\»With 111 years of history behind it, Deutsche Grammophon remains the world\’s largest and proudest classical music label. Since its 100th anniversary eleven years ago, it has continued to thrive in an especially challeg global environment for recorded music. For me, in nearly two decades of leading the worldwide classical-music business for Universal, it has been a huge but rewarding challenge to help guide this great label into the future. Deutsche Grammophon continues to flourish because it has never lost sight of its underlying philosophy: Support the artist with the means to make great music and deliver this great music to the public in a beautiful package with creative ideas.\» Christopher Roberts President Classics and Jazz Universal Music Group International

For me, Deutsche Grammophon\’s anniversary also represents an exceptionally fruitful collabo-ration between artist and record label. I congratulate Deutsche Grammophon\’s great team on this unique anniversary — may they continue to bring unprecedented beauty to the ears of the world. Anne-Sophie Mutter

In the world of classical music, Deutsche Grammophon\’s Yellow Label has long been acknowl-edged as a symbol of high quality, and it still is today. My own relationship with the company, although not exclusive, has been an extremely productive one, and it has been going on for about forty percent of Deutsche Grammo­phon\’s 111-year history! Pl?cido Domingo

My earliest musical memories are my mother playing the piano and the sounds from my parents\’ record collection. Those records, mainly Deutsche Grammophon LPs, were both my conserva-tory and the gates to a magic world of possibility in sound and drama. When listening to them as a child growing up in a small town in Argentina in the 1960s, I was in the house, in the world, but in another world as well. This form of ritual listening has changed with the new technologies, but I will cherish it forever, as a key experience of my early life and one that also shaped me as an adult. I feel profoundly grateful for those memories, and honoured to have my music now part of the DG world. Osvaldo Golijov

What makes DG such a special record company It\’s much more than an impressive history, tradition and catalogue. It\’s the people at the label who carry the torch into the future and make up a real family and creative home for so many of today\’s musicians. Everyone in this team im-plements a strong and courageous vision with total dedication and energy — not only physical and mental, but often emotional as well. For that is truly what makes the difference: they engage their hearts to create a fertile and inspiring environment for us musicians. Congratulations on this remarkable anniversary and many happy returns. H?l?ne Grimaud

It is a great honour for me to join DG\’s family of exceptional musicians and singers, and to be part of a label which has an extremely rich history and tradition. For me, DG is also a testimony of past and future generations and I would like to carry on this tradition. Patricia Petibon

Since I came to Deutsche Grammophon, my life has been one exciting musical challenge after another. And my record company is always by my side to capture every moment for listeners and viewers everywhere. Thank you, DG, and Happy Birthday! Anna Netrebko

Deutsche Grammophon has given me and the Sim?n Bol?var Youth Orchestra of Venezuela incredible opportunities and encouragement. Thank you, DG, and congratulations on another milestone anniversary. Gustavo Dudamel
