"Tenebrae"....which has received huge amounts of praise from reviewers of the Bis cd-is a 24 minute work for orchestra.
What is on YOU TUBE is a 7 minute excerpt.
What however remains so worrying about this sort of thing is that You Tube is being used by people to put up complete performances of works recently issued on cd. This inevitably will reduce the sales of the actual cd.
Simon Parry of Hyperion said a short time ago that You Tube was killing companies like his. Now, whether this is true or not, I do not know...but it is alarming.
A short excerpt from a piece is one thing. Nor do I have a problem with a work which was only available on LP(as with our rule on here) but NOT a complete performance of a work which is currently available on cd. That should NOT be allowed by YT.
(Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere. I have been a fleeting visitor to AMF in recent months.)
