The people in charge do not benefit if the orchestra is great Have you ever actually worked for an orchestra? I have. The Chicago Symphony, Boston Symphony and other top orchestras take quality very seriously. Do you think, say, Georg Solti or Daniel Barenboim were happy with "just pretty good" musicians? Their reputations (and fortunes, for top conductors are very well paid) depend on consistently outstanding performances. And I don't know how you call it non-market. When you're income depends on millionaires donating vast sums of money, you damn well better care about quality. It's like saying a football coach doesn't benefit if his team drafts the best players. |
