From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

RE: NYP cancels Fall Season.

"Neither the NYPO nor the BP will ever get many of my $$ until they can do better than the 320 Kbit/s audio on the DCH. They can also do better with mike placement and quality."

320 kbps is not nearly as bad as some of us would believe..... Mind you, I ran a test on AA a while back, most people preferred the 320 kbps converted to CD over the native CD resolution............ I also contend that most recordings and DACs aren't good enough to where the added resolution provides audible benefit.

A big reason why the resolution isn't higher is that there would be a lot more hesitation in playback at higher resolutions.

"And will anyone pay for the NYPO when the Berliners are available?"

Berlin may be the better orchestra, but what's being performed and/or the conductor (or concerto soloist) could be an overriding factor. (I would rather listen to the NYPO performing Beethoven's Seventh over Berlin performing Ravel's "Bolero", if you get the gist..... )

One would think that the NYPO also has a big enough following to draw a good paying audience online.......
