In Reply to: Why not go to a live performance? posted by Bruce Kendall on April 20, 2007 at 18:44:44:
But mostly I enjoy listening at home and a well done recording can deliver a highly satisfying experience. But most don't for some reason or another. I usually still enjoy the music, but they lack the thrill, the emotional zing, the beauty that grabs you.Since some do, and some don't when played on the same equipment, one must consider the source as the culprit.
I think that sound is food for the soul, and like food for the stomach, the more it's processed, the worse it tastes. For instance, my local station, KWAX, carries a weekly show called "Played in Oregon". Besides being played here, I believe that most performances are also recorded by Robert McBride, the presenter. Typically the music is great fun and the sound quality is breathtaking. Seldom will any of the commercial recordings broadcast during the week come close. I don't know why, perhaps he's a recording genius. But my guess is that he pretty much just records it, then plays the recording for the rest of us. Which may well be the mark of genius...
We now have the best technology that's ever existed to capture music and deliver it to the home with most of it's beauty and impact intact. We should settle for nothing less.
