  Historic recordings are an extraordinary gift to us all. They carry the voices, interpretations and whole inner worlds of composers and performers who would otherwise be lost to us entirely. In a world where music can now be generated in seconds by artificial intelligence, preserving these irreplaceable human records feels more urgent than ever. They remind us what it truly means to create, and to listen.

  I use the word “tradition” to imply something like an atmosphere, something which suggests that the great deeds of the past set a standard for present and future. Tradition, if it is to be valuable, is an ever-changing, ever self-renewing sort of thing, like language or the human skin. It’s never a sinister schoolmaster looking over the shoulder of the present day.
