Not Explained” which combines music and commentary to in my wildest dreams did I expect Naxos to become the such intelligent effect. And there is a 7-CD set devoted to world’s leading label for classical repertoire. In many The Instruments of the Orchestra. countries, including the UK, it is also now the best-selling classical label. Another telling example of our intent to broaden and develop our remit is the commissioning of Sir Peter And Naxos is no longer just a ‘budget’ label - it was named Maxwell Davies to write 10 “Naxos Quartets”, the first of The 2005 Label of the Year at the 2005 Gramophone/ which appeared in late 2004, in a ground-breaking venture Classic FM Awards. which sees a composer writing and naming a series of works after a label. As of January 2006, our catalogue comprises over 3,000 releases and we add about fifteen new releases every month. That passion to develop the market extends to technology By the end of the year 2006, our catalogue will be close to too, and here we have a significant lead over others.

  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.
