“
. . . live-streamed events have generated
moments of startling power. . . . One could instead
sample archived
professional-quality videos that opera houses, orchestras, and other
organizations have placed online. For me,
though, the live or freshly recorded happenings matter more. They
document, with the oblique power that the arts
possess, an extraordinary human phase in history. Their mere
existence is bracing. . . .”
~ Alex Ross, The New Yorker
