The Discophile label was founded by by Henri Screpel in France, offering a similar repertoire to other labels such as L'Anthologie Sonore, Classic and La Boîte à Musique. It generally published little-known pieces of the classic repertoire in small numbers, like other well-known music appreciation societies created in London in the '30s, such as the Scarlatti Society, the Beethoven Society, etc. Henri Screpel was also the label's sound engineer, producing series in collaboration with the pianist Marcelle Meyer, the Ensemble Couraud (as pictured), the Orchestra Hewitt, the Orchestra of Camera of Saarland (directed by Karl Riestenpart), the Végh Quartet etc. Other Discophile series featured the quartet music of Beethoven, Mozart and Schumann, in collaboration with music director Yves Nat."
