Angel Records was a
record label founded by
EMI in 1953. It specialised in
classical music, but included an occasional operetta or Broadway score. The Angel mark was used by EMI, its predecessors, and affiliated companies since 1898. EMI's classical-music operations were sold to
Warner Music Group in 2013. The label is currently inactive since 2006, dissolving and reassigning Angel Records' artists and catalogues into its parent label
EMI Classics and musical theatre artists and catalogues into
Capitol Records. EMI Classics was sold and absorbed into
Warner Classics.
