Disgust

So, last night me, Paul, Kristen, and Becky went to hear Minn Orch play. Sharon Bezaly played the Aho flute concerto. I have never witnessed anything quite as ridiculous as this woman in my entire life. She came out looking like she'd just been invited to play by Jesus. Her sound was very beautiful. Fine. But then she started freakin' dancing in the rests. Like, Elaine from Seinfield dancing. I am not exaggerating. Sista' even put her flute DOWN once to dance with both hands!! And when she wasn't playing for a couple measures, she would pretend like she was getting ready to, just in case the audience might have taken their eyes off of her for a second to listen to the orchestra. (Perish the thought!) She also used circular breathing for EVERYTHING, which was neat, except for the cocaine snorts that covered up her sound, and the fact that sometimes music does, in fact, breathe. She played Bach for an encore and she even circular breathed through that. What the Hell? I have never seen such a diva in my life, and I am bewildered at how she can get away with all that shit. Someone needs to stop her before she pollutes the minds of young flutists everywhere and we all have to study interpretive dance in addition to flute. This picture is for you Molly Bezaly...it's as diva as I will ever get because I play music to play music--not to be adored and lusted after and not to get the most money or the most attention. I'm sorry Daddy didn't love you enough, and I am truly dismayed that your amazing talents are overshadowed by your need to be more important than the music you play so well.
