Lang Lang & Rolando Villazon: Merchandise for real fans
Some time ago, people might have cracked jokes at the mere thought of it, but now it has turned into a reality: Universal Music, home to some of the most pretigious classical labels, is selling classical merchandising off its homepage in Germany. From now on, afficionados of classical music can show their support for their favourite artists just like any pop- or rockfan. Ladies can proudly sport their Lang Lang girlie shirts, their boyfriends can chill out wearing Rolando Villazon T's, protect themselves using the Deutsche Grammophon umbrella in times of rain or place their aching „derriere“ on a cushion carrying the DG logo after a long night at the opera. The Deutsche Grammophon is also offering a leather-clad organisor to remind its owner of upcoming concert visits (as the website informs us, there are only few copies left, so place your order quickly!).
Coincidentally, there are also more directly music-related products in the shop: The complete DG catalogue is priced at 4.99 Euros and a special, limited edition press kit on Herbert von Karajan is available at 19.99 Euros. The only confusing thing happens when actually clicking on the shop item on the German Universal site: The URL changes to www.deutschrock.de – a page for fan memmorabilia for German rock artists. Does that mean we can expect Lang Lang burning his piano on stage soon?
