Secondhand word from some other lists has it that Warner Classics (Erato,
Teldec) is still undergoing contraction in their activities.

Among other things, an imminent release of the Christie recording of
Rameau's "Zoroastre" has been put off, with Christie and his Les Arts
Florissants already cut loose from Erato.

Teldec seems to have "let go" Harnoncourt and Andreas Staier, with
Barenboim and Kent Nagano also on the list of sackees.

Warner Classics is said to have ended all of their exclusive contracts,
and will only do single recording projects in future.  Their websites
seems to be there, but are undergoing "redevelopment".....
