SUISA

Yes. To record musical works that are still under copyright you must first obtain the author's consent. In Switzerland and Liechtenstein, the legal protection period runs for 70 years after the author's death.

Nearly all authors in Switzerland and abroad have entrusted SUISA with the administration of their rights in Switzerland and in Liechtenstein. So SUISA can grant a recording licence on the author’s behalf against payment of the corresponding royalty, which it passes on. You must notify SUISA before you produce any recording, or before you have any recording produced.
