This is a huge subject for me as most of my playback listening is not casual (but still for my enjoyment). There are so many levels of things to "mine".
From the musician side:
Using a recording as a score
Using a recording for interpretive analysis
Using a recording for me to play along when preparing for a performance
Using a recording to hear historic instruments in historic places
From the "nerd" side:
How did the audio engineers navigate proportion/scale?
Can the recording withstand the fact that it can be repeatedly played thus having no more "surprises"?
Application to the current discussions here at GSC:
Is this a recording/performance with inner beauty for me (perhaps despite the actual performance or recording quality)?
Does listening invoke a desire to further research the work played?
Does listening invoke a desire to investigate the performers?
Does the listening session demand preparation (historic, musical or even taking a hot shower to get relaxed first)?
Is this session something that I want to share with others?
This is still just a glimpse of the possibilities.
