Previous MessageI'm sorry however that Decca decided to issue the actual competition performance of the Rachmaninoff, rather than investing in a studio production with another conductor
I think it was a very deliberate decision, because the competition performance has the most marketing value for Decca — "Here is the Cliburn performance that made Yunchan Lim an instant sensation!"
BTW, Does any major orchestra even make studio recordings (not in concert) any more? The cost has become prohibitive.
