Specialist classical music streamer, Idagio is to offer the entire Warner Classics and Erato catalogue.
The Idagio streaming service, which already comprises over 650,000 tracks, will now include all the recent releases from the Warner Classics and Erato labels as well as recordings originally issued on EMI Classics, Teldec (now Warner Classics) and Virgin Classics (now Erato).
The albums to be made available in the coming weeks encompass reference recordings of legacy artists such as Maria Callas, Yehudi Menuhin, Leonard Bernstein and Herbert von Karajan as well as more recent milestone releases from the likes of Itzhak Perlman, Martha Argerich, Philippe Jaroussky, Joyce DiDonato and Sir Simon Rattle.
Among the major new releases to be featured on Idagio is Warner Classics’ critically acclaimed Complete Works of Claude Debussy, released for the centenary of the composer’s death. The Meet Debussy playlist can be accessed here.
As part of the partnership agreement between the two companies, Idagio will feature exclusive playlists curated by Warner Classics and will work closely with the label to provide an engaging classical listening experience for the streamer’s users.
The partnership represents an exciting new development in Warner Classics’ digital strategy and marks an important milestone for Idagio and its mission to create the best streaming service for classical music.
