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.

Editor, Stereophile
It sure is, what a shame!
What do you expect when this happens?
"At one point Decca signed a sex-change Paddington street-walker,
plucked off a BBC reality show where she was seen playing the piano."
Oh the shame..
That more than counterbalances the Decca library.
