is there a market?

It is something I have felt passionate about I guess.  I would not be in it to make money but to actually be a part of something great that would last beyond my years.  It would be a lot of work but could be a labor of love so to speak.  Just the thought of something new done all analog by a great orchestra like the Cleveland orchestra for example would be quite exillirating for everyone who loves great music.  I guess it would involve finding people who feel just as passionate.  Nothing sounds like a pure analog recording especially great orchestras, except for maybe the real thing.

Which labels are these?  I have not heard of anyone making classical records that sound as good as the ones made in the 50s and 60s.  What orchestras?  The best orchestras?  I have not seen anything out there as a late that is not digital and done by the very best engineers.  I am talking about Kenneth Wilkinson type of engineer with those type of results

It just seems like this might be the right time to do something like this.  I see turntables everywhere, even on commercials.  Maybe part of the problem with digital recordings of orchestras is that there is something emotionally missing from the sound.  The great orchestras should be very much open to anything that would promote them positively.  I just was on the Decca website.  They are reissuing the living presence recordings AGAIN.  Why?  Why not make recordings that are just as good, maybe even better, and allow the the orchestras of today to be appreciated as they should sound.  Decca above all others knows how good all analog records are.

There is such a demand for these recordings that they just keep reissuing them.  Yet the classical music industry is not doing  well.  Go figure.  Geez I guess we will just reissue some living stereos and old Decca's, those are the ones people want after all, screw the current orchestras.  I mean how much would it really cost decca to do it.  They have to still have some of the equipment and know how.  If not, I am sure their are Decca engineers that did this that are still with us that could do it again.  Somebody could make these great orchestras sound great again.  Brass and strings just do not cut it in digital period.

I understand, there is risk with everything.  I also know that digital is better than it was but it will never sound like analog ever, especially with unamplified instruments.  For music that demands critical listening, analog is the only way to go.  Jazz, classical, bluegrass and other genres of music demand critical listening not just background entertainment.  What better time to take this risk.  I would imagine the great orchestras would jump at the opportunity to be recorded in all analog because they know what that does to strings, cymbals, I could go on and on.  Its called reality, like being at the venue and experiencing music as it sounds true to life.  The only thing is it would truly have to be done by the best of the best, like a Kenneth Wilkinson to ensure it was done perfectly to really get attention.  

There is so much that goes into a great recording.  Simpler is better, but there is a lot to know.  For example, the Cleveland orchestra was recorded by Decca, Kenneth Wilkinson at the mason hall in Cleveland and not severance hall.  Why?  Because he knew what he wanted to hear in an acoustic sense.  He knew right where to place the microphones.  He knew where he wanted the musicians to be with respect to the microphones in a very detailed sense.  Its not just about the recording path, but how to actually record in let's say analog, and really make it sound as great as analog can be.  How many even know how to do this?  What to listen for and so on.  Some know right away, like Wilkinson.
