People briefed on the plans said it had mandated investment bankers to prepare disposals of its music publishing catalogues and its stake in Sony BMG, its recorded music joint venture with the Japanese group.
A sale, worth an estimated €2bn (£1.4bn), would help Bertelsmann finance a buy-in of all or most of the 25 per cent stake held by Groupe Bruxelles Lambert (GBL), its only outside investor. It would bring one of the largest music catalogues into play, but could further complicate Bertelsmann's relationship with Sony.
