Are we at a point that labels, even among the most historically important and admired labels, are saying that what they produce is essentially valueless? And not that labels are necessarily concerned with this, but what would then move classical music fans to go out and spend their hard-earned money on live concerts that last just a couple of hours, when they can nab full recorded cycles for the same price as one drink at intermission?

For the same reason that people still go to rock concerts — attending a live performance is qualitatively different from listening to a recording, even a very good recording played on top-notch audio equipment.
