This is where a label like Telarc is so very smart: they get to charge
premium prices for great recording quality of the less expensive orchestras,
chief among them my own hometown group the Atlanta Symphony, whose members
are paid FAR less (maybe 40% less) than an orchestra like the Boston
Symphony, whose musicians are among the highest paid in the world. It must
cost much less for a recording session of Atlanta than Boston; yet I still
enjoy their playing very much.
