Bio:

"NMC has yet again put us in its debt by recording important music which none of the 'major' labels seem to have time for." (International Record Review)

Established with the aim of recording the best of contemporary British music to the highest artistic and technical standards, NMC Recordings – which celebrated the 20th anniversary of its first release in 2009 – was founded in 1988 with funding from the Holst Foundation and assistance from the Society for the Promotion of New Music. Following the success of two pilot releases the following year – Jonathan Harvey's Bhakti, and a disc of contemporary piano music performed by composer Michael Finnissy – NMC became an independent registered charity; it has since established itself as "Britain's most important producer of CDs of interesting new or recent and neglected work from this country" (The Sunday Times).

NMC's catalogue ranges from the compositions of Britain's younger, emerging talents — often their first recordings — to that of major established figures. The quality of the catalogue is reflected in the numerous awards and outstanding reviews which our recordings have received over the years.

  • Bio

    'Without NMC, I and many other composers would undoubtedly struggle to find such a level of support and commitment in a recording industry increasingly preoccupied with celebrity and quick profit. So, long may the good work continue! I shall be eternally grateful, both as composer and listener, for NMC's unique commitment to new British music.' STUART MACRAE (composer) NMC Recordings is a record label and registered charity, established in 1989 to record and promote the best in British contemporary classical music. It releases around ten titles per year -- divided between the main, full-price label, and Ancora, the mid-price label dedicated to reissuing important recordings previously released on other labels. NMC operates a non-deletion policy, so its catalogue stands as an archive of British contemporary music NMC has a catalogue of over 170 titles featuring 200 living British composers. Its recordings are available worldwide, in CD and digital format, through a network of international distributors and its own website www.nmcrec.co.uk, which since 2006 has also offered digital downloads. NMC is currently funded by Arts Council England, the Holst Foundation and private donors and trusts
