It is difficult to answer this one. Today's technology provides CD players and very high quality stereo systems. We know that certain artists, like Glenn Gould, preferred recordings to live concerts. Others, like Sviatoslav Richter, preferred live concerts. We think that there is room for both.
Live concerts have unique moments of excitement, and the creation of an event.
A good recording will provide a listener with a great deal of pleasure and excitement as well as a revealing, enriching experience. Yes, we do. We frequently perform the Piano Quintets by Brahms, Dvorak, and Franck. As well as quartets. They have a wider range but still keep those special qualities which are unique to chamber music.
