MDT

MDT, the specialist and rare classical music mail order company, markets and delivers over 56,000 classical music CDs, DVDs and other media formats. The Internet is increasingly being used to research and source classical music and MDT has the widest possible range of music from all the major and specialised labels - the "Amazon" of classical music.

With such a large and growing inventory, coupled with a knowledgeable and global clientele, MDT's particular challenge was to make it fast and easy to find that special piece of music.
