The Future of Classical Music Recordings ...

... is largely in the hands of the man who attracted Taylor Swift, Queen and The Eagles to Universal Music Group.

Max Hole was made CEO of UMG's Classical Music Division ... which already included Decca Classics label and Deutsch Grammophon and, since 2012, EMI. UMG produces one in three of all recordings sold today.
