Title: YouTube, Obscure Composers, and Andras Szollosy
Post by: magmasystems on May 17, 2016, 04:23:20 pm
I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I went to YouTube and looked up two of my favorite composers, Andras Szollosy and Halvor Haug. I found recordings by each of the composers that originally appeared on CDs that I own.

For example, here is the Andras Szollosy topic on YouTube. The music seems to have been seeded by Hungaraton itself. There are also links to other Hungarian composers that have been published by Hungaraton:

Are the record companies now contributing music to YouTube that is now out-of-print? Is this becoming a standard practice with classical record companies? If so, then I hope that Supraphon and Electrecord will start to upload some of their catalog that is out-of-print.
