I didn't expect this thread to grow as much as it has - thinking most (like myself) would simply agree with the OP's
opinions. However, it impelled me to do some brief local research, and I should like to put a word in for Harmonia Mundi (DHM as well) - even a CD from their budget series has three language notes on the composer and the recorded work. Informative useful details from many others remain conspicuous by their absence.

I think Robert's phrases - "tiresomely bad teenage poetry" and "too many people focus on themselves" are accurate
and pertinent, highlighting as they do the target 'yoof' audience these companies appear to be aiming for.

And as if to emphasise this point, today's selection of discs has a "Mezzo Mozart" CD, surprising no-one at all with an irrelevant display of grafitti, although I was left wondering if a frontal view would confirm how far the grafitti extends.
Mere curiosity you understand. However, this was soon dispelled by the (out of context) quote from Gramophone...
"easy at the top but sometimes lacking fullness lower down".
