Yes. I'm Jeremy Berkman.
I'd just like to speak as a musician to one issue of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio Orchestra, and that is the art of recording, which is actually very different from the art of live performance, and it's something the radio orchestra has become a specialist in.
When you're performing live, you're always thinking forward and you're constantly looking only at the big picture, compared to the art of recording, which often takes a very special focused look at a small phrase and tries to make that phrase absolutely perfect. It's something that, unfortunately, is rarely done in our lives as musicians. And the CBC Radio Orchestra actually spends time doing that. The effect of that on all of our lives, as musicians, is to make us better musicians when we perform live in other situations, as well as creating the legacy that the CBC Radio Orchestra has through its recordings.
I think it's a very specialized skill that the musicians in that orchestra have perfected to a point that it makes it cost-effective to use them, as opposed to people who wouldn't be as well educated in that particular art form.
