The clue is in the name. It's very difficult to avoid Universal Music or their many subsidiary labels in the world of music, both classical and pop.
Sam Smith's 2014 album, In The Lonely Hour, was released through Universal Music. Florence and The Machine's 2009 album, Lungs was released on Island, part of Universal. Both are to be performed again live as part of the BBC 2024 Proms season.
BBC Radio 3 Controller Sam Jackson came to the BBC in April 2023, after just over three years as Executive Vice President, Global Classics and Jazz, Universal Music Group.
He spent 15 years with Classic FM. In 2014, Classic FM launched "Composed", an app streaming classics from Decca and Deutsche Grammophon, part of Universal; it closed in 2016. Decca became Classic FM's CD publishing partner, moving away from Sony BMG.
