In Reply to: RE: Nicola says "classical music isn’t supposed to be sexy” posted by Chris from Lafayette on April 02, 2014 at 12:12:04
I think all this emphasis on sexiness cheapens and demeans the performers. Nicola is right that only her musical acumen should matter when it comes to assessing her talent but then she appears in a picture holding her violin while wearing a tight dress with a significant portion of her anatomy hanging out of it. How are we supposed to take her seriously?Perhaps this is why female artists in general were not taken seriously until very recently (and apparently the Vienna Philharmonic still does not take female artists seriously). In this climate, if I were a female artist, I would avoid playing to the galleries.

By listening to her and making judgments based on how she plays.
Why cant they take their penises out of their heads and leave it where it belongs. Why would the looks of a person effect their performance. She could be naked on stage i do not care, if she manages to make me close my eyes, listen to the music and make all the little hairs on my neck stand up that is all that matters, and I will take her just as seriously like the old dude with the two canes. Now if she puts down the fiddle and stands in front of me naked, that elicits a totally different reaction.

True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.

Are we selling music or body parts?Your response reveals a sexist double standard. Since you brought it up, imagine how offended male artists would be if their music was marketed using crotch shots or images of the men bulging out of skimpy garments.
If that is not appropriate or acceptable for marketing male artists then why is it acceptable for female artists?

Quite right, she should wear woollen thermal underwear and eat up her porridge. What was she thinking....
