There is also a search engine and alphabetical listings of artists and selections, as well as other schemes such as featured songs, featured artists and articles on various subjects. There is already very good material available, and the professionalism of the recordings will increase in step with consumer demand. The new business model promises to have a profound impact on the classical music consumer. Suddenly control has been wrested away from the big boys and an entirely new economic scale has been introduced. A careful production of a work requiring a small instrumentation can recoup its expenses with the sale of only a few thousand CDs.
Further sales bring in a modest profit.
Choice for the consumer is back again. As a classical music lover, you have a much better chance to have your particular desires satisfied in the new scheme. If you, or you and a group of people in your classical community, have a special request, you could send an email to the musicians who are likely to be able to fulfill it. There are no record company executives with expensive life styles to support. There are no legal staff on retainer.
