This is classical (rant!)

Browsing Amazon.com, I came upon the page advertising The Decca Store, which says:

The Decca Records Group comprises some of the richest treasures in the history of recorded classical music, including the catalogs from Philips and Decca. Whether you're looking for essentials or supplements to fill out your collection, you'll find a trove of great titles in our Decca Records Store.
Clicking on the link brings to veritable treasure trove of classical music (is there an emoticon for tongue-in-cheek?). "New and Notable" is Hayley Westenra (who is she?), the "Superstar Artist" is Andrea Bocelli (in regular or surround sound) and "Spotlight" on Bond. But my favorite, under the heading of "Opera, Ballet, and Performing Arts on DVD" is... wait for it... Donny Osmond - Live.
With interviews, features, and footage of the still-boyish heartthrob performing live in London, Donny Osmond - Live is a must-have for his legion of fans, and just one of the many vocal and opera titles available on DVD.

And they want me to buy THEIR recommendations?
