Conductors take a bow in new EMI series. (Classical news).
Careful attention to back catalogue has paid dividends for EMI Classics in recent years, with collectors and critics taking to the label's Great Recordings Of The Century and British Composers series.
The latest catalogue line, presented in co-production with artists' agents IMG, throws fresh light on the recorded legacies of some of the finest conductors of the pre- and post-war periods. Great Conductors Of The Twentieth Century rolls out with an initial release of 15 titles on February 18.
The collection is set to explore the work of 60 conductors, with star names and more obscure figures among the mix. Each title offers two discs to retail for the cost of one full-price issue.
Repertoire choice highlights the strengths of individual artists, with the range of premier commercial recordings boosted by licensing deals with a variety of radio stations, including DeutschlandRadio, Danish Radio, Bavarian Radio, Canadian Broadcasting, NHK Japan, NDR Hamburg, Sudwestrundfunk and Czech Radio. Tracks have also been licensed from Universal Classics, BMG, Sony Classical and Supraphon.
