So Phillip,

You do NOT attend live concerts?

This opens another can of worms. Many of the recordings we have today of the Munich Philharmonic and Sergio Celibidache are recordings of live performances only released after Celibidache's death. He strongly believed that many of the upper partials of notes were perceived by most (whether consciously or not) but they could not be captured by modern recording techniques. That last part is indeed correct, and he felt so strongly about the critical loss of information that he refused to do commercial recordings...period.

Maybe Celibidache took things a bit too far (maybe), but there is no substitute for a live performance. And that means actually being there.

Yes, as a part-time concert stager I can't help thinking that modern pop concerts are the entertainment of the past known as "The Circus," but that doesn't mean they are any less entertaining because of that.
