Sad news, given the English company's pioneering work,
including the first and still in some ways the best complete Ring,
and the first Petrouchka on LP. Somewhere in my tape archive
I have a private recording of an orchestral piece the late Antal
Dorati wrote on the notes D.E.C.C.A.

Thanks, John. I was going to post on this yesterday, but I hadn't
gotten to it. It is sad news. Such a great library, both in the most
important sense (the music) and the related way (the sound). Ansermet,
D'Oyly Carte, et al. The Speakers Corner and Classic Records reissues
are great too.

Sigh...
