In Reply to: RE: Opinions, plz: Singing only, not her facial expressions... posted by John Marks on January 05, 2015 at 16:43:55
The first few bars of the Violin opening had me looking around for the half-smoked cigar in the ashtray on the library table.
Her facial "expressions", as I know from sitting through many of my mother's singing lessons, (Met audition, Cleve land Orchestra Chorus, etc.) create the physical structure that produces the lovely sounds.

Very true re vocalizing facial "expressions", but opera stars also typically keep making their full dramatic/comic/tragic facial expressions even when performing in recital, though usually not for sacred music, where an extreme closeup of the singer's face doesn't do much.
Why is the camera inches away from her face? Why do her eyes look like the lights are on but nobody's home?

O come on, guys! Eyeballs are not expressive, they're sort of round wet and shiny. Expressive eyes are a creation of novelists, a projection of fears and desires. They are part of a face with expressions, eyelids, and eyelashes and so on, but even so, context and subjective reactions affect perception.

I couldda binna contenduh. Maybe. And even then, only a contenduh.
Now I am just a bum.
However, the extreme close-ups and video editing did put certain aspects rather front and center...
