Universal Music to sell classical and jazz direct to users

NewsUniversal Music today launched a classical and jazz download site to sell its music direct to users.

The Universal Classics and Jazz catalogue offers music from artists such as Jose Carreras, Katherine Jenkins, Jamie Callum and John Coltrane as well as legendary recordings from imprints such as Decca, Philips, Verve and Impulse.

The site, classicsandjazz, will also offer soundclips and reviews of songs from reputable sources such as classical magazine 'The Gramaphone'. It will also feature messageboards to allow users to interact with each other.

Universal is planning to expand the site to offer videos of full ballets and operas over the coming months.

Dickon Stainer, MD of Universal Classics and Jazz, said, "The site will revolutionise consumers' access to these genres, and offer music not available anywhere else."
