From what I have read a Chamber music recording is lucky to sell 3,000 copies in any format whereas many Classical orchestral discs sell 50,000 or more. On the up side it usually costs less to record chamber music unless one of the really big name artists are performing.There are some chamber SACDs from the smaller companies but until SACD makes a bigger dent in the marketplace Chamber music could be a big loosing proposition.
Sort of a niche in a niche in a niche.
