is there a market?


Is their a large enough market within the audiophile community and music lovers alike to start a recording company that recorded primarily jazz and classical music the right way?  Is there a chance to capture the great orchestras of america in a totally analog process from start to finish just like they did back in the fifties?  I would think many orchestras would jump at the opportunity to be part of the effort to be recorded like the great orchestras were in the mid 20th century.  Is there still equipment in existence and engineering know how to make this happen?  There certainly is a renewed interest in vinyl and the sound it produces even if it is done digitally.  How about the real thing?

I live in Chicago, and I do get the chance to tape a few jazz trios on occasion, but no one who has a record deal will allow that anymore.  I love your idea, and I'd be "all in" if one could make it work.  Stereophile has made some pretty good analog recordings over the years, as has record label ECM.  Sears sound recording in New York is another studio/label that does them right.  It is very frustrating to hear so much quality music being "compressed to death" in the recording process.  Most all of the classical music that I listen too are on Lp's pre 1966 for this very reason.  The dynamic range that these old jazz and classical records have is simply incredible. 

Great post, wonderful idea!

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.
Cost. Master in the can is cheaper than new, from scratch production particularly if large production and party issuing record already owns the rights in the master and doesn't even have to pay for that licensing fee. 
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.
