"I would bet a nickel (here, Jasmine, hold my bet) that everyone here thinks that a great
performance that happens to be an old recording, with somewhat tinny mono sound
greatly overweighs a less compelling performance in modern stereo sound. I think both
count and I also think there are enough performances recorded that it is likely for MOST
music that a modern recording is more true to the composer's intentions. You know; what
would Beethoven choose to spin on the platten or CDP?"above is your original statement in your original post, and i felt that what you were implying was clear. if i misread or misunderstood i apologize. but i must say that, IMHO, most modern (and by modern i mean, let's say, within the last 20 years) recordings of core repertoire have absolutely no reason to live. there are exceptions, of course. but they are, for the most part, made by conductors with nothing to say leading orchestras whose sound becomes increasing indistinguishable from any other.
