1975
The seventies saw De Wolfe expanding its library with the addition of The Rouge catalogue in 1975, run by Rosalind de Wolfe, wife of James de Wolfe and one of the company’s directors. This popular catalogue itself recently expanded with the new Club Rouge and a Jazz series, both of which have been very successful. The roster of companies under the De Wolfe umbrella currently includes Commercial Breaks, the De Wolfe Jazz label and a Classical RPO series which features pieces recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Many of the very earliest De Wolfe compositions are still available in its Millennium series, while the company also owns the Classic Hudson label, originally acquired in the thirties to release 78’s of popular dance music, and which now exists as a niche and eclectic production music library. Sylvester Music Co Limited has also been part of De Wolfe since the early days, originally existing as a song sheet publisher and whose subsequent LPs included talents like jazz icon Martial Solal and film score composer Vladimir Cosma. One of the newer additions to the De Wolfe Group has been the sound effects department, dedicated to designing and supplying effects for film, TV and games productions. De Wolfe SFX is run by Janine de Wolfe, James de Wolfe’s daughter.
