopter of the compact disc, died on June 19 at his home in Rhode Island following a battle with cancer.
The eastern Ohio native started his music career as a trumpeter and school teacher but later turned his attention to audio engineering and in 1977 started Telarc in Cleveland withThe label quickly gained a reputation for its superior sound quality and released recordings of various classical ensembles, including the Cleveland Orchestra, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.
On challenges facing independent labels, especially ones with a specialized focus such as Telarc, Renner said, "We don't have a Madonna to sell, or anything that's usually dangled in front of buyers. And there are times when a product can really do well for us is hidden more than it should be." The label was widely known for embracing newer recording techniques, such as the direct-to-disc method over traditional tape. According to Renner, Telarc made history in the late 1970s with the first commercial digital recording of symphonic music in the U.S., featuring the Cleveland Symphonic Winds.
Renner personally earned 11 Grammy Awards over the course of his career as a sound engineer, while Telarc has won dozens more., and in 2005 both smaller labels were acquired by Concord Records, where they continue to operate. Renner left Telarc soon after the acquisition. For three decades he also taught audio at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
