I loved reading about 27 -year -old French pianist Alexander Cantolov. He is a new star in the classic world, won the main award, and will play in the rain at the opening ceremony of the Parisiang Games, and will debut at the Los Angeles Olympics. Friday is Philharmonic. What left an impression on Cantro was that even if fans with a placard seeking seats seemed to be fate, even if fans with a placard seeking seats flocked out of performance, they change their life and work. It’s his dedicated posture.
“I don’t really like changes and I don’t like unnecessary changes in my life,” said Cantolov. He has been studying with the same manager and teacher since he was 16, and still belongs to his small record label.
What a concept that resists unnecessary changes! In the fantasy of fame, people imagine how their lives change, each one is larger and more upgraded. I can’t pretend to be a musician on the cliff of Stardom, but I think the temptation to throw away the old way is intense.
Listening to the latest albums of Cantolov, which collected Brahms and Schubert’s works, I wondered how the efforts to maintain a stable state affect the artist’s work. As the classical music critic Zakary Wolf says, “Interesting tension between Cantro’s clear, pearl -like touch and romantic wildness in his music production” is inevitable. Will it change with changes? What is indispensable for artists and what external power is not affected?
I recently reviewed the Martin Scorsese concert film, Shine a Light, recorded the Rolling Stones performance at the Beacon Theater in New York in 2006. The shooting method of this movie is intimate, so it feels like you’re watching an artist on stage and creating art. 。 You are observing one of the most successful rock bands in history, that these people have played these songs millions of times, their reputation, wealth, and the world’s evaluation Basically, I forget that it is not known. Rather, it feels familiar and almost comfortable. How celebrities and wealth have changed them are out of the question. For this fan, Mick Jagger in the early 21st century of “Shine a Light” is essentially the same as Mick Jaguar, who was walking in the Gimmy Shelter in the 1970s, and last year’s “Hackney”.・ It is the same as the Diamons’ tour is enthusiastic.
It makes sense to think that artists have something fundamentally stable, independent of external power. This makes it easier for viewers to read while experimenting style, genre, and personas. Of course, it is well known that fans’ beloved artists have abandoned their personality (see: Bob Dylan at the New Port Folk Festival), and accused them that they have been unknown. Isn’t this annoying for artists? However, there is something wonderful to say that there is a fan base who wants you to be true and loves your essential part that you want to protect you. I think. that.
We always do it to those who actually know this, and provide them to them a mirror that reflects the loved ones. The challenge in art and life is that people can deform and experiment, while believing that the essence we worship is basically not disappearing. No matter how much change we choose or resist, it doesn’t go anywhere.

Advice from the wire cutter
Star Instant Ramen
Ramen is overturned the reputation as a university survival food. However, you can shine even if you only have a basic pack. My advice is to slice the vegetables thinly so that it can be cooked immediately with the noodles. Jungensai and Chinese cabbage are my favorite additions. As a protein, I love tofu, pouched eggs, or roast chicken of the leftovers. It’s a good idea to start with a wonderful instant noodle. Wire cutter experts have tasted dozens of instant noodles to prepare a new lineup of spicy, exciting and flavorful flavor. It is the best chopsticks for realizing the optimal smoothness. – Marilyn Ong
