Indeed much recorded music is processed as you describe.  Quite a lot 
now isn't, see debates about "loudness wars" etc.  If I as a listener 
have a problem with that sort of thing well I avoid as far as I can 
listening to their output.  As a consumer I'll judge what I hear, be it 
streams, cds or lps by what it sounds like to me. If I don't like ir I 
won't pay for it, if its a physical medium like lp or cd I'll send it back.

All I want the BBC to do is make the option available to me with the 
content I want.  That content is not "classical" music but I understand 
why they would start this experiment with that music, I'll listen when 
they do that maybe I'll improve my musical education at the same time.
