Thats what to be awaited.  I can't see that there is any surprise to this
news.  The classical record market is a ballon that has been blown up too
big, and if the classical market not very quickly can find more listeners
(=CD buyers) it will decrease in size.

To the modernist fanatics, please allow me to quote the czech Jan Hus: "O
