Jenkins, 28, has ditched her record label Universal Classics + Jazz and signed up with Warner Music in a $10 million (GBP5.8 million), five album deal.

It dwarfs the $1.73 million (GBP1 million) six-album deal that Jenkins signed with Universal, and is the biggest contract in classical music history, reports British newspaper the Daily Telegraph.

Jenkins' final album with Universal, Sacred Arias, is out on Monday (20Oct08).
