I love everything you write Ethan, but as a jazz elder, and classical novice, I extra appreciate your forays into classical/notated music. I'll locate, and order all of these CDs. (I recently met with my financial advisor, and told him I need to add a new expense category to my budget: Ethan's Recommendations.)
This is a great post. I was going to skip the Aucoin article, but now I know I need to read it.
And Tom is a fantastic composer, arranger, and orchestrator. I've learned so much from him, both in conversation and from listening to and studying the scores of his music.
I saw Gandelsman play the cello suites on violin in Saugerties, NY about a year and a half ago at The Local. It was fantastic, and he played the entire 6 suites from memory(!!!)

This is the current reality. The sublime is going to the slaughter house.
I understand your point, but in the end it is up the musicians, not the government, to make the music.
