Dorian also agreed to sell master recordings by organist Felix Hell back to the artist and to release him from his contract.

Dorian was founded in 1988 by Craig Dory, a mathematician and amateur recording engineer with a passion for capturing live concerts on record. Many of the label's recordings were made at the acoustically excellent Troy Savings Bank Music Hall. Dorian's artists include a number of Baroque ensembles, including Pittsburgh's Chatham Baroque, Quebec's Les Violons du Roy, and the Baltimore Consort.
