  • 정경화 선생님의 열정이 부럽다..

  • boo asians !

  • A little bit too aggresive in parts for me. Cracking performance though!

  • HA. I love her personality.

  • .....this is hard work!!!!.....congratulations!

  • sorry it just sounds weirdd because i always hear the sarah chang version. i just hink this sounds so weird

  • @celloisastronomical if you like, listen to janine jastin version.they both have passion. a different view

  • @celloisastronomical sorry mistake.mean janine jansen. i love sarah chang too, as well as the others.

  • Such a happy piece.

  • such passion!

  • 1:02-1:04, the two bars with C# in.. gives me little butterflies everytime... :)

  • A melhor interpretação que eu ja ouvi até agora

  • Listening to this performance made me even more determined to learn this. Such passion and emotion in her playing. So inspiring!

  • @lucyangharad Don't get discouraged! The Chops required to "Bow" correctly are horrendously hard. Kepp on pluggin away..It not easy in the least sense of everything "luck

  • this interpretation made me just fall in love with this movement

  • Just so you know, although I am NOT the person who said 'very korean' in one of Kyung Wha Chung's videos, I'm korean. The conductor kind of reminds me of a muppet. I wonder if I'll EVER become like her...I mean like famous.

  • Just so you know, although I am NOT the person who said 'very korean' in one of Kyung Wha Chung's videos, I'm korean.

    The conductor kind of reminds me of a muppet.

  • SHE ROCKS!!!

  • Her tone is so beautiful and sensitive, feeling that the bird is singing.

  • I ♥ this movement

  • I've listen this so many times and yet evrytime I lsiten to it it jsut gets better =)

  • Where oh where is the 2nd mvnt???

  • This is so amazing it gives me goose bumbs

  • Perhaps it's my 100th return to this video over years. I am no kidding. And I never get tired of watching her playing, not just Bruch, but every others. It's so nice of her that no matter how knotty the piece is (e.g. Bartok), she let me really understand the piece (it comes very much natural yet so passionate yet...poetic!). She proves that the music is not just a mere arrangement of notes, rather it is tool to develop one's emotion.

  • @gurtrudelim i dont think that u have the required sense for music because if u do u would have understand that that what she plays here is just a musical masturbation..i'm sorry but this performance is so immature and overconfident with no argument to stand for that confidence.. :\ i'll just put it this way..it sucks :)

  • @MsMarino19 I understand that one can not love every single interpretations by many performers. For example, I personally didn’t prefer Sarah Chang’s Bruch although many people liked so much. But hey! As much as I repeatedly listen to Sarah’s performance, I started to see something unique and something that I never noticed before. It is a matter of preference. Without it, there is no evolution in the music world. If you think Chung's intepretation sucks, I can't argue, since it's your thought.

  • @MsMarino19 Who says that music has to be "mature"? If you don't like it then don't listen to it, but your oppinion isn't everything. With so many different types of music now, there is obviously a broad range of what people like. With 650 likes and 31 dislikes on this video, I am pretty sure it doesn't suck. And she's the pro, she knows what she's doing.

  • Comment removed

  • @MsMarino19 I feel sorry that you can't just enjoy the music around you. and btw, she doesn't play in the first bar. You're just as young and inexperienced as I am. Do you think you could do better?

  • Comment removed

  • @MsMarino19 post a video. i would like to see your failed attempt.

  • @MsMarino19 Balooney. You teacher did this, you teacher did that... But what did you do? In music, that's what really counts. I can also brag here endlessy about my teacher's deeds, but it is irrelevant. Come on, tell us you experience with world class orchestras performing the Bruch, since you said you "already did". Or, even better: post a video to prove your points... it's so easy to bash the great on youtube and and then say "goodbye" and run away, my dear. Don't be that frivolous anymore.

  • @MsMarino19 LOL... your distasteful tone makes me laugh

  • @MsMarino19 you would know what musical masturbation sounds like. -_____-

  • thsi is not good.. :/

  • Speechless AND exhausted, emotionally and physically!

  • In 2007, Kyung Wha Chung joined Juilliard as a member of the faculty of the school's Music and Pre-College Divisions!

  • She is great. But there is someone even better. Herself in the 2002 proms video!

  • There are some strange things, but otherwise I think is not bad. Nice work. Congratulations.

  • @Hinata2845 Not Bad? Not Bad? I'm really only half-kidding you here...But ask yourself this question.

    Is there anyone else that can use the bow like Kyung can? I don't think so. Her bow technique is nothing short of amazing in this vid..........Cheers!!!:)

  • There are some strange things, but otherwise I think is not bad. Nice work. Congratulations. (Y) =)

  • Great performance!!! Just love her style & poise!

