The New York Philharmonic, like many orchestras, is experimenting with giant video screens. “Just as, if you go to a football game, the camera focuses in on the face of the athlete. You wouldn’t want to go to a movie and just look at the back of Cary Grant. You want to see his face.” But the orchestra’s players aren’t enthusiastic so far: “It just seems like a bit of a sellout. Better we should spend the money on a hall that brings the audience closer to us. People might as well stay home with their big-screen TV’s. It’s going the route of MTV, and I’m not sure it’s the way to go.”
