Now this is almost unbelievable and I haven't seen it discussed much yet. Yesterday I posted a little bit about Waldo de los Rios and his interpretations of standard classical works. From what I can gather, and I may be wrong about this, but he is more or a less a borderline obscure artist. Wednesday morning his top ranked CD was in 136,000th place on Amazon. Yesterday afternoon radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh played de los Rios’s performance of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor during his show. As of right now, de los Rios has jumped to 28th place on Amazon. The percentage of that increase is well over 400,000 percent. Political views aside, you've got to give Rush Limbaugh credit for outstanding promotion of an incredibly talented artist and for classical music in general.
Where's Waldo? Almost to the top at Amazon.
