Partially in response to the thread below about SACD versus LP I would like to draw people's attention to the latest broadside by the Cassandra of the UK classical music world Norman Lebrecht. This gentleman not only predicts that we are all doomed to iPodity but is also publishing a full length book called 'The life and death of Classical Music'. Personally I think he's living on another planet but then what do I know? I only attend live music multiple times per month and buy far too many SACDs & RBCDs all the time!! Sadly this man is a very influencial opinion maker in this country.So, it is not just that multichannel is dead (as confirmed by the 2304 issues currently on SA-CD.net), but also the entire genre of classical music is also slipping into oblivion. Wow! I'm really frightened.
