I consider myself a purist, but I want to hear the pure music of the

bibration coming out of a pipe, just as it is written on the musical
score. I don't want to hear the noise of an organ blower, or the bearing
noise of the motor running it, or the clicks of a guitar pick, or the
squeking chair as the performer moves. If it isn't on the musical score,
it's noise.

Read the score and imagine it, or program it using MIDI and a decemt set
of samples?

The recordings I prefer are the ones that are great, but still show they
were performed by humans, possibly in front of an audience. I also dislike
the current fad for close mic'ing the orchestra sections, if not the
performers, and recording in a dead room. That's okay for pop, but no good
for classical, where the room is part of the performance.

Hence my thinking of buying a decent room....
