Triples
3 CDs for the price of one.
EMI's Triple series represents a new level of value for money in a 3-CD format. Each set will be devoted to a single composer, or theme, and will contain either a collection of major works or complete works in themselves, making the series ideal for those wanting to start a classical collection or for those needing to fill gaps in an existing library.
The range of repertoire will be drawn from the incomparably extensive EMI and Virgin Classics back catalogues and be as wide and exciting as possible. Needless to say the artistic quality will be of the standard that has become synonymous with the names EMI and Virgin Classics.
