Over the last few of months I have shot a couple of gigs for the
Melbourne Recital Centre. They are called Masterclass and the idea is that they have an artist who is a leader in that particular instrument conducting a sort of open tuition class for performers.
First there was
Christian Tetzlaff who is a violinist and this week we had
Susan Bullock - who is a soprano, who I believe is Sandra's older sister*.
Both were amazing musicians in their own right and it was wonderful to see them at work. One theme that ran through both classes is even if you have the mechanics right, if you can play or sing a piece of music technically perfect (and they were just amazing to watch, don't get me wrong) - there is a level beyond recital, and that's where you live the song and play it with feeling, as if you were the one who wrote the words / music.
I had to shoot pretty safe on those nights, however, there is always room to get a couple of cool shots off, see below:
