Jeez, I can't imagine any of the guys I know who play in the Met band, ABT, sub in the NYP etc. needing anything remotely like that degree of editing for a chamber ensemble recording. They all play their asses off. I've stood right off the pit at the Met and heard damn near perfect performances by that band.
I also have first hand experience with analog tape editing, and worked with a couple of engineers who had amazing splicing/editing chops. But again, I find it hard to believe that recordings like my LP's of Stravinsky chamber pieces (such as his wind octet, Soldat etc.) are chock full of edits.
Dunno if I'll be familiar with any examples you tell about, but don't worry about me revealing what you tell me. However, I can't rule out a reply to your e-mail in which I say something like "That can't be true" :-)
