You are going to stay away from this site because one guy happens to think that, like it or not, electronics will be used in concert halls?
That's pretty sad, Mike.
I do agree with one point you make. This is a pivotal time. Classical music is losing its audience. When sale of 200 CDs puts a recording at the top of the Best Seller list, which is the case in classical music, the genre is in trouble. That the concert halls are filled with the elderly is just another indication. I'm not a provocateur like Lebrecht. I don't think the music is dead. But I do think it is withering away.
I don't think anyone anywhere is advocating the idea of lining up an array of Marshall amplifiers and blowing away an audience like a rock band. But on the other hand, I don't think hanging a sign on the door saying "Electronics Free Zone" will attract a single new person to our concert halls.
