The really worrying thing is that Sony hardly makes any new classical
recordings.

The head of Sony Classical peter (wash my mouth out) Gelb is on record as
saying "there is a lot of great music out there, I just don't want to
record it." (Gramophone 75th Anniversary issue).

So:  he doesn't intend to make new recordings and they're dropping their
reissue programme.

Watch out for Music from Titanic XXXIII, out any day now.....
