There is one example (IMHO) where cleaning up the 'noise' from an original recording tape to generate a CD really destroyed the soul of the performance. Glenn Gould always talked/sang/spoke/hummed while he played the piano - he verbally interacted with the music while performing. Remastered CD's, particularly of the Goldberg Variations and his live concerts, have removed this element as 'noise' - leaving only the piano, and sadly, not the performer.
