I just want to say thanks for restoring my love of classical music. I lost it for a while, thinking I was out of touch. I do like the new industrial racial music too.
How about showing a white man playing classical music?
Isn’t it enough that the composer was white?
Well, no. We’re trying to attract white people, especially young ones, and get them interested in white music. Peer pressure is everything. If white people see other white people doing white cultural stuff, they’d be more interested in our white culture.
Many whites are exposed to many forms of degrading music, namely pop/rock & roll. As a result they have forgotten white traditions & culture. It wasn’t too long ago we heard predictions that classical music was dying.
As a fan of certain operas and Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, for a long time I’ve noted much of audience tend to be older people (40+ & older). However, in the last few years, I’m seeing many more younger people in the audience. I saw the reason why – many of the performers are young whites. Peer pressure. White people enjoy watching other white people (of their age group) perform.
It’s the same with the European traditional dances. We’re getting young white people to come and learn traditional dances, all because dance teachers are young white people. Again, peer pressure works!
Hence videos posted here should show whites doing the performing, mostly for the sake of attracting other white people.
The main thing is the music. Other things being equal, I of course try to find white performers. But the Yo-Yo Ma version is the best.
Many of today’s best violin and cello players are Asian, because they still have the discipline to study these instruments.
Two worthy candidates for Video of the Day:
