Sculpting sound
since 1929
ENJOY A PERFORMANCE,
NOT A RECORDING
We unearth lost treasures from our archive. In partnership with MQA and Dolby, we then capture the nuance of every single note in stereo recordings and immersive mixes shepherded by original engineers. Behind each great musician lies years of dedication and skill. We safeguard their legacy in sound.
LISTENING
AS THE ARTIST
INTENDED
The Decca Player offers a journey through an artist’s entire creative output, tailored to their unique body of work and attuned to the nuances of classical and jazz repertoire. Complete recordings, unseen photographs, seamless navigation and high-quality playback hardware come together on a bespoke portable player to let you experience the music as the artist would have wished.
PAVAROTTI & LINLEY:
LIFE IN ART
Fusing home entertainment with fine furniture, Life in Art celebrates Italian style, opera and Pavarotti’s little-known passion: oil painting. The limited edition LINLEY art case is presented over dinner at the Pavarotti residence in Modena. Featuring marquetry inspired by his paintings and containing rare prints, artist’s tools and a music player with every note he recorded for Decca – over 130 hours of music.
MUSIC’S MOST
DISCERNING
AUDIENCE
Whether for a longstanding passion project or a bespoke gift, we work with committed supporters of the arts on their musical and creative passions. From privately commissioned works to bespoke recordings, performances in special locations to one-off collaborations, no two assignments are alike.
THE
NEXT
GENERATION
Who will captivate the listeners of tomorrow? Our 2019 charitable partnership with the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation perpetuates the singer’s wish to bring classical music and opera to young people. The Foundation supports coaching and performance opportunities for singers at the start of their careers.
