Publication Date: Sunday November 8, 1992
BYLINE: 

An orchestra gets its revenues from subscriptions, but its
international reputation comes from the permanent legacy of its
recordings, and the L.A. Philharmonic's recorded output has been
horrendously uneven. In CD stores, the Philharmonic's recordings have to
compete against those of the great East Coast and European orchestras,
which often are on cheaper labels. The Philharmonic needs to make
better-sounding recordings than the Philadelphia, Royal Concertgebouw of
Amsterdam, Berlin Philharmonic and Boston Symphony, and I don't think
they can do it.
