Distribution network and promotion expertise.

To paraphrase former Boston Celtics coach Rick Pitino, Herbie von K. ain't walking through that door any more.

You can get a taste of this forthcoming DGG Shostakovich series online here:
http://www.bso.org/MediaCenter/
Just scroll down to the 4.4.2015 Concert Broadcast item (Beethoven and Shostakovich). It's a wonderful reading of the Tenth.

I wonder if BSO Classics will continue to release material outside the purview of DG's Shostakovich project. And are the BSO's SACDs a thing of the past?
Just found a recent Forbes article about the BSO/DGG deal. In it Mark Volpe, Managing Director of the BSO explicitly states the following:
"[...] We plan to continue to release recordings of other repertoire on our BSO Classics label. We released our first BSO Classics recording with Maestro Nelsons last November [Sibelius and Wagner], and are regularly recording our concerts with him at Symphony Hall with the intent of future releases on BSO Classics.”

The Sibelius/Wagner disc is available for download as 5.1 FLAC, so I wouldn't exclude future SACD releases.
