»To love Schubert means […] to master the art of patience,« writes Khatia Buniatishvili about the composer to whom she dedicates her recital. The self-confessed feminist recognises feminine aspects in Schubert’s work: »What sings in Schubert’s music is that femininity which has sprung from a state of greatest vulnerability – love – and which is transformed into a stronger force: The power to act, to create, to exist.« This power will be experienced in the thundering presence of the seemingly endless hammering accompaniment figures in Franz Liszt’s »Erlkönig« arrangement – one of Buniatishvili’s showpieces."
so basically she thinks schubert was a greedy bottom and erlkonig shows he liked gettin that ass blasted- hard.
i mean, it doesn’t have any significance, just a vapid, desperate attempt to make Schubert relevant to our current social situation, which of course, he doesn’t need any help with, least of all from ms. khatia
now that i think about it… i think she might actually be a drag queen doing performance art as ‘sexy concert pianist’. look at her ruby comp performances- def could be a boy. then, all of a sudden, comes the lipstick, the wig, the boobs… and, this written stuff is so campy, her whole brand is literally gay as fuck.
its a man in a dress with makeup, this is my theory and im sticking to it! maybe i spent too much time here already
Then I just want to say how proud I am to celebrate the beautiful body of this trans woman and how important sexual identity is in something as personal as the arts.
