This argument about Live vs. Recorded comes up again and again, and there
is never any resolution. Nor should there be. A century ago, all music
was live music. Recordings added another dimension just as movies added
a dimension to live stage drama. Studio recordings and studio television
added still further dimensions to the original media. Isn't it grand
to have such choice? I myself would rather hear a live concert with all
it's potential for disaster, but I would not part with my record collection.
All these media are different, and all have their advantages and
disadvantages. Music comes in many shapes and sizes; let us be grateful
and enjoy the conucopia.
