The Do-It-Yourself Recording Orchestra

With the Philadelphia Orchestra announcing it will record every performance for possible later release on CD, might other orchestras be far behind? “Every situation is unique, but all of us are operating in a totally changed environment. In the old days, if things didn’t work out with one recording company, there were always a dozen other options. Now there aren’t any, and I think everyone realizes that. To make this happen, management and orchestra will have to be partners, not adversaries.”