  • WOW! She's awesome! She plays so beautifully!

    I'm going to play the 1st 90 seconds of this violin concerto for the audition on America's Got Talent, IF I get through to the next phase of this epic competition. I hope everyone will like it!

  • @zucchini2007 WHOA!! good luck :) i just got this piece from my teacher and its awesome!!

  • @mAj8695 Thanks! Yeah, this piece is a lot of fun to play!

  • Oh my Jesus. I just got goosebumps!

  • I love this performance ... spine-tingling

  • she looks so sweet when she's smiling at the end.. :)

  • She seems quite satisfied with her performance at the end and quite rightly so. Best interpretation of Bruch violin concerto I've ever heard. Not only did she play well, but the violin was perfectly in sync with the orchestra. Very impressive indeed!

  • @pinball2734: Quite excellent, but I'm still partial to Stern's performance.

  • the conductor is anne sophie mutter's former husband.

    Holy shit.

  • @crabmasterdeluxe In 1989, Mutter married her first husband, Detlef Wunderlich, with whom she had two children, Arabella and Richard. Wunderlich died of cancer in 1995. She married the pianist and conductor André Previn in 2002.

  • @tonyNZAuckland and i thought he was a lawyer. 0_o

  • She is a little scary in this particular video... and the conductor does seem to be going crazy. However, scrolling away from the video and listening the music they make, does it matter? :)

  • she really gives me fear, i think that she feels the music too much

  • what sort of dictator is removing reactions here; is there any sort of control on that?

  • Perhaps the posters of the comments below should concentrate on the sense to be used in music.EARS

  • a lot of the time the conductor will allow the soloist to lead instead of him/her. This conductor looks pretty laid back, you can notice at certain parts everyone shifts their attention to him.

  • Comment removed

  • Absolutely fantastic!! I have to wonder about the conductor though; nobody is looking at him and, therefore, all he seems to be doing is acting like a clown...wonder if this is a general problem with conductors....

  • Excuse me, I notice that you have both the 1st and 3rd movements recorded. Do you by any chance have the 2nd movement recording from this concert? I can't seem to find it on youtube. Sorry~!

  • pure talent!

  • For this piece and Mendelssohn, Kyung Wha Chung is just the absolute best. Notice how bold she is with those staccato jumping notes - I haven't seen any more who can better that. The note came out with bounce and yet with body. It is an impossible feat. I almost have tears in my eyes each time I watch. And those quick long up bows that starts a phrase.....she is not human....

  • @bearbear631 Her bow technique is nothing short of amazing.

    I too watch in awe as she plays here.

    This is one of those performances where everything comes together. The orchestra is in sync and playing great. And Kyung is spot on. One of my favorite videos on youtube. Kyung Wha Chung is a superb musician. :)

    You have to work hard to get to be that good ...no matter how talented.

  • Laaaaaa miglioreeeee The Best! Unique!!!!!!!!!

  • What makes her playing so special and totally distinct is a certain intense excitement which comes through in all her performances. There have never been a more spontaneous and imaginative violinist. This kind of musicality is so elusive and sounds so completely natural that a musician, in order to play like this, has to have musical talents of volcanic proportions.

  • This evening I heard the "Magic flute" performed in Metropolitan. Would be nice of you to support our Project building a childrens hospital in Kambodscha by taking place. Thanks Crysalla

  • How can i get away with this video..... addictive! ..you made the violin a medium of your genius and great expressive soul. I like the color of your gown by the way! ...lol... honestly!

  • With this caliper of playing ,any critical comments are really just nit-picking..

    This whole performance is just magical :) The whole idea is to stir the emotions. To make the soul soar...and this certainly does :)

  • @lflarry1 This evening Iheard the "Magic flue" performed in the metropolitan. It has to be heard in germany on the radio WDR !!!. It is still on - and it is very great. Ido not love even this, but also Mozart. So I am one of these doctors, who take place in performing the "Magic flute" in July in Stuttgart germany. I had the idea, that Chung could play the first violin and will help to build up a new childrens hospital in Kambodscha. Sincerely, best regards Crysalla

  • gênios!!!

  • Dearest Kyung Wha Chung, you are really

    one of the greatest violin-players, like Nathan Milstein - I am adoring you. You

    played Bruch concert with not ony perfect technique but also motion. Very, very fine. My best regards , sincerely . Dr. Ulrike von Stoltzenberg, surgess from Germany

  • Dear Kyung Wha Chung, I ws intears, that fine has been yout Bruch- Concert. Almost I love you and youe art. Thank you very, very much Crysalla

  • @Crysalla Kyung Chung is a teacher at juilliard school of music in NYC if you want to address any mail to her.

