About sight overpowering hearing . . . . I listen to online music videos without watching them. A lot these days.
Once while driving, I turned on the radio to a classical station. A piece was being played. A single note was heard, played by a single instrument, and I immediately turned off the volume and announced to my passenger the composer, piece, conductor, and orchestra. And I was right. Am I awesome? - no, lucky. It was the hideous sounding bell the BSO under Munch used to use in the finale of Symphonie Fantastique. Unmistakable and unforgettable.
- which has little to do with stage presence, except that all you need from music is in the sound.
