== Virgin Classics == '''[[Virgin Classics]]''' was founded in 1988 as part of Virgin Records. Along with [[EMI Classics]], it too was acquired by UMG in 2012 as part of the takeover of the EMI Group. But the terms of the [[European Commission]]'s approval of the takeover required divestment of the two classical labels. Accordingly, both were sold in February the following year to [[Warner Music Group]], and this transaction was approved by the [[European Union]] that May. Warner placed the Virgin Classics artist roster and catalogue in its [[Erato Records]] division, and the "Virgin Classics" name, along with "EMI Classics," disappeared.
