What's Been Going On With Passionato

E-mail Print PDF

Dear Passionato Customer:

Over the past few months, many of you have written, tweeted or posted about our site. I wanted to reach out to you today to tell you about the future of Passionato, and to invite you to participate in our future.

In July 2011, Passionato purchased one of America’s most respected and well-known sources of classical music recordings, the Musical Heritage Society. Since that time, we have been involved with making Musical Heritage Society a better source of the classical music you and I love.

We did this very much in response to your feedback to us, and the lessons we have learned about the classical music marketplace in this current, unusual phase. We have seen that the classical music lover still loves to buy “physical” product – that is, CDs, DVDs and LPs – as well as download high-quality music files.

Today we are contacting you with an offer to become a member of Musical Heritage Society. We’ve put together some great offers to try and convince you that now is the time to join MHS – at the start of many positive changes for this fine organization. Click here to see the offer – and you’ll be on your way to saving money on the music you love.

The newest Musical Heritage Society catalog features Deutsche Grammophon and Decca titles for the first time in many years, and we are pleased that nearly every other important major and independent label will be available on the site very soon. By becoming a member you can save on over 200 DG and Decca titles today, as well as BIS’ Sibelius Edition and other new releases of note.

On the digital side, we will soon have the entire DG and Decca catalogs available, and we will begin offering several new labels in November 2011.

We apologize for “going dark” for a while – we hope that we can now serve our Passionato customers via Passionato.com and the Musical Heritage Society. We will work now to offer the best music in whatever form our customers demand.

 

Countries of business (if you are getting N/A for prices on the site)

We recently added to our home page a list of countries where you can download from Passionato. We want to make sure that before you surf our site, and start to add titles into your shopping cart that you know that we are only legally allowed to sell files in certain countries. Essentially, these countries are the UK, the United States, Canada and the 16 EuroZone countries.
