I have long regarded playing for a live performance and playing for a recording as different performance arts.The audience hears a live performance once, they can hear a recording many, many times. There are a lot of things that can work fine in a live performance but simply don't hold up to the repetitive listening a recording gets. There's a different atmosphere at a live performance than what you have at home, and that affects the listener's perceptions. The feel of the audience at a live performance can also affect what the performer does and we even have a term for that: "playing to the audience". It can produce some magical moments, and some less than magical ones too, on occasion.
I'm not certain that live performance and recording playback are "meant" to be different experiences—I could mount arguments for both sides of that debate, stressing different aspects of listening to music in order to support either side—but they are, as a simple matter of fact, very different experiences. An artist could strive to present the same view of a work on stage as in their recordings, but they definitely can't play the work in exactly the same way in order to do so.
