Many classical fans have thousands of records or CDs already. I have about 3,500 classical records in my collection.

Sure, Hahn is a good violinist, but there is a lot of competition from many well-recorded stars like Heifetz, Milstein, Rabin, Szerying, etc. If you already have 25 different performances of the Brahms Violin concerto, you don’t rush out to buy another one.

I can’t stand Conan but I recorded Tonight to see Hahn. She did a great job.

Very good point. Think this is true of many genres of music.
