That's cool! It's great to hear from someone who made it work for a living.5999
I used to be a professional bassoonist before I moved into management. I'm now VP of Artistic Operations.
Yo-Yo's Bach isn't my favorite, but in general he lives up to the hype. Incredible musicians, incredible human. I've worked with him a few times. Just one of the nicest people ever.
Not a big fan of Lang-Lang. He is definitely style over substance. Yuja Wang is the real deal. No one can compete with her technical prowess and backs it up with incredible musicality.
I re-listened to Joshua Bell's Chopin Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2. In that recording, it feels like he places more focus on using the entirety of his bow than on shaping his phrases. To be fair, that piece can be difficult to phrase, but Joshua Bell's rendition sounds careless to me. Maybe he isn't interested in a piano piece, which would be fair... but then why record it? I don't have the same problem with some of his more difficult repertoire, but it feels like more difficult pieces can be more straightforward to phrase in general (if the musician chooses the more straightforward way...).I saw itzak perlman perform a few years ago and it was other worldly.
Joshua Bell, Yoyo Ma both live up to the hype
Renee Fleming on the other hand was a big disappointment. She just seemed completely disinterested and her voice was just average
this made my day lol
