Again, I submit that scratching the itch does not soothe it but rather only serves to exacerbate it. After recently buying yet another Mahler 4 (Ivan Fischer this time) I found myself seriously contemplating rounding out the already substantial collection with enough versions to permit the writing, if I wanted to, of one of those completist comparative review-articles you find in magazines. Ay!
Upgraditis?
Anyone here in constant upgrade mode? Listening to the same choice records or CDs over and over again after some new change in gear?
Unfortunately, I find myself in this mode far too often. Eventually this becomes a way of life.
Music becomes secondary to the latest tweak. As a retired musician, theoretically, this shouldn’t happen to me. But it does. I should be listening to new works and comparing performances.
It’s a dangerous trap!
