Don Satz, referring to classical music:

I guess it depends on the state.  I've always been grateful for the
cornucopia of cheap records that Supraphon and other labels produced so
successfully in the LP era, and managed to do so under the dead hand of
communism.  But things have changed, not only in that part of the world,
and I think Don's probably right.
