Please be very careful when painting with a broad brush in regards to those who choose not to play their instruments after retiring from an orchestral position - or, for that matter, any kind of music related job or a career in any field.

...... perhaps when not maintaining that performance level of what was expected during their careers they simply don’t like what they hear anymore? (Heck, I can hardly stand what I sound like sometimes!)."

Well put: I played clarinet professionally before coming to the USA, but stopped playing completely because I did not think I could compete with American players.
Now that I re-started playing as an amateur after a 26 years break, I don't like to record myself because I do not like to hear what I sound like...

I completely understand those players who had to play the same performances for years and who now do not want to touch their instruments.

Also, I can understand those retired musicians who would not want to play with an amateur group because of the difference in the level of performance...
