Quote HistoryQuoted:
I've played violin for over 25 years, and in my younger years some of that was professionally. I actually knew of Lindsey Sterling long before her current music career. She's probably the sweetest, nicest, most heartwarming girl ever to pick up a fiddle. But, within the professional violin community she is in fact considered a mediocre player at best. Her skills on a violin are quite decent when she's standing still and using proper technique and all that jazz. But as soon as she starts moving around and doing her little dance thing, he abilities diminish significantly. Granted the fact she can play AT ALL while dancing like that is somewhat impressive, but it's just novelty. I've heard her play with and without the dancing and it's pretty painfully obvious to those of us who know a thing or two about fiddle playing. All her show songs are pre-recorded and she plays along with no pickup feed, they're also heavily auto-tuned and corrected prior. DRhodes and I have spoken of this before, back when more of her stuff was getting popular. She's done a great job of crafting an image for herself, and she's got a very solid sound engineering team behind her as well as excellent composers writing her stuff for her, in fact he latest stuff has been the best so far. That said, I do wish her all the luck in her career. Well, I've been to a couple of her concerts and if she's not playing live I'd be shocked. If it was pre-recorded AND auto-tuned I'm sure they added flaws and defects back into the music to make it sound authentic, right? She makes a fair amount of mistakes and I notice them. I have a background in music and I am a critical listener. She also slipped and fell during one song and it didn't keep playing without her. So with all due respect, I don't believe all this is happening at her live shows. For the 2 songs she sang it also sounded live to me, and I've been to a lot of live shows. Side note, why is it that professional violinists feel the need to shit all over Lindsey Stirling? Very few of her fans will tell you she's the best violin player ever. They like her music, her personality, and her dancing. Her shows are awesome. I have very broad musical tastes and I enjoy classical music and "electronic" music, so LS being the junction between these genres appeals to me. |

It's no surprise people would hold the same myopic view towards music. If she was a man, no one here would care about her, no one would defend her as being anything other than mediocre. It's only because she is a HWP female that anyone is defending her. It's amazing that in this day and age, people are still so sexist. |

Just like other artists and entertainers and differing musical styles. I like some of her music but not all of it, and I don't care whether or not any of you like it or not.

Then again, based on your post count it appears you really have nothing better to do. Let me see if I can explain this in a way you can comprehend. I don't mean that to belittle you, it's just a very nebulous thing to try and explain. When playing a violin there are very specific techniques used to play the required notes in a clear and concise manner; the wrist has to be in very specific spots and specific times, pressure applied to strings in specific ways in a specific sequence, the bow has to be at specific angles and in a specific position and very specific pressure applied in very specific sequences. I'm familiar enough with the instrument and how it's played that I can look at things like her neck, chin, hands, wrists and where they are positioned and how she is moving them to create a sort of audio picture of what she's doing correlated with what I am hearing. The basic conflict is that the various dance moves she does and the necessary movements to balance herself and perform these maneuvers does not preclude the above mentioned very necessary techniques she needs to be using to make her playing sound good. These techniques are grounded in basic physics and are fundamentally necessary and no amount of raw talent will never ever circumvent that. Any mistakes you heard in the audio of her performance are in all probability not intentional in the sense that they were artificially re-introduced into a recording but are in fact the result of a state of "incorrectableness" of the mistakes she made in the original recording and were deemed acceptable for a synced recording to a live performance. |

Itzhak Perlman is a better violinist, but wouldn't look nearly so good in a bikini, and the thought of him prancing around like that is frankly a little creepy. But hey, he wouldn't be playing over a prerecorded track either.
Maxim Vengerhov likewise.... Anne Mutter on the other hand... |

I've socialized with Itzhak Perlman, that man loves his vodka and would probably prance around if you got enough drinks in him

Question is, which likes dudes more? IIRC Perlman is queer as a 3 dollar bill, no? (dude can play the fuck out of some Mendelssohn though) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I've played violin for over 25 years, and in my younger years some of that was professionally. I actually knew of Lindsey Sterling long before her current music career. She's probably the sweetest, nicest, most heartwarming girl ever to pick up a fiddle. But, within the professional violin community she is in fact considered a mediocre player at best. Her skills on a violin are quite decent when she's standing still and using proper technique and all that jazz. But as soon as she starts moving around and doing her little dance thing, he abilities diminish significantly. Granted the fact she can play AT ALL while dancing like that is somewhat impressive, but it's just novelty. I've heard her play with and without the dancing and it's pretty painfully obvious to those of us who know a thing or two about fiddle playing. All her show songs are pre-recorded and she plays along with no pickup feed, they're also heavily auto-tuned and corrected prior. DRhodes and I have spoken of this before, back when more of her stuff was getting popular. She's done a great job of crafting an image for herself, and she's got a very solid sound engineering team behind her as well as excellent composers writing her stuff for her, in fact he latest stuff has been the best so far. That said, I do wish her all the luck in her career. Well, I've been to a couple of her concerts and if she's not playing live I'd be shocked. If it was pre-recorded AND auto-tuned I'm sure they added flaws and defects back into the music to make it sound authentic, right? She makes a fair amount of mistakes and I notice them. I have a background in music and I am a critical listener. She also slipped and fell during one song and it didn't keep playing without her. So with all due respect, I don't believe all this is happening at her live shows. For the 2 songs she sang it also sounded live to me, and I've been to a lot of live shows. Side note, why is it that professional violinists feel the need to shit all over Lindsey Stirling? Very few of her fans will tell you she's the best violin player ever. They like her music, her personality, and her dancing. Her shows are awesome. I have very broad musical tastes and I enjoy classical music and "electronic" music, so LS being the junction between these genres appeals to me. It's kinda like telling arfcommers to just ignore poor gun handling in a movie. So when I point out that based on the 2 live shows I've been to they aren't pre-recorded, you have no answer. I see how it is. Nothing worse than someone who trolls every post about an artist that people enjoy to shit all over everything. Then again, based on your post count it appears you really have nothing better to do. Let me see if I can explain this in a way you can comprehend.
