Off topic, but this is hilarious:

> Physical recordings are no longer a fashionable way of listening to music, but you will probably get closer to Debussy if you shut down the Internet and give yourself wholly to his world.

So now listening to a CD is the real and authentic way to listen to classical music.

Well, at least real-er and more authentic than listening to it from Spotify while web surfing and skipping tracks every few minutes.

The emphasis wasn't on "physical recordings", but on "shutting down the Internet and giving yourself wholly to his world". One could even achieve that with a YouTube video recording -- just less easily and with distraction closer at hand.

This is how people talk about reading physical media vs e-books these days - there's a measurable difference in comprehension between reading text with hyperlinks and reading a physical book - so this doesn't strike me as crazy, if a bit precious.

Have any links to studies?

I feel like services like Primephonic and Idago feel more like I’m offline in a classical music library, no flashy graphics and random pop songs with similar names don’t get returned in search results.
