Breaking: Sony steal glittering prize from DG
mainIn its second swoop of the week, predatory Sony Classical has poached the world’s most prestigious string quartet from rivals Deutsche Grammophon.
The Emerson Quartet will open this November with a Mozart release.
Their output on DG has slowed of late and their relationship with head office has become more distant than it used to be.
Sony are crowing that they have snatched the ‘pre-eminent’ string quartet. A video interview has been posted on the Sony Classical window, ariama, ahead of tomorrow’s press release.
