Telarc International Corporation is an American audiophile independent record label founded in 1977 by two classically trained musicians and former teachers, Jack Renner and Robert Woods. Based in Cleveland, Ohio, the label has had a long association with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the Cleveland Orchestra, as well as with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Although it started as a classical music label, Telarc has released jazz, blues and country music recordings.

Telarc is noted for the high quality of its recordings, encapsulated in the slogan "The Telarc Sound". Its audio engineers are highly regarded in the recording business and have led Telarc to over 50 Grammy Awards on its label and two others it distributes, Heads Up and MCG. Telarc was one of the first labels to record music with a 20-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) in the late 1980s and has used 24-bit formats since 1996. - wikipedia
