In May 2010, Eric Whitacre joined a handful of composers to have secured an exclusive, long-term recording contract with a major label when he agreed to a global deal with Decca. Whitacre recorded his debut Decca album Light & Gold in London at the beginning of August with a choral group including the Eric Whitacre Singers and Laudibus ('It truly feels like driving a Ferrari' Whitacre said of working with the choir of elite professional choral singers). The album, to be released on October 19th, includes some of Whitacre's best-loved choral works as well as three world-premiere recordings. This will be the first time Whitacre has both recorded and conducted his own music.
