Graham -

In his Singin' in the Rain scene, Gene Kelly does things that are almost impossible. You think "That's almost impossible. I could never even come close."

Fred Astaire did things that *are* impossible, and you think "I could do that."

When I watch Stefan Temmingh's YouTube clips --
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXJBcV8ZlHY&feature=mfu_in_order&playnext=1&videos=vgEK2kxR4VY for example -- I'm very aware of how difficult the music is, and how flawlessly he brought it off.

The Telemann that Bruggen plays is much more difficult than Temmingh's Veracini, technically as well as musically, but sound like the simplest thing in the world.

Frankly, they're not in the same league. Temmingh plays far too fast, runs phrases together and misses almost every opportunity to make *music* instead of swoop around and show off. Worse, each section sounds like the last one. A gigue must have a bouncy swing, and the B section changes character and must relax. He misses it completely in the frantic rush.

With Bruggen, every phrase is musical and moves perfectly to the next phrase, and each movement has its own dance character.

It's my ideal -- the art that conceals art. Thanks to Tony for finding it for us.
