The magnificent mezzo-soprano Joyce Di Donato has renewed her longterm record contract with Virgin Classics, shrugging off interest from rivals. Virgin is part of wobbly EMI, but there’s nothing uncertain about Joyce. Loyal to her label allies, she’s in for the duration.
happy with Joyce’s confidence in EMI/Virgin Classics and that the wonderful
adventure we embarked upon some years ago will continue with many other
remarkable projects. Since her first recordings with Virgin Classics, Joyce’s
fame has grown internationally and we are very proud that she is now one of the
most sought after opera singers.”
