I
haven’t had a TV since I re-found radi0 in 2006. So I didn’t really know about “HD”
video. I watch old 30’s and 40’s B&W
movies and binge-watch reruns of 80’s and 90’s program series.
Imagine
my surprise, when I accidentally was dropped into a uTube video of classical
music.
Now I
use uTube all the time, for repair instructions, as well as viewing and posting
my own videos of local events.
But CoronaVirus
stay-at-home boredom had crept in and I was ready to step out of my old-age
bubble.
WOW.!!!
This
last decade has changed the world as far as classical video recordings. HD has brought a focus to beauty and
sexuality.
Instead
of quietly capturing a single side view of the performance, these days it is
performance art. Multi-cameras, a
creative camera director, and coordination with the performing artists, who are
now, not just virtuosos, but performance artists with gowns, make-up, and
performance direction to be their most … ..
Bill
Campbell and I used to attend the S.F. classical performances. We at times, but rarely had fantasies about
individual female virtuosos. There was a
Violist… .. But mostly it was that Bill and I were used to performers who came
to the UofA, like, Wanda Landowska, pianist (died 1959).
Sex,
in the last century, was not a part of the concert hall.
Oh
that I wish it had been.
Oh,
do I wish that I were 50 years younger these days.
All
the “old” classics have been re-choreographed for SEX.
I’d
be there with roses and champagne, were I 50 years younger.
Tonight,
I’m smitten with Khatia Buniatishvili, pianist with great hair, and
Sarah
Chang, violinist. For Bob Mora, I
recommend, Alison Balsom on the trumpet.
But
they are all fantastic, and spell-binding.
Try
the smorgasbord.
