The 17th Van Cliburn Competition formed a media partnership with Gramophone magazine.
All fine and dandy.
But Gramphone’s reviews of the competition have been done from home.
Critic Jed Distler clarifies: Before discussing Friday’s performances, I should remind readers that I’m currently reviewing from The Cliburn’s livestream, where the clear and close-up sonic perspective apparently contrasts to Bass Performance Hall’s resonant ambience.
Draw your own conclusions (as you would if you were watching the livestream).
