Buying digital tracks on the web can be just crazy ...
I wanted to get the recent recording of Ives's Violin Sonatas by Hilary Hahn and Valentina Lisita. Like many, ie 99% of us, I no longer buy physical CDs but buy digital tracks.
I visited the DG web site, selected the content, proceeded to checkout and filled all information on payments, where I was suddenly told that I cannot buy this in Switzerland:
Same by the way for Amazon:
(and sorry for the self-promotion since my book is on the bottom right of the picture ...).
and Itunes (which believes that everyone is Switzerland speaks German):
Why is there such a restriction ? I have stopped using Itunes because of their crazy DRM constraints ? Why do editors do such a great job to ensure that hurdles are put in between their offers and potential buyers ?
(and for French readers, my review of the opening concert of the 2008 season of the OSR with Hahn as a soloist is here.)

This recording of Ives' sonatas is quite good. Keep trying!
