Legend is an exciting new series which features a winning combination of selected popular repertoire on CD from some of the greatest EMI musical legends coupled with a DVD that contains timeless film footage of that artist in performance.

The CDs contain over 70 minutes of the artists’ finest moments. The DVDs contain up to 20 minutes or more of superb performance material taken from the EMI DVD catalogue or, in some cases, rare footage being released for the first time. There is also an additional 14-minute showreel of some of the best DVDs on EMI Classics and a further 27 minutes of video clips from the EMI/IMG award-winning Classic Archive series. In total, each title offers up to 60 minutes of material and clips.
