how hard do you think it would be for a classical musician to get a recording contract, and what label should they go for???

Several of my teachers have (or have had in the past) performed on various recordings. You must become well known, and to do that you will need to play at the professional level. Performing with symphony orchestras is a very good way to gain exposure. Also, see if your local NPR-type station has any local talent hours. Here they have them on Saturdays, but from what I understand different stations do different things. Perform whenever you can because that will give you more exposure!
Ask your teacher what they have done. If they haven't done anything, find a local college and ask the piano professors there what they have done. There are plenty of people who can help you get your foot in the door!

In classical music, as a general rule, recordings come AFTER major performance credentials. For pianists, for example, a major competition win (such as the Tchaikovsky or Cliburn) would be just the beginning of a performance career.
What I recommend is looking at the classical artists you admire, and see what their career paths were.
