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

What record deals are major classical labels offering these days?

I heard anecdotally from a successful solo musician the other day a report that DG are asking for around 10% of touring revenue from their newly signed artists, and expect a new artist to submit finished CD-ready recordings for release, which the artists pay for themselves. Not sure the actual origin of this information or if it's verifyable.

If this is true, looks like you have to invest a substantial sum to get released..... survival of the well-off.

This surprised me - anyone familiar with the deals currently being made by classical labels? I imagine there is some variation depending on the stature of the artist.
