You wanna know why classical is still going strong? Every new generation is better than the last. They make old music new, with better technique, better understanding, and better musicality.

Sorry.. maybe you have a point about the training of young musicians... but, nobody WITHIN the classical industry thinks it's going strong. Maybe live performance is. Maybe. (The Opera Company of Philadelphia cut back the number of productions for next year. The Philadelphia Orchestra saw subscriptions DROP during the current season, which was the first season with new music director Christoph Eschenbach. Maybe it's just us.) But people seem to agree recordings are dead in the water. This is a sample opinion (only somewhat extreme).
