The video boom will continue, you will just see more and more edited stuff, along with some new names, and some famous names as well. But many of the internationally known names on all instruments--especially piano and violin, but lute, viol, harpsichord, etc, have been waiting for the editing tools to be available, and now that they are here, I think you will see a lot of players of all instruments join in.
I can tell you from a technical point of vview, it is really impossible to tell if it has been edited. So it is just the end of one age and the beginning of another. I never liked CDs, because of all the editing--between 700 and 2,000 per CD, and it is a shame to see video go the same way. But there will be many beautiful performances captured, and people all over the world can see it. dt At 10:57 PM 10/10/2009, you wrote: >I agree with Rob's point of view, Being alone far from people and >cities, videos are may way to share music with others, and an open >window on the world (so many people I "virtually" met since I post) >and of course not a professional promo, as I've nothing to sale... >;-) Sharing passion... >(I'm near one million views now...
