This was one of the finest benefits of the Industrial Revolution.
Whenever I watch, and hear a Symphony Orchestra - am not not sure whether to be amazed or amused.
I see robots, carefully playing what the score dictates - and a director doing something that is everything, and nothing.
Playing music composed a hundred years ago, and wearing the same frock coats Mozart would have been comfortable in.
The only thing missing is the powdered wigs - and the lice they covered up.
