This lady projects the full sexual allure of Kashmir like no man can (sorry Robert Plant). The start and stop of her skilful fingers, while drawing out those torturous sweet notes with her smooth masterful strokes. I am referring to her fingering and bowing of course.
Perhaps it’s her French and Argentine roots, resulting in both subtle seduction and full-blown passion. Perhaps it’s the heady mix of virtuosity and the almost tender interpretation of eclectic songs, which led The New Yorker to call her the “cello goddess”. Or the fact that she’s just so beautiful and focused in her music. Besides, who can resist the appeal of a cold bitch in utter control of her…instrument.
Thank you Maya Beiser. Yes, Led Zeppelin was good in that loose charm of a gangly boy toy, but you just made me want to turn lesbian.
