With music venues on lock down across the world and many of us spending a lot more time at home, we can now enjoy the growing supply of concerts via live stream to watch from home on our TV, computer or smartphone.
The trend took off quickly, with production values ranging from tinny iPhone videos to cinema-ready sophistication. On March 12, the day New York theaters shuttered, the pianist Igor Levit gave his first lo-fi performance from his living room, while the Berlin Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra played to empty halls and audiences at home. Since then, a day hasn’t gone by without something to watch. Many of these videos have been more personal than a typical classical concert, with a casual dress code, pianos out of tune and imperfect production. It is a great opportunity to hear how great artists sound when practicing at home. Perhaps a realistic chance to compare how your own piano playing are measuring up!
