Norman Lebrecht laments: “Something goes out of a town when its classical outlets close down: First Sam Goody’s, then Tower Records, then one by one the backstreet stores. Where does a guy have to go these days to get his Hammerklavier fix? … The loss of a place where people go after work to muse upon music, emerging with anything from a baroque obscurity to an armful of Mozart concertos, leaves a hole in city life.”
