Soloists and conductors make their names on stage first. And that happens through management. Managers are scowering the major music schools to discover the next potential star soloist and are signing management contracts with them often while they are still in school. It almost reminds me of high school and college athletes going pro and being recruited by high profile sports agents. And once management signs them they are looking to book them in major venues. This often happens when established artists have to cancel and someone has to fill in last minute. Then once an artist has a few major concerts under their belt and some good reviews. Then the career starts to gain momentum. Publicists and recording deals follow. they don't come first. And this is why the DG deal makes zero sense for the artists. Classical musicians make their money off playing concerts. There is no record deal worth 10% of that income under any circumstances. Concert goers don't care if an artist is a DG artist or not. The concert fees an artist gets do not go up by 10% by virtue of being a DG artist. It would be 10% for nothing. A bad deal no matter how one spins it.
