Subject: RE: Stunning solo fiddle (classical)
Pretty impressive, all right. You can't beat a solo instrument well played.

Less is often more. Exceptions to this are by and large in classical--there are lots of great symphonies, concerti, multipart a cappella pieces, etc.

But people tend to forget that when given access to a studio--or a synthesizer.    And music usually suffers.

Interview also well worth while.    Intereresting to know the parents don't always know best.    Wonder what instrument her mother was advocating--if any particular one.

The little snippet of "Bonnie and Clyde" was intriguing too.    I wasn't convinced by "Clyde's" accent.   Sounded British to me. Who knows, maybe that was on purpose.   But "Bonnie" did better.
