we have Naxos for that. That label is the king of non-standard repertoire, from minor 18th, 19th and early 20th century composers to contemporary music of all stripes (though some other small labels have begun to follow their path). I get no small satisfaction from seeing their catalog mushroom as the former so-called major labels, with their obsession with major stars, big-name orchestras and conductors and standard repertoire, merge out of existence or fold outright.
In the early days of internet discussion groups, I was still arguing in favor of the Naxos approach, but at the risk of sounding smug, I think this debate has been over for a while.
