Alfred Scholz was a somewhat enigmatic figure in the world of classical music recording, particularly noted for his contributions to the budget LP and CD market. Operating primarily in the latter half of the 20th century, Scholz was known to work under various pseudonyms and to lead orchestras in performances that were often released without clear credits. Given the somewhat obscure nature of his career and the confusion around the identities of orchestras and musicians he conducted, Scholz's biography is not as well-documented as those of many of his peers.

What is known, however, is that Scholz specialized in the recording of Romantic and late-Romantic repertoire, as evidenced by his recorded releases, which include works by Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Beethoven, Liszt, Strauss, and Schubert. Often his recordings have been re-released under different names and labels, which has led to much speculation and some controversy over their authenticity and provenance. Despite the mystery that surrounds Alfred Scholz, his name remains attached to a substantial body of recorded classical music, which continues to be widely distributed and listened to by classical music enthusiasts around the world.
