The software package which came with the basiCColor squid was basiCColor Display 2.5.4 originally written by Integrated Color Solutions (no relation to the cleverly named pretenders above) who sold the software and trademarks to German company basiCColor three years ago. State of the art, for a long time, 2.5.4 has dated badly in terms of profile speed (think ten to fifteen minutes to generate a single profile, with quite a bit of manual intervention)…. With the inefficient, labor intensive backed involved in trying to do an upgrade (if you lose your password to your user account, the basiCColor.de website is not even able to send you a new one – you have to call them), no wonder they need triple license fees.

Knocking down the ADC D65 profile to a target maximum luminance point of 173 cd/m2 gave a result of 162 cd/m2 which didn’t blow out any whites and gave very natural colour which matched the Samsung 213T well enough. The Apple Cinema Display has a bit more kick and a little more depth in the shadows but one could work on the same pictures on either monitor and get very comparable results.

In Act II where Onegin and Tatyana meet at a Petersburg ball and Onegin tears up Tatyana’s letter to him in front of her eyes, Sue Jin Kang again went through the motions of lovesick madness well enough – it’s a scene which reminds the viewer of Giselle’s dance of death in front of the Royal party at the end of Act I of Giselle – as she flees the ballroom…. Alas, as I noted earlier Jelinek is not at his best as the older broken Onegin – maybe in a few short years (balletic life is every so short) when he is holding onto Onegin as one of his last principal roles at the Stuttgart Ballet, he will be ready to interpret the regrets of the old roué playing his final unsuccessful card.

1 CommentOn a sidenote, I am certainly glad that I bought the CD’s at the concert as from both the Viktoria Tolstoy website and the ACT music website for her albums My Swedish Heart and , there are no direct links to buy either of her CD’s…. I criticise the Americans for their crass commercialism, but a discreet buy here link would be just fine.

Many of the DJ’s seem to play whatever is ghetto and cool in the United States (not the mainstream charts, but underground ones) without thinking much if they like it or not, if the music is any good or not, or whether the music means a damn thing to someone sitting in beautiful Vienna…. Zeebee played us a short set from priorities in the Rot Bar (in Volkstheater right next to Museumsquartier just outside the first district – great location).

With his Nicht nur Mozart, Wien Staastoper (Vienna State Opera) ballet director Gyula Harangozó has truly thrown down the gauntlet. Not just Mozart, as part of Vienna’s Mozart year is a very whimsical almost taunting title to a show.
