I thought those of you who are classical fans might be interested.
Nice to see they are offering FLAC as well as MP3.

From the AP:

The Philadelphia Orchestra will become the first major U.S. orchestra
to open its own online music store for consumers who want to download
performances.

While other orchestras make their performances available online, they
have done so through third-party distributors. The Philadelphia
Orchestra will be the first in the U.S. to sell the downloads directly
through its Web site, officials said.

Prices for MP3-format recordings range from about $5 for major works
to $10 for full concerts. A CD-quality format called FLAC will cost a
bit more.

The orchestra expects to offer at least a dozen new downloads each
season.
