Decca Newsletter - October 2013
Welcome all to another edition of the Decca Newsletter.
A lot happens in a month and we're very proud to be able to reveal to you a selection of completely new projects for you to enjoy, including a surprising (and breathtaking) new project from Gareth Malone and his new choir, Gareth Malone's Voices. Be sure to catch the first episode of our series of webisodes charting the coming together of this "watershed moment" in choral music.
We'd also like you to meet Jack Topping: a choirboy who, at only 11 years old is the youngest ever singer appointed as an Ambassador for Save The Children. And be sure to check out the new remix EP from Ludovico Einaudi featuring stunning reworkings of some of our favourite tracks from In A Time Lapse.
And as always there's much, much more, so relax with a cup of tea and discover something new to listen to today. Enjoy!

Gareth Malone - Voices
Following a frenzied few days of media activity, our favourite choirmaster Gareth Malone has revealed the long-awaited line up of his brand new choir following a nationwide search earlier this year. Not only has Gareth assembled the country's finest young talent, he is describing new album Voices as a "watershed moment" for choral singing. Click here to watch the video now.

Jack Topping - Wonderful World
Decca Records and Save The Children are proud to present Jack Topping, an 11-year old Catholic choirboy from Liverpool Met Cathedral Choir, and the youngest ever singer appointed as an Ambassador for the charity. Jack will be singing Tomorrow on the powerful Save the Children TV advertisement soon to be heard in millions of homes across the country in the lead up to Christmas. Not only is Jack featured on the advert, he is also involved with many of the fundraising activities run by the children's charity, and has seen the charity's work in South Africa where he visited schools, to see the important education programmes that it runs.

Ludovico Einaudi - The Remixes EP
You've already heard the incredible Experience (Starkey Remix) and some of you might even have found our secret YouTube upload last week featuring Greta Svabo Bech's fascinating reworking of the same track, to form Circles (click the screenshot above to listen). Now you can own the entire EP, featuring seven tracks in total including remixes of In A Time Lapse, Walk and Experience, and also featuring the stunning Starkey Remix as heard on the recent British Airways advertising campaign.

"This was the first song written on the album ... Brighton Beach was somewhere that I used to hang around in the 60s when I was 17. It's melancholy ... it's looking back on Brighton Beach ...
