Classical music publisher Boosey & Hawkes has entered into an agreement with EMI Classics which will enable the publisher to offer one-stop music licences (ie publishing and recording rights) for classical works that the two companies have in common - ie where B&H own the publishing and EMI the recordings.
Natasha Baldwin, Head of Consultancy at Boosey & Hawkes, told CMU: "Representing the master recordings of such a venerable label as EMI Classics is extremely exciting. These are some of greatest recordings ever made and together with our huge range of publishing copyrights this agreement will allow us to present high quality sync packages to our clients".
Costa Pilavachi, President at EMI Classics, added: "All of us at EMI Classics look forward to the pleasure of working more closely with our friends at Boosey and Hawkes and to maximizing the natural synergies between our two companies".
