One of the reasons why Naxos was initially so
effective was that it paid a flat fee up front. It
wasn't in the millionaire range, but it was possibly
better than the musicians might have expected to
make in royalties.
Later, there was no fee at all for many artists,
including at least one Naxos 'regular'. They
had to pay Naxos for the privilege of being
recorded.

Most orchestras have special funds -- bestowed by
interested donors -- to underwrite recordings. In the
case of individual artists, the money comes from
supporters, family members and sometimes from
the artists themselves.

For clarity, the proposed judicial reform would
allow a simple majority in the Knesset to overturn
Supreme Court rulings. You don't see that as a
"threat to democracy"? What part of it is "left"
vs. "right"?
Let us imagine for a moment Congress passed a
law that would allow a simple majority in the House

you think "we the people" in the US would approve

to overturn a SC ruling gives

Indeed not. I just observe the recent behaviour of the State of Israel and come to the same critical conclusions as many others do.
I have always said and continue to say that I follow the science. That informs everything I think and say about climate change.
If it were a case of understanding the origins of the Jewish people I would do exactly the same and look at the genetic science. Wiki has the following:
Despite extensive efforts[16] in recent decades to identify genotypic common denominators that might be associated with Biblical Israelites, it has become "overwhelmingly clear", as noted by Raphael Falk, that while detectable genetic continuity exists
