Stage manerisms were discussed some time ago, but I saw an interesting clip
last night. It was Sabine Meyer playing the Strauss Romance in Eb for
clarinet & chamber orchestra, with the Munich Phil. Chamber Orch. She
sounded great, as usual, but her emoting easily got on the nerves. At
times, she would bend over so far that her bell was almost touching the
stage floor. While I realize this is an individual "thing", I wonder if
performers know that, to some people, it's distracting from their playing.
Opinions?
