As far as classical recordings are concerned, it is of no consequence to
the
orchestral players who pays the bill. They get paid the same session
rate.
But conductors usually regard cheap labels as a means of gaining
experience
and a stepping stone to a better label.


Interesting comment. What makes a 'better label'....???

As far as classical labels are concerned, it means
a company with conductors and orchestras that have a
high reputation internationally.

Regretfully, the Maidenhead Symphonia is not on this list:-)

Interestingly, if you compare a classical recording on a cheap
and a full price label, you will sometimes wonder if you are
listening to the same piece of music.
