From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Of COURSE, I would rather attend the REAL THING...

I got to see Gergiev's Manfred live -- I'm still buzzing -- but the Busch's don't come 'round to see me no more, and there's a lot of other seagulls pecking at that same primo piece of bread (it's sometimes hard to get a good seat). Also, with so much to do (and so little time) I'm generally forced to settle on something less than the real thing (this is particularly true since I do most of my listening in the early morning).

Finally, I don't know what kind of equipment you listen with, but my Maggie speakers and Vandie sub, paired with an excellent DDD CD are JAW DROPPINLY GOOD. I attend live events and sit in great seats. At home, I am -- honestly, and objectively -- close to 90% there.

When we are talking recordings, we are talking home listening. Those seeking optimal home listening, especially the less-than-fully-indoctrinated, may have a preference for better sonics over depth of interpretation.
