I like CDs for some things, too. They're fine for instruments that are naturally miked separately and mixed electronically, like most concerts today. That's how modern groups are intended to be heard. That's what the audience hears. But in symphony and chamber music you're dealing with instruments where the composer did NOT expect the instruments to be individually miked and mixed. The composer wanted the music to mix naturally in the body of the orchestra, so that vibrations in air which the French Horn creates pass through the vibrations which the violins, who sit in front of him, create, and the whole mixes itself together before it gets to the audience. CDs don't do that. Plus they clip certain frequencies and enhance others, but let's not go there!
