I find that difficult to understand.

They'd rather have £15 than 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000014p  |

But how many £15's will they get??
If they can make it work being totally out of step with the rest of the market, good luck to them!
Channel Classics release their stuff in every conceivable digital and physical format, yet still manage to make available on streaming.

Shame, they have so many good recordings in their catalogue.

ECM held out for quite a while but they are now streamed - so maybe Hyperion will come round as well.
Linn are the only other classical recording company I can think of who don't make their recordings available to the streamers.
Some others have a tendency to not make all tracks available on a streamed album - presumably as an inducement to buy the silver disc.

Yes, the greyed-out tracks are an annoyance.

This is the one I want. One of the greatest performances I have seen was her solo Bach at the Proms some years ago.  |

Gosh, thanks so much Jerry - that's the one!
So much intensity and nobility to the performance, very subtle use of vibrato. Sublime.

I bet if it was a signed KB album you'd buy it anyway.  |

Debut album from young Dutch early music outfit The Counterpoints and it's superb - this Telemann is absolutely brimming with Baroque energy!
All four musicians are most excellent technicians and you get a deeper insight into this with the solo Fantasias.
I hope we hear much more from them in the future.

Spurred on by a glowing review I had a sense of optimism for this new Scheherazade / Capriccio Spagbol but I'm afraid I didn't get far with either. Both fail to hold the spectacular tension that they should and are just rather run of the mill. Why bother when the standards previously set are so high?