  • she seriously makes it look so easy...!

  • Still the best interpretation in my heart, even after I have watched/listened to 10s other recordings

  • Beautifully played! Love it! =D

  • I love the way she plays this. She maintains high energy through the whole piece, and her phrasing has that extra bite.

  • Oh man, I'm working on this right now. Gorgeous interpretation, how can you live up to this? : p

  • of course she's fantastic --- but someone please tell me what the hell is the point of a conductor when it's obvious that NO ONE in the orchestra is looking at him?? I've seen the same in many other videos, In fact the Orpheus orchestra gets along fine without one.

  • they do look at him, you just can't really tell. If you've ever played in an orchestra before...you'll know that you usually use your peripheral vision to keep with the conductor, because he's the one holding everyone together. Some outstanding orchestras may get along fine without one, but the conductor is there to guide you through changes of tempo, style, etc. It's pretty dang hard to have a whole orchestra/symphony change at the SAME time to the RIGHT tempo without a conductor.

  • I've heard that desperate "peripheral vision" reply too often. I was the concertmaster of the Cornell U Symphony nobody paid attention to the conductor while playing. Granted we paid attention to comments AFTER we stopped playing; maybe that's one role of the conductor.

    As you yourself admit orchestras more and more are doing just fine without a conductor(Itzhak Perlman is now conducting and he has no training.) The existence of orchestras like the Orpheus speaks for itself on that issue.

  • I have to laugh at the picking a part of these artists. For us "average" folks, we know good music when we hear it and this is GOOD music. You all pick apart the techniques and stuff. Have fun.;

  • Very clean playing. I enjoy her use of bow

  • I saw her doing this live in the Royal Albert Hall in the mid 1970's - she was awesome!

  • wow I almost cried. she's amazing!!! I'm thrilled!

  • Comment removed

  • i think she plays this piece better than Sarah Chang......thats my opinion. :]

  • well duh!!! she's so much more matured than her

    i'm sorry if i'm being rude but shes just at different, incomparable level to sarah chang

    sarah chang is still amazing though

  • good point, im sure that chung has much more experience than sarah. although sarah chang is still a very good player

  • Awesome!

  • Im sorry but the recording of Yehudi Menhuin playing the Bruch beats everything i have ever heard. It is astonishing- the sound he makes is so ...pure!

  • i think it's amazing that she could play such a technically challenging song (suffice to say it's really fast) and yet make it incredibly expressive at the same time.

  • Absolutely Awesome...........Brava :)

  • This is absolutely amazing. I love this piece, and the way she plays it.

    I also love how there aren't any negative comments about this video :)

  • Wonderful....Awesome Talent!! :)

  • Kyung Wha Chung''s brother is my piano teacher : D

  • Really?????

  • thats so cool, where are you studying?

  • Beautiful! This goes in my favourites.

  • i can't get enought of this.

    so much passion. so much energy.

    kyung wha chung is amazing.

  • her raw emotion gave me shivers. amazing.

  • It's been 2 years enjoying this clip, but I never ever got tired of watching this. Just like Horowitz's perfomance!

  • What? I thought Horowitz was a pianist... or is this another Horowitz with a first name other than Vladimir?

  • AHMAZING. I love herrrr.

    I want to hear the 2nd movement as wel.. :-/

  • I'm going to miss this when I die.

  • same here.

  • she is EXTREMELY involved in her playing and the music. music loves her as she does... she proves it

  • AMAZING!

  • Excellent perfornance, very relaxed and stress free, love the Bruch Concrto!

  • A wonderful performance of both the 1st and 3rd movement; now a question as a comparisonwatch Sarah Chang play this movement with James Levine conducting; do I sense a bit of tension in Sarah's performance? If so, is this not a call from the conductor(any conductor) what spped do you wish? The movement is marked Allegro Energentico which means "full of energy" I believe I see a more relaxed playing and conducting with Previn over Levine. Would anyone please comment?

    Thank you in advance!

    Robert

  • Ok, bottom line, her interpretation is like NO ONE elses, which is a good thing. :) It is the best!

  • Does anyone know what happened to her other performance posted on youtube in which she performs with her brother?

  • i love how she expresses both liveliness and darkness as the piece flies by. i wish i could play like this

  • I agree with all of you concerning her performance and interpretation of this concerto. I just wish they would bring out a cd or dvd of her performance of B.V.C and Scottish Fantasy, my record is all scratched up.

  • Certified Intergalactic! The best rendition of Bruch Violin Concerto in living memory.

