I'm very touched that you took the time to share it with your circle.<br /><br />In my first article "I am Not an Accompanist", I spent a lot of time talking about labels and how we use them subconsciously and habitually often to our own detriment. Above you raise the important point about the perception of pianists when they are not in the frame, and only "the soloist" is. Unless the singer is alone onstage (i.e.: solo) singing "a cappella" I would argue that the term "soloist" doesn't apply. Art song and chamber sonatas are chamber music too, and until pianists and singers see themselves to be equals, the performances and recordings will suffer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434698128240600316noreply@blogger.com
