Agree with all of this. Fact is, issuing more and more and more recordings of the same old stuff -- people just get tired of buying the same old stuff, no matter how short the skirts of the pretty girls on the covers.But smaller labels that are issuing less familiar repertoire are doing okay. Labels like CPO and Sterling and such, with recordings and box sets of lesser known composers.
And yes, the European and Asian markets would be different. Classical still has a prominent place outside the U.S. Still have radio dedicated to classical music, Arts television channels that still focus on the arts, Big events that feature the arts, and state-supported orchestras, ballets, theaters, etc.
It's just one consequence of the dumbing down of America, the victory of anti-intellectualism, and the antagonism toward education and the arts.
