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

RE: Totally Agree With the Article..........

Maybe if more people had easy access to *seeing* classical and jazz music performed by attending live concerts that would help curb the declining interest in classical and jazz recordings.

And perhaps if there wasn't such an attitude of exclusivity and pompousness towards classical and jazz music among so many of the "connoisseurs" then maybe those genres would not have fallen into decline to begin with. Hard to say. But I am sure that didn't help the cause of either genre.

Visual spectacle has always been a major aspect of any musical performance. It was recording technology that created this artificial dichotomy between what we see and what we hear. I honestly don't see any value in it. IMO you actually really do hear more of a performance when you see the artist perform it in person.
