So what if it was a world famous musician playing on a 3.5 million dollar violin? They had him playing in a massive, noisy train station with horrible acoustics. The fact that he is one of the most talented musicians in the world is moot because he wasn't playing in an environment where that could be appreciated. Not to mention... classical. I love it. You love it. There's nothing about it that grabs the average person.
I've never been to that train station, but in train stations all over the world I've witnessed a higher degree of attention paid to artists. However, these artists are conveying an artform that can be appreciated in that sort of environment. Like break dancers. Or comedic magicians. Or drummers using garbage bins.
