Went to the Lucia Micarelli concert tonight in Steamboat Springs. Her, and her ensemble of world class musicians. I believe I have a pretty high quality stereo system, and I have been to concerts where I actually preferred my system to the live performance/sound. Well, not tonight. Not even close. I still like my stereo, but on nights like tonight, it is clear that, sometimes, we are just not going to get close to the absolute sound. A live violin is a live violin.
And, if you want to see someone infuse the music with emotion, with life, go see one of her concerts.
