It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

A "best seller" in classical music is not a lot of CDs. And "best seller" is not the point. Small labels are able to record music with full orchestra and sell enough copies to make a profit. But they typically do not use performers who have already achieved superstar status, or the top tier orchestras and conductors, because they can't afford them. Still, some of these recordings do quite well in sales. It's probably a larger market than you'd thing, because there are a lot of classical music lovers who are just tired of listening to the same old same old every time they sit down. There are "best sellers" in the world of un-famous composers.
