When Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla were crowned at Westminster Abbey, the service, and pre-service music, was exclusively recorded and released by Decca Records the very same day. This marks the first time ever a recording of a coronation ceremony – a tradition which can be traced back more than 1000 years – will be available globally to stream and download on the day of the service itself, thanks to advances in modern technology. The ceremony featured a range of musical styles and performers blending tradition, heritage, and ceremony with the new musical voices of today, all reflecting the King’s life-long love and support of music and the arts. Among the performances are 12 newly composed pieces, showcasing talent from across the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
