If I were a classical music critic, I would be doing some soul searching after this story. Followers of this forum may recall the (all to) brief discussion about Fanfare's policy to guarantee reviews if the label purchased advertising for the recording.
Clark's comment regarding fakes is quite right, it is just not worth the effort except on a very small scale. There are classical artists who sell their recordings from web sites, (I remember one memorable Fanfare review incinerating one such offering) but most of those are probably vanity recordings.
However, it does make it important to use your own ears - the problem is to find reliable sources for new recordings. I have used Fanfare and to a certain extent Gramaphone, although the overall number of recordings I buy that make it to my rotation of things I listen to again and again are disappointingly small.
