They had better...!
I wonder how many Classical recordings actually make money,
yet there a large number off new releases every month.
Archiv is a good place to see how many, and they point out SACDs.
I don't see how the Classical Music Business is anything but healthy,
if the shear volume of new recordings is any indicator.
There must be some CDs that just never sell tho, there are really almost too many choices these days.
by buying lots of Shostakovich downloads lately. :-)

I suspect its the same as jazz recordings. They're basically an ad to attract an audience at concerts/gigs. I really can't understand how labels can keep producing classical recordings. Sales are anemic. When's the last time there was a *hit* classical recording?
I think I read some story about Hilary Hahn having the number one selling classical album on the Billboard charts one month and the actual sales were only about 500 copies during that time period! And yet, as you say, that sure doesn't seem to be reducing the number of new classical titles released each month.
