Robert Philip argues that the advent of recorded music has directed performance style into a search for greater precision and perfection, with a consequent loss of spontaneity and warmth.

Various expressive devices once common in classical music have been almost outlawed, in luding portamento (sliding from one note to another on a stringed instrument), playing the piano with the hands not quite synchronized, and flexibility of tempo. Philip fully documents these changes. However, other forces independent of recording were also at work. For example, the freedom of tempo so valued by Philip was, in its time, both a necessary expedient and disastrously abused. Recording alone did not cause the reaction against it, although hearing a particularly unintelligent use of it on disc may have reinforced the prejudice
