NMC Recordings is a record label with charitable status, devoted to the promotion of contemporary classical music from the British Isles. Our award-winning recordings are of the highest quality and feature major international artists. With a catalogue of more than 250 titles, encompassing major established figures and new voices, NMC is rapidly becoming a national archive for new music. In 2015 NMC was the first organisation to receive the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Leslie Boosey Award for “its outstanding contribution to the furthering of contemporary music in Britain”. NMC arose almost more by chance than by design. Imogen Holst and Colin Matthews had set up the Holst Foundation in 1984 with the aim of supporting the work of living composers. A significant concert of contemporary music at the Aldeburgh Festival in 1987, funded entirely by the Foundation, attracted a full house, but was not broadcast and so was heard by only 800 people. This led Colin Matthews to propose that recordings were the ideal way to reach a larger audience. The Holst Foundation has been the major funder of NMC ever since our inception in 1989.
