Proper Music Distribution has signed a deal with Dutch record company New Arts International (NAI) to work with a number of classical music labels.

The likes of MDG, ABC Classics, Australian Eloquence, Kairos, New World Records and Canadian label Atma Classique, which will be releasing a new recording of Schubert’s Piano Sonatas by recent BBC Music Magazine Award winner Janina Fiaklowsk, will now be distributed via Proper Music Distribution.

According to the distributor, archival repertoire will also be represented by a selection of historical labels including Andromeda, Myto, Archipel, Preiser Records and Opera D’Oro.

Drew Hill, Proper Music Distribution managing director, said: With New Arts’ labels alongside our existing roster of classical labels such as ECM, Avie and Challenge Classics, we now have an even greater selection of quality catalogue to offer our customers and an opportunity to grow our classical business further.

‘It is also a great privilege and benefit to be working with Ginny Cooper who commands such incredible respect from everyone in the classical industry.’

Proper Music is now one of the largest independent distributors in the UK with annual sales of more than £25m.
