I thought DHM stood for Deutsch Harmonia Mundi.  Anyway, Harmonia Mundi is
whom I meant.

 [I'm not completely clear on the genesis of DHM, but they used to be
 owned by EMI Europe, and we sold to BMG (RCA) sometime in the mid-to-late
 80s.  Harmonia Mundi is a separate company that has been around for
 something like 30 years.  To complicate matters further, Harmonia Mundi
 has two components: Harmonia Mundi France, which produces most of their
 releases; and Harmonia Mundi USA, which, in addition to producing some
 recordings (such as those with the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra) also
 act as US importer and distributor of all Harmonia Mundi releases as
 well as those from other labels such as Opus 111 and Hyperion.  -Dave]
