In Reply to: The "benefit" DG offers is that THEIR name is on the CD, too... posted by John Marks on August 11, 2016 at 09:27:56:
A record label can be a negative for an aspiring artist. DG orchestral recordings have long been on my "do not buy" list because of their multiple microphone mixed down style of recording. Their solo and chamber recordings are OK.
If DG went out of business tomorrow, I'd be delighted.