  • She's amazing...and I love this concert:D

  • I love this piece.....!!!

  • she's so perfect... im learning this right now and i just cant help but watch this over and over and over......

  • The very best Bruch player ever in the history!! Bravo!!

  • Superb beyond words.

  • It seems like that this concerto composed for her. Just like Jacqueline Du Pre's Elgar cello concerto... Best bruch I've ever heard...

  • Sublime, fantastic,

    I'm quite old and it is just superb. Equally I used to race GP-style motorbikes and love her risk... Thankyou

  • A great performance, lovely to have it recorded, and so much better than some. Brilliant with energy, oh being young!

  • Fantastic!!!

  • This is the best portrait ever for the piece! Passionate, lively, flawness. BRAVO, it's brilliant!

  • she is great!

  • you just dont hear the music but the soulful process beyond human! she reached the demonic side of playing violin!

  • si, es excelente violinista. pero detesto los gestos de su cara, no le quedan muy bien.

  • This brings back happy memories of a concert in the Fairfield Hall when after playing the concerto the orchestra left and Previn played piano for Kyung Wha Chung in Kreiselr and other show pieces. Fantastic.

  • when was this?

    if i know correctly, it's been almost 30 years since Previn and KWC played together

  • By far, she is the BEST Bruch on string. I've heard about a dozen different violinists play this piece,but Kyung Wha Chung alone sets Bruch's score on fire with razor sharpness. Her Mendelssohn violin concerto is also brilliant.

  • this is brilliant, i love the way she plays it, she has so much life!

  • This is allmost the same interpretation as Heifetz. Heifetz is slightly quicker, but this is very good.

  • Kyung Wha Chung's version of the Bruch concerto is by far the best interpretation of the piece. It is as if he wrote this piece for her alone. Her style of playing and his composition of this piece is like destiny

  • kyung wha chung's interpretation of the bruch is the greatest. the most pure, fitting interpretation of this piece. something about her style just absolutely clicks with this

  • Agreed!

  • By far the best Bruch

    She shows lots of passion for the music

  • perfect, faultless, flawless

  • Beautiful.

  • Amazing.

  • what happened at 6:20

  • How old was she then?

  • In her 20s then.

  • Phenomenal, love the music, and ammm extremely jealous of the soloist's talent =)

  • WHAT a performance!

  • phenomenal playing! Bravo!!

  • I <3 you

  • Born Mar 26, 1948 makes her 61 this year (2009) -- and still in her prime!

  • This woman couldn't be 61 years old.

  • I LOVE this!!!

  • I heard Ms.Chung's interpretation of 2nd movement was always controversial....  maybe that's why the OP is not posting it...

  • what do youmean its always controversial?????? its the first time Im hearing about this.

  • Oh, you mean when she gets nekkid, smashes her fiddle, and then slaughters a goat on stage? Yeah, that's kinda controversial, I guess.

    Seriously, what the hell are you talking about?

  • great rendition yes a little aggressive but only the beter for it, great bowing too. you can tell shes really into it

  • excellent. yes quite aggressive interpretation (love the bowing) but i think this just adds to it -straight to favs

  • bravo indeed. v aggressive bowing but its superb. great passion and soul, excellent rendition of bruch here - this is ging straight to favs

  • DIVA!

  • she just overwhelmed me

  • wonderful performance..thank you

  • I love this lady's command of her bow.

    Very Impressive

  • YEAH! ROCK'N'ROLL!

    great but in my taste there's to much brutality...

  • I had read somewhere that she had left Galamian for DeLay, I could be mistaken.

  • I don't think that is true.

  • That is not correct. She remained with Galamian till her graduation from Juliard.

  • No. Maybe DeLay was an assistant of Galamian.

  • One word only: AMAZING !

    She must be around 16 yrs old? because Andre Previn looks quite young.

  • At that time, Kyung Wha Chung was in her 20's.

  • Does anybody know where can i download it to have it on itunes? If it's free, better :D

  • She is one of Delay's!!!

    R.I.P. Dorothy DeLay! we miss you!!!!!!!

  • Actually, Kyung Wha Chung is one of Galamian's pupils, not Delay's.

  • She assisted Galamian with Itzhak Perlman and Kyung-wha Chung. :D

  • Amazing performance !!! What a great experience to watch!! One of the best.

  • She does it almost as good as Midori!!! Brava!!!!

  • does anyone have her playing 2nd movement?

  • Wow... she is so amazing.

    How old is she then?

  • shes like a GIANT with that playing and stature at the ends of phrases. fuck man. if i could be around to watch all her performances from that age, id probably jizz-in-my-pants... if you know what i mean
