[sjiang881100]

WOW



[ppbrune]

good, but not the best.

[coolpinkone]

Inspiring.

[nikkirauwerda]

Why is this recording in G# minor???

[ADAMBOMB2DETONATE]

She is THE VERY BEST!  Nobody stands along side her except her true love.

[ADAMBOMB2DETONATE]

MY baby! MINE!..heheee

[xxFlowerBlossomxx]

My IDOL :DD

[Keyhan37]

Hi bratz545454,you don´t need to wonder because she has allready played this Master pice for Violin in an amasing Powerfull Interpretation,i Know that because i allready have this wonderful Violin Music Pice from Sarah Chang,you can try to find it,with best wisches for you and your Famillie.

[bratz545454]

I wonder if she can play the Devil Thrill? 

[Rocreb168]

H-O-L-Y C-R-A-P!!!!!!!

[paimonymusic]

Thank you. Going to sample this and make a song out of it.

[babewire]

Is she epileptic?

[xXSherviNXx]

@babewire wtf?

[qqso69]

Amazing talent, I wish we as a society will publicized more this kind of music and musicians, because what we hear in radios and tv across America is mostly trash. Keep the good work....

[Yuki2905]

i seriously dont like her version of presto, well, i never denied that she is absolutely gifted and talented but her version of this sucks :x i feel that she was just fighting for SPEED, yes this song is fast but i can find the differences between hers and vanessa-mae's version. i disagree with vanessa's image but her version of storm is WAY better than this, just a feeling, no offense, peace ;/

[coolapple14]

Thumbs up if MysteryGuitarMan sent you to this. :-D

[leibnizsulbaran]

Tremendo...

[pepinf19juin]

Even though he plays the piano... Doesn't matter. I dare you to find a better Asian pianist than him, or Claudio Arrau.

[WistfulnessLonging]

@pepinf19juin Racist comment

[pepinf19juin]

Barenboim's better, bitches

[1kRaFt]

Great interpretation!

[ADAMBOMB2DETONATE]

You GO BABY!!! Damn she is so good...and so fine!!

[justiksheep]

Marvelous!

[Mazarbul]

Interesting what she does at the oend of 0:50. Still though, for me the reference point is Fabio Biondi - archmaster of the violin.

[tigerpause444]

I ride my motorcycle really fast to this song... thank you vivaldi for providing me my dose of ZEN. sarah chang, you're the doctor!

[Alexberryscarylovee]

Haha just heard Vanessa mae's version of this and there's no way she can compare to Sarah Chang at all...

[Ruizu22]

awesome !!!!! ^-^

[dasig2]

Totally Awesome!!!!

[Atrena2000]

WOW! She is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! Whoa! Just one question: Who is playing in the backround?

[Nobody5599]

we have better people on our musiccollege. they have played the whole piece with.. 11 or something like that..

[ADAMBOMB2DETONATE]

You GO BABYYYY!!!! She is the very best...and my baby.

[doraemon8061]

[P38FORK]

16 people can't hear a damn thing !!!.

[AnonymouslyFaceless]

My favourite movement from summer, the passion... <3

[aferventus1]

Simply Mesmerizing!

[SrDawalkin]

I'm glad you've played in the Dominican Republic, gave an excellent concert in Santo Domingo I liked a lot, you're the best, is so because God has blessed you this way and is playing the violin

[84Muse]

Woah. She's one hot violinist. And woah, she played that and managed to change her dress at the same time? Thats impressive

[JPLGaGa123]

I wonder how calloused her fingertips are...

[ctioblin]

Bravo, magnifique et en plus elle est belle comme un coeur. Si je l'avais eu comme prof de musique je pense que j'aurai fait davantage d'éfforts.

[myheimo]

super!!!!

[LehmannDaHero]

Well if you think this is that good just remember. This was composed by someone else. Played by thousands of violinists. She isn't the first person in the world to play it.

[farenheight999]

@LehmannDaHero wo cares?? She is really telented !!!

[TheMaria0306]

Simply beautiful

[CookiiOreos]

Shes living my dream.

[JPLGaGa123]

She is classical music incarnate.. Techno Violinists like Vanessa Mae can kiss my ass

[OFlute96O]

W....O....W. my opinion of it: If you want to be astonished, just click this video, than everything's fine!

For me she is something, that never has excisted! She is .... You can't compare her to anybody! She does this, because she likes it! As you can see, she is the best of the best

[ifnsman]

This music was originally meant to evoke the image of a raging thunderstorm in people's minds...

But, with her performance, she doesn't need that! She's just that awesome.

[MrOscypek]

This is REAL CLASSIC.

[robertslistening]

Totally excellent!!! I've been checking out some more of her playing. This is wonderful accompaniment also.

[DesiFuyuko]

I'd love to see her playing this live. Anybody know if there's a video on youtube? :)

[JPLGaGa123]

this should be popular!!!

[JPLGaGa123]

Vivaldi would have been proud..:)

[Saphirr24]

wooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo­oooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww­wwwwwww o_Ô

[CTSV4MEE]

It is nice to see songs like these being properly played today. It wont be too long from now where there wont be musicians with enough talent to pull a song off like this. Just listen to the music being shat out on the radio today and you see where it is going.

[Kashmiran100]

I am an eleven year old boy and that was the best two and a half minutes music I have heard, in my entire life. [ Posted with mom's permission]

[mdmf117]

Great rendition of this wonderful composition - i know that in the video she is not playing live but how come in the last note which is a G, which can only be played as an open string, she is doing vibrato? lol

[livelaughlovehelina]

@mdmf117 maybe the last note isnt G? haha idk...thats interesting tho...

