<GIDON KREMER "Briefe an eine junge Pianistin", Braumüller> ( Google translation)
The violin legend Gidon Kremer said in his "letters to a young pianist":
... "Let's talk again about the success ... In this day and age of mass
rallies and pleasures it will be particularly" looking cool ", to
conform to the popular taste . There would be no such hysteria about
"name" or "stars" would not someone come to mind, that just sold
wonderful! skim off the cream with the "heroes of our time", with those
of classical music, is for a number of companies, managers and promoters
become more attractive.
So the musicians themselves take part in this game, and justify their
venality in that they "want to carry the classical music to the masses"
.... Can we imagine Orpheus which will enchant you with the sounds of
his (electronically amplified!) Lyra the Olympic Stadium? The adage that
quantity is more important than quality, has poisoned the musical
spirit. The commodity has the music as "goods of the individual use" in
the sidelined. The market has destroyed the personal relationship to the
music. the music is caught under the wheels of seduction. Man serving
other gods, a different understanding of "love". ...
..the
days of "swashbuckling boys and beautiful girls" that seduce the
audience, are numbered. They will be soon replaced by ..."second to
none!" praises. Sooner or later you will notice that "the emperor is
naked " is One in the public for the "Superstar" doctorate artist gives
the music presented no additional details. His name, declined,
conjugated, estimated sold, and celebrated for a long time with loud
cheers, ... is forgotten. ... What a great difference between the mere
"servant" of music and their "users"! Just as in the Church between the
true shepherd and the parasitic of the religious habit makers! ...
... "Let us look at: how and who are applauded by the masses?
Foremost today often are the "stars". They are those, who have been able
to "prove" their talents to, contests to win and move up in the ranks
of those who are managers. Music producers of the most promising and
promising "Hopefulss" are counted. The majority of those who at this
Involved process are (including the talent itself), thinks less of the
(Classical or modern) music as to the recognition, in the sense of a
certain
"Celebrity", which is necessary for the conversion. The concentration on
the "quantity" (the tickets, CDs and tours sold) is a merciless
process. It survived the man whose smile the most convincing acts. It
is consequently also the object of imitation and idolatry.
The name of the pianist Lang Lang (its counterpart in Russia would
probably be Denis Mazujew) urges in this context to formally. The
youthful dynamism is muliplied with the talent, wonderful things on the
keyboard to accomplish and can be the big prize. Who cares in such a
case already about what is played? The main thing is who plays! Boosted
by the success
Talents begin looking for "sponsors" with the rich and
Flirting powerful, with politicians, with oligarchs, with their peers.
... What
All this has to do with the music? Absolutely nothing! Moreover, it
spreads
a kind of "contamination of the environment" and the soul. Those
overtones, which obliged the musicians (and sometimes capable) to
serve, does not fill the space and remain "empty sounds". And also if
not all admirers of the "Stars" this change immediately notice it but
comes back like a boomerang and destroyed over time, the talent of the
hero and his (former) glory ..... Who the music serves will always
remain true. He will create no other gods.

<Sorry Nicola Benedetti, but sex is a vital ingredient of musical
success>
As Nicola Benedetti, the violinist, bemoans the idea that sex sells
classical music, professor of marketing Gloria Moss explains why both
genders cash in on their looks to make their millions

Like it or not, looks affect our responses. So Nicola Benedetti’s
comments that “classical music isn’t supposed to be sexy” and that her
success bears no relation to her looks flies in the face of volumes of
marketing research. It also flies in the face of history, since you have
only to think of the effect of composer and pianist Franz Liszt in the
19th century (a 'looker' in his day) on women to realise this. Women
would tear bits of his clothing, fight over broken piano strings and
locks of his shoulder-length hair. They would even take his cigar butts
and place them in their cleavages.
.....
When it comes to classical music, you could argue that people don't buy
or listen to it based on what the composer or musician looks like: they
listen to their CD or record rather than watch it online through a music
video, where female pop stars generally flirt with the camera to
generate attention.
....
However, people's responses to classical musicians do have a visual
element, whether it is through the CD cover, concert hall or visual
recording, and this will inevitably influence purchasing reactions.

Besides, how do the successful classical musicians get their big break
in the first place? Of course, talent is a huge part of it. So is hard
work. But combine that with a beautiful body, flowing locks and an
attractive smile, and you're onto a winner.
Take extraordinary pianist Yuja Wang, who has made it her signature to
perform in short dresses.
Take Anne Sophie-Mutter, plucked for stardom by Karajan at the age of
13, and her strapless Galliano dresses.
....
Also think of violinist Nigel Kennedy, protégé of Yehudi Menuhin, and
the way his punk hairstyle may have helped him reach a large audience.
The winning recipe is a superabundance of talent plus looks.
Those who know how to use their looks well have an advantage: sex will
always sell.
....
At the end of the day, Benedetti may well baulk at the impact of looks
but there is no denying their impact in her own success. That's just the
world we live in; how does that old saying go: if you've got it, flaunt
it.

Wonderful! Great cinematography, attention to every detail, and of course, an awarded young violinist that plays with distinction . DG, simply the best !

Less cinematography would be more, and why not record the whole piece, in concert? This is playback.
Mary Cavender
There are different forms of beauty in a category of their own. Not only has this lovely lady captured a rare gift of this piece, she accomplishes a depth of emotion as well! The entire video describes what she has told in song! Wonderful job! Provokes a fantasy!
