Ah, much better.. which brings to mind where I was going with the film analogy (it doesn't work in baseball) about the state of the art in any given decade or era about acoustics, recording technologies and the like.
A good player is a good player no matter who hears or watches, or how they hear or watch.
But I am still looking to top my experience watching Bobby Millitello chanting over the mouthpiece of his flute with the Dave Brubeck Quartet in Saunders Theatre doing an extending rocking version of "Koto Song".
It's about being in the moment, for listener or player/listener, and tapping into the eustress of the audience, the other players, and the music, and then letting it lift you to a higher plane.
