It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: We do?

So your assertion was...

" These days absolute note perfection is expected and is one of the highest priorities in most cases. It doesn't matter whether there's the option of taking another take of something, the perfection is the priority. A younger player is far likelier to be a precision machine, at the expense of musical choices/risks, than in earlier eras."

When I asked you what this was based on you said...

"Experience of my own, both recording and recording with and playing with and talking with musicians of many eras."

And that boils down to a conversation you had with the former principle tuba player of the Philadelphia Phil?

Yeah OK that's good enough to paint an entire generation of dedicated artists with the broad brush of soullessness. Have you ever actually attended any major classical recording session and actually witnessed a discussion of the expectation of note perfection? Or is this all coming from the tuba player?
