Not to mention something of a misnomer

Posted by Doktor Brahms on February 3, 2021 at 06:45:17:
Most (nearly all?) "live" recordings of major orchestras on major labels are recorded over a series of performances, often supplemented by patch sessions. The final release is edited from these various elements. How is that a "live" recording? For this reason, the inclusion of applause in such a recording seems to be something of a cheat. And as Donald Vroon said in American Record Guide, all applause sounds the same, and it never sounds musical. Its inclusion in a recording is a ruinous distraction, at least to me.
