The Philadelphia Orchestra is the first major American orchestra to offer consumers the opportunity to download recent and archival music directly through its own website. Operating its own online retail site allows the Orchestra greater flexibility in determining what is released and when, how long the product stays in the catalogue, and price scale. The Philadelphia Orchestra will realize greater revenues by going directly to its customers, thus eliminating a third party distributor. The Philadelphia Orchestra retains rights and ownership of the musical content in the Online Music Store. The Philadelphia Orchestra’s Online Music Store opens with free classical music downloads of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony for a limited time. Also available for purchase in the store are the other Beethoven symphonies recorded under Christoph Eschenbach during the 2005-06 season, selections from the Orchestra’s highly acclaimed Centennial Collection with works conducted by the great maestros of Philadelphia – Stokowski, Ormandy, Muti, and Sawallisch – and pieces recorded during the past six years under Mr. Eschenbach, Mr. Sawallisch, and Philadelphia Orchestra Associate Conductor Rossen Milanov. (See full list at end of release.) Initial prices range from $.99 for works under 10 minutes to $4.99 for a major work, and in the future full concerts for $9.99. Special projects will be priced separately. These recordings will initially be released as high-quality 256 kbps MP3s – a better-sounding audio format than similarly-priced offerings available through Apple's iTunes Music Store – and in a true CD-quality format known as FLAC. Future plans include downloads available in even higher-resolution 24-bit formats to further attract audiophiles who seek better than CD-quality audio recordings. Visitors to The Philadelphia Orchestra’s Online Music Store may also purchase a select number of commercially released CDs in their traditional format including recordings made under the Orchestra’s recently signed contract with Ondine Records, the Centennial Collection, and the three-disc Schumann CD set. The agreement between The Philadelphia Orchestra and nugs.net calls for at least 12 new classical music downloads to be added to the catalogue per season. These major works can be purchased as part of a full concert download, and/or individually. Plans are also being developed to offer at least an additional 12 major works from The Philadelphia Orchestra’s rich archive of historic recordings, available within the next year. Material available for download will be determined through a collaborative process among Philadelphia Orchestra musicians, management, and Music Director Christoph Eschenbach. All future material will be taken from live concert recordings, which will be edited in the same fashion as material edited for radio broadcast. “I am deeply pleased to announce that audiences around the world now have this opportunity to download the music of The Philadelphia Orchestra directly through the Orchestra’s website,” said Philadelphia Orchestra Association President and CEO James Undercofler. “The Philadelphia Orchestra has a rich history of leadership in...
