Simon Rattle, probably the most recorded conductor of our time, told me this recently about the future of the recording industry.
"My own theory is that the time when people made money out of recordings is over and now it’s going to be way of evangelizing and sharing the good news. I have this feeling that music will probably be in our lives and in our houses in the way that water is. It will be considered a utility. We don’t even know what we pay for water. It’s interesting because in a way it’s a really wonderful thing. More and more people will be open to more and more music."
