Well, it may be possible to do a much greater range of editing techniques or manipulation with the latest digital technology than was possible at the start of the analogue era, but from what I've read, the introduction of magnetic tape quickly made heavy editing a routine fact in many classical recordings.
Glenn Gould, famous for insisting upon and closely supervising the heavy editing of his own recordings, wrote extensively about the phenomenon. Obviously, some performers and even conductors resisted it, staying away from the recording studio almost entirely.
But as I said in the last thread, I think our ears have become so accustomed to the unnatural lack of flaws in these recordings it has affected our expectations, even of live performances. But as I also said, I have only anecdotal evidence of this and I know some of you disagree.
