I don’t really think classical albums are a commercial enterprise in themselves but make sense from a gig / resume builder thing. It makes sense to me.

That’s right, most of the time, you just won’t break even. But it’s important to have as many of them as possible, to build resume
Is it really a resumé builder if it’s not on a record label, though?

Fucked up thing is you still need a label to get reviewed. And you pay to get reviewed too

Yes, it is VERY difficult to get a review without the label affiliation.

Which is why labels still can charge a ton of money.
It’s sort of some ultimate expression of vanity to drop like $4k on getting released and do the photos, vids + audio at your own expense (another $1.5k).
Which is why it is worth doing only once, unless you get a better offer down the line.
Until then - more self releases, and keep it digital only + vids.
Getting into the “performing arts” is cost prohibitive.
My studio charges moi $200 per hour for the multicam and audio, but I color grade the unedited massive session files and pick the takes myself.

Record Labels: DG, Decca, Warner, Sony, Hyperion, Harmonia Mundi, Pentatone, Ondine, BIS, Chandos, Mirare
Yeah, good luck getting an offer with one of those if you’re not an A-lister. Gotta start somewhere!
Cziffra recorded on Hungaroton before he even knew that doing gensui EMI recs would be a possibility.
Plenty of record labels out there, bottom line - you’re getting your (hopefully) best work documented and building credibility.
Then one day you can pay a bigger label more money to issue you 
Cziffra is Cziffra.
