Digital downloading transforming the classical music marketplace.
Classical sales statistics are begining to roll in for 2005 and the numbers are very encouraging. Reuters is reporting a number of artists with digital sales making up 10 - 20 percent of overall sales (73 percent in the case of Janine Jansen), and even though traditional sales are down 15 percent in the US, digital sales are up almost 94 percent. This represents an unexpected and exciting growth for the classical genre in the digital marketplace. Let’s hope this trend will continue in the coming years.
