I am incredibly excited to be releasing the premiere recording of Giordano’s first and forgotten opera ‘Marina’ this July!

Lost for almost 140 years, it is an incredible opportunity to be able to perform the world premiere of an opera composed over a century ago and I am tremendously excited to create the role of Giorgio for the first time alongside so many of my incredible colleagues and musicians.

You can stream the first single "Conobbi appena mia madre" now wherever you normally listen 🎶

Spring Songs, Part 3 🌸

A late-spring showcase featuring music that captures the light, warmth and renewal of May.

160 years of Erik Satie ✨

Sparse, strange and quietly radical, Satie’s piano music changed the atmosphere of the 20th century. From the stillness of the Gymnopédies to the mystery of the Gnossiennes, his sound world remains instantly recognisable.

10 years on from BBC Young Musician 2016 🎶

A final that introduced a new generation of classical stars — including Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Jess Gillam.

From that stage to the world stage, their journeys continue to inspire.

Seiji Ozawa’s daughter Seira unboxes a very special new release ✨

Mixed and mastered from the original Philips quadraphonic tapes, this 1975 recording of Dvořák’s New World Symphony captures Ozawa with the San Francisco Symphony during a defining early chapter of his career.

For this new edition, Rainer Maillard at Emil Berliner Studios has created a fresh stereo mix directly from the original four-track quadraphonic master tape, preserving a pure analogue path all the way to the cutter head.

A remarkable recording, newly reissued for a new generation of listeners.

Seiji Ozawa and the San Francisco Symphony

Making his North American debut with the ensemble in 1962, Ozawa was appointed Music Director in 1970, a role he held until 1977. He brought a vitality that helped redefine the orchestra’s identity. As Barack Obama later observed, “with his mop haircut, and his turtlenecks, and his love beads, he almost looked like a Beatle”. Performances took on a new sense of occasion, and audiences grew significantly whilst the orchestra’s visual identity evolved through bold, contemporary design. Musicians frequently noted Ozawa’s clarity and physicality, which made complex scores effortless. Under his leadership, the San Francisco Symphony returned to the recording studio, signed with major international labels, and undertook its first European tour in decades.

Ozawa’s history with San Francisco formed an integral chapter in his illustrious career. His 1975 recording of Dvořák’s New World Symphony with the SFO explores one part of this chapter and has been newly remastered as part of Decca Pure Analogue, available now.
