Apple upends release schedule
OrchestrasAnother sign of how Apple Classical is overturning the record business.
Edward Gardiner and the London Philharmonic Orchestra recorded a concert of Hector Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust for release on their own label.
Enter Apple and the plan changed.
The recording will be exclusive to Apple Classical for the first three months before being released to LPO fans.
The LPO will be working with Apple Music Classical to bring listeners new, unique and exclusive content and recordings through the partnership, we are told.
What is “record business”?
Edward Gardiner – the UKs best conductor.
Is he? LOL- don’t think so.
Does anyone know whether Bis will continue to release CDs?
Apple? I doubt it.
Meh.
Is it really any different than new recordings debuting on radio programs before being released on CD?
But I have to hand it to Apple for how aggressive they are at making deals with ensembles and labels. Now only if they could update the app to support carplay…
Yes it is very different because when members of the LPO have their music played on the radio they are paid for it via Equitable Remuneration law…. When it is streamed they are not paid a penny.
…. If you want to support orchestral musicians listen to their music on your car radio…. They get paid for that but not streaming.
Gardner, not Gardiner.
Who is Edward ‘Gardiner’ (sic)?
I hope that the new marketing strategies will help the sales of classical music recordings. The recordings will not sell themselves anymore.
