'''Delos Productions''' is an American [record label](/source/record_label). Long in Los Angeles but now headquartered in [Sonoma, California](/source/Sonoma%2C_California), it specializes in [classical music](/source/classical_music). The Delos label was founded in 1973 by Amelia S. Haygood (1919–2007), whose stewardship of the company made her a prominent figure in the classical recording industry.<ref name="Gramophone article">[http://www.gramophone.net/Issue/Page/June%202007/8/831261/OBITUARIES+AMELIA+HAYGOOD+Delos+label+founder+Born+July+15%2C+1919+died+March+19%2C+2007+Amelia+Haygood%2C+founder+of+Delos+International%2C+has+died+aged+87.+Her+zeal+and+desire+for+excellence+created+a+label+with+a+strong+personality+that+not+only+attracted+a+host+of+major+performers+but+which+also+gained+plaudits+for+its+technical+excellence+Oolin+Eargle%2C+Deloss+director+of+recording%2C+won+a+Grammy+in+2001+for+sound+engineering%29 Gramophone Magazine article on Delos & Ameilia Haygood]{{Dead link|date=November 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> She named the label after the Greek island of [Delos](/source/Delos), the birthplace of the Sun god [Apollo](/source/Apollo), who brought music and healing to the world.
