...when definitive performances can be purchased for the price of a plastic disc, one often wonders what peculiar force continues to attract listeners to a concert given by amateurs. The near-capacity crowds at Sanders during the past two Thursday nights suggest however, that Audio-Lab has yet to monopolize the listener's world.
