So I'm not totally ignorant of mono, right?My point would be that there are today sufficient very fine performances that are wonderfully recorded, that there is little reason for deny oneself good sound for performance' sake.
To hear some people talk you would suppose that current conductors and performers are, in general, inferior to those of the 'fifties and before. This is humbug. Perhaps for this or that specific piece of music, a performace from the era is still the greatest, (in the subjective judgement of many), but not by much I'd submit, and it is not true in general.
