I noticed in your latest 2010 catalogue that many items formerly available on CD are now only available as downloads. For example, the McGegan recording of Handel’s opera Radamisto.
Are you aware that many elderly purchasers find this rather irksome and inconvenient especially if they do not have a computer at home and much prefer CD format.
Is this just a way of cost cutting your stocklist? I wonder there any possiblity that you will reinstate those items on CD again in your catalogue.
I understand that download is popular for Pop music but really this makes buying classical music recordings, really quite difficult since most purchasers are 40+.
Please could you reconsider this when compling your next catalogue.

Whilst hmuk is a distributor, indeed ‘filliale’ of harmonia mundi, it is not a production centre. All such decisions are taken, based on sales, from our head office in France. Many titles are reissued at a lower price on musique d’abord or hmgold but it is not physically practical to keep everything in th ecatalogue, sadly.
Spotify is a good source of free music if you want to listen but not download.
Thanks for letting us know your views, though.
The new website has launched:
harmoniamundi.com – & it will develop as the year passes with a specific UK webstore
How do I find “FRANZ LISZT Sonata in b minor works for piano Paul Lewis Download only” as listed on the back page of the booklet with the Wandererfantasie etc?
Here’s the link to download: http://www.harmoniamundi.com/#/albums?id=777
Have checked the list for possible 2013 reissue on hmgold and musique d’abord but this title does not feature.
I hope this is useful
