If an orchestra only gave one performance every three years (or if they gave up public performances, and tried to survive solely on CD sales) you'd be paying a lot more that $600 for a ticket or for that CD.
I get the impression that most of the larger, more famous orchestras get most of their income from recorded music sales. They do that by selling at low profit, high turnover.
Mike, are you presuming that yer basic orchestra (or even a very good one) has the same dollar value of input costs compared to a large crew of software engineers playing with really expensive computers?
