Though I agree with the overall sentiment of Shaw's poem,
the lines:

}I have listened to music from a gramophone,
}It is somewhat tinny and false in tone.

are fighting words to a recording engineer!

I made a recording of a live chamber music concert a couple or 3 years
ago of 2 Oboe and English Horn music that was accurate enough that
Yvgeny Izotov gave a copy to his former teacher Ralph Gomberg,
and San Francisco Symphony English Hornist Julie Giaccobassi's husband
has been trying to persuade her to release it ...
