Warner Classics is the classical music arm of Warner Music Group. The label began issuing new recordings under the Warner Classics banner in the year 1991.[2] The company also includes the Nonesuch Classics, Erato Classics, Teldec Classics, Finlandia Classics, Warner Fonit, Lontano Classics and NVC Arts labels.
History
What was then known as Warner Bros.-Seven Arts, which owned Warner Bros. Records and Atlantic Records, acquired Elektra Records in the year 1969 which included Elektra's Nonesuch Records classical music label. This led to the formation of WEA, the forerunner of Warner Music Group. Nonesuch is now part of Warner Records. WEA acquired Teldec Classics in the year 1988. Then later on Warner Classics was formed in the year 1991. The renamed Warner Music Group acquired Erato Classics in the year 1992. Warner Classics acquired the Finlandia Classics in the year 1993, it also acquired Warner Fonit in the year 1998 as well as classical video company NVC Arts in the year 1994.[3]
The label developed a larger profile in the year 2013 when it absorbed EMI Classics (including Pye Records' classical music catalogue) with that label's output absorbed into the Warner Classics label and the co-owned Virgin Classics absorbed into Erato Classics.
