Quote:
| According to Paco Underhill, chief executive of Envirosell, a New York-based retail consultancy, Tower’s closing has been “absolutely devastating for the classical music community. And the transition to online isn’t as natural as it might be for products with a younger customer base.” So what store wants customers who can differentiate among Beethoven’s symphonies (other than the Fifth)? Perhaps not surprisingly, Amazon does. The Internet’s catch-all merchant last week opened a classical music discount store — a move, analysts said, that could benefit the company handsomely, since classical fans actually buy, rather than steal, their music. |
