Perhaps the question is why people are posting music on YT (and other). You are waiting only for top quality , like CD (oh I also know some bad CDs...) or is YT a place were people can express themselves, what ever is their level or abilities ? It is the same for all instruments, not just lute and early gutiars, look for videos of amateur pianist or classical guitarist, mandolin and so... Some people play for their friend and family, for their own pleasure, for making themselves friends, for their ego (principal reason I guess). Where is the problem ? Should it be a "censure" ? Should only graduate people from the best school be authorized to post ? Or is it a free place ? And you can choose to listen, like, favorite some and not others. In fact for my sake I'm quite happy many people take the lute, because then more people heard about, come to the concerts, buy the CDs, buy a lute, take lessons. And from time to time I find a new lutenist playing so well that I'm inspired by (last one for me was Philippe Cuny and I'm very glad he start posting). Ok there is good and bad, lets take the good and ignore the bad. ;-) Val (I'm afraid many would send me on the bad side, but in fact, I don't care...)
-----Message d'origine----- De : [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] De la part de hera caius Envoyé : dimanche 25 mars 2012 16:16 À : [email protected] Objet : [LUTE] Quality vs Quantity It's already a few years I watch videos on youtube of lutenists (and early guitarists). I must say the number of recordings tripled in just a few years but to be honest and not wanting to hurt anybody, some of the recordings are very wrong if not moronic at all... In between there are the "real" recordings which doesn't has a subtitle like: "I was first reading the piece..." or "I just started to play the lute a few minutes ago and I thought to record it..." or "I was tired and the lute was miraculously out of tune..." or my favorite: "I tried a different interpretation..." What do you think, is it helpful to fill the YT with this things or: lesser is better? -- To get on or off this list see list information at [1]http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html -- References 1. http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
