Re: Review of Edna Stern's Schubert on Tape
Robert, yes, I did read the sleeve notes (hence my reference to the vinyl release) and therefore all the self-justifying drivel about analogue vs digital recording/editing. I've done both, and in analogue days with musicians literally screaming at me to splice in just a few millimetres of tape to 'perfect' their recordings, it's just as ridiculous to suggest there's any real difference between analogue and digital editing practice as it is to apparently lay the blame primarily with the engineer! Believe it or not, the better the musician, the less there is to edit.
