EMI Classics

EMI Classics was a renowned record label specializing in classical music, founded by EMI in 1917. It was known for producing high-quality recordings of famous orchestras, opera, and solo performances, often featuring prominent artists. The label helped popularize and preserve classical music, making it accessible to a broad audience. In 2012, EMI Classics was absorbed into Universal Music Group’s Decca Classics, ending its independent operations but continuing its legacy of classical recordings under the new branding.
