They keep their older recordings available, and they use their many arms to explore all sorts of lesser-charted waters of the repertoire, but perhaps the best thing is that their primary function is to make music available to people easily and cheaply.<BR/><BR/>In the beginning they didn't record super stars. They recorded excellent musicians. They introduced me to Jeno Jando, Ilya Kaler, the Eder Quartet, and a lot of music by "unknown" composers through their Marco Polo label.Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-29417381311206473592007-04-08T00:24:00.000+01:002007-04-08T00:24:00.000+01:00Does anyone really still care about the "majors" a...Does anyone really still care about the "majors" anyway? Their astounding lack of imagination has hastened their own entropy. Example: the Cleveland Orchestra hasn't made a recording in nearly a decade, and when they finally get the wherewithall to do so, on DG no less, what do they announce? Beethoven's 9th. The yawns are deafening. I can't remember the last time I bought a major label recording.JMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520926883774598349noreply@blogger.com
