Apparently, The Classical segment of the industry is still moving along nicely. According to Soundscan, the Classical market has actually grown in the last year! With album sales gains of 22.5% it appears that Mozart is still a rockstar. This combined with a 12% market share on Itunes (compared to @6% in retail) points to more gains in the future. Surely a nice bit of news in a seemingly bleek time for the industry.
