"Introducing the exclusive release, ""John Boyden, a Celebration,"" a tribute to a lifelong journey in classical music—a journey that began in the recording industry where John served as an executive and distinguished producer. His ground-breaking venture, Classics for Pleasure, achieved an extraordinary feat by selling four million classical recordings in just four years. Following this success, John assumed the role of the inaugural Managing Director of the London Symphony Orchestra during a challenging phase in its history. Subsequently, he went on to establish multiple independent classical record companies and the New Queen’s Hall Orchestra, committed to reviving the performance styles of the early twentieth century. This album features two iconic recordings produced by John Boyden and a captivating new rendition of Schubert's Piano Quintet in A major, D. 667 (“Die Forelle/The Trout”), performed by the New Queen’s Hall Orchestra. ""John Boyden, a Celebration"" pays homage to one of the British music industry’s most esteemed individuals, ensuring his legacy resonates with classical music enthusiasts. Dedicated with kind permission to H.M. The Queen, the patron of the New Queen’s Hall Orchestra, a testament to the profound impact of John's contributions to the world of classical music.
