On further reflection, my disinterest may be financial in nature. Composers and performers would surely benefit from greater interest in their work. I remember having read that a CD by Perahia once became one of the 10 most sold classical music CDs in the US, in spite of having sold only 187 copies. It's really disgusting when you realise the fact that these days a talentless hack emerges, quickly gets a "VEVO" channel, and is selling thousands of CDs within weeks, if not days.

Rant, rant, rant.
