The Sound Of Things To Come
This report informed a MusicTank-produced think tank debate at the Gramophone Classic FM Awards, 28 September 2006 and was written by Darrell Panethiere and sought to address the impact of digital technology and other new forms of recording on the classical music sector. In particular, whether early download sale figures for the classical sector – which indicate that it may constitute a considerably larger portion of the market for digitally delivered music than it has, in recent years, constituted for physical sales – do in fact provide a genuine basis for optimism. The event itself, "Classical Returns: A Digital Renaissance", sought to identify and highlight the ongoing growth of classical music in the digital sphere and consider whether new digital formats and distribution methods could resurrect classical music as a major commercial entity?
