The rumor mill is pretty active these days.  If we can believe Mr.
Lebrecht, British Decca is history.  A friend who spent the summer in
Germany tells me that the rumor mill has it that DG is about to go under.
Another friend has heard a rumor that Brilliant Classics will be buying
out the back catalog of both DG and British Decca.

Your guess is as good...probably better...than mine.
