from the legends-created-online dept
An interesting article talking about how classical music fans discovered a great performance of Mahler’s Fifth Symphony (being that I’m a cultural neanderthal, I have no idea about the actual music) that never would have received any publicity without the word-of-mouth advertising it received on classical music mailing lists on the net. The article goes on to suggest that the “future” of classical music recordings will be driven by the internet.

Astroturf
If the major labels get wind of this, look for an astroturf campaign for another boy band. But I’ll bet they’re already doing that.