[musicwaver]

@mdmf117 some violin players decide to vibrato on the 3rd finger of D string (which is a g higher an octave higher than open g) and play both strings and the same time (a double stop) for a special effect :D

[mdmf117]

@musicwaver Yes I get that (i'm a diploma level violinist) hehe but in the recording you cannot hear that G - but i side with sarah chang here - it always irritated me every time i played this work that you cannot finish with a vibrato since everyone plays an open G - hehe so thmbs up for sarah :) and thanks for your reply :)

[jburger360]

The part that starts at 1:08 is just too damn awesome.

[sweetienena]

this is a superb version.love the faster and more pronounced beat .



[wmyroslaw]

Надзвичайна сила почуттів!

[livelaughlovehelina]

i think that this was great...but idk there was something off...maybe im just off tho. 5 stars!!!

[SpeedingStudent]

Vivaldi would be proud.

[robertone10]

probably the most beautiful classical video i ever saw

[Rwolf66]

classic music+heavy metal=rlz

[SpeedingStudent]

@Rwolf66 This is so true.

[illevarslendetyrann]

ORGASM*

[1999maxitaxi]

its weird how people are always saying violin is always clasical when we have this amazing song this is amazing i would rather by 10000000 versions of this then one justin bieber song

[Gerard167]

Why Justin Bieber , Lady Gaga , and so on nonsense crap when we have such great talents ???

[xoxmylinh]

somehow music and lifestyle are the same.

life is easy today and so are the songs and how they are easy to play those that where written today.

life was hard back then and so where the songs written then too.

[debilitasmentis]

eargasm.

[MRchocolateAfro]

fuck you guys, i thought that was awseome. and why do you all care so much about sarah changs video? im just listening. this is my favorite rendition of thie song, and she SAYS she made her own changes. and legatosato, your a dumbfuck. sarah chang can play whatever the fuck she wants, and make aviolin music video about her in space. just so you know, a lot of well known prodigies and musicians do music videos on their own.

[LaNTHeGIGDICK]

i wanna pound her doggystyle!!

[theschizoid1]

@LaNTHeGIGDICK Anystyle,everystyle!

[legatosato]

HAHAHAHA this is hilarious!! what the hell is she doing with vivaldi?this is such bullshit - it's hall about Her and not the music. i don't buy it at all

[LilBromide]

@legatosato Agreed. It's weird seeing a music video for a classical song, especially when it features one beautiful violinist &disregards the other musicians. Guess they weren't pretty enough?

Anyways, the playing isn't that great either. Don't get me wrong, I could probably never play like her... ever. And her sound is fantastic. But I've heard wayyy better renditions of this piece. I mean, 1:59 - 2:03 sounded so strained and painful.

Like the violin ran out of breath.

[quickcooper61]

@LilBromide I don't know I think it is appropriate. The video highlights Vivaldi's inspiration for writing the work. Not only that but the work was originally written to be played by an all female orchestra, so only showing a female playing the solo violin makes sense. Although it would have been much more obvious and meaningful if a full female orchestra had accompanied her

[krion1983]

wow! 

[punkmusicmetal]

Enjoyed Nadja Salerno's performance much better. There's something a bit too choppy about this girls playing (I'm saying that from just listening, as the video is just there for show).

[theschizoid1]

Vanessa Mae clone?

[MrButinen]

@theschizoid1 No. VM would have a techno beat underneath the violin. Cos, apparently, that's good.

[theschizoid1]

@MrButinen Well, she is pretty good.

[MetalUpYourEar]

This is talent. Pop and hip hop can suck my dick.

[omartheomar]

@MetalUpYourEar Your right. I'd like to hear modern bands/artist come up with something like this. All they can probably think of are power chords :P lol

[NavyRudi]

@MetalUpYourEar i agree, full and with the blood of my heart, -iám crying while listening!!!

[ADAMBOMB2DETONATE]

@MetalUpYourEar I couldnt have said it better myself!!!!  Yessss...She is so fine....and so the badest and best!

[tartan819blue]

@MetalUpYourEar That's inappropriate.

[ktmcrfx]

@MetalUpYourEar i agree with yyou but the real talent is VIVALDI!!!!

[Barackovich]

@MetalUpYourEar Finally, someone with real sense that hasn't been desensitized to real music by drunken cock sluts like ke dollars ha im mean ke$ha

[Malaquiel09]

Maravillosa interpretacion de Summer (Mov.III)

[Joepower30]

gorgeous song

[CoonShoot]

I bet she likes rice.

[joe62293]

@CoonShoot we asians eat rice everyday

[aden0724]

@joe62293 that doesn't mean they all like rice!

[djramen]

Marry me.

[La0k00n]

hey black, this is a video bout music and I like this one, noone gives a shit bout her looking. In fact I dont like her face so what???? I like the way she plays and that is what counts you idiot

[uwebde]

Pretty nice and worth to listen and watching - excellent !

But never the less - ehere are the other musicans ?

[AlainNaigeon]

@uwebde This video is obviously a playback ;-)

[violinandviola1]

sarah does an excellent job of performing 'storm', her sound is clean and she plays it at a great tempo and is very original

[thrashitupX]

do ALL asian women play violin? because it seems that way.

[balenguer]

she isn't pretty but she is amazing

[La0k00n]

Her face looks like a pancake....

nice play tho

[blackxsx12]

@La0k00n ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ U R ''RACIST''

[lessthanat]

She's probably been playing since the day she came out of her mother.

[tbcass]

She's obviously excellent but I wonder how many equally talented violinists get over looked because they're not beautiful like her. I do not want to take anything away from Ms Chang but I believe as a society we are overly obsessed with looks (and I'm a guilty as the next guy). Just my 2 cents.

[tristancow]

i'm not very familiar with how this piece is actually played although it is quite an amazing piece.

was this whole piece done by one violin? because i hear very high notes and very low notes almost simultaneously. is there an accompaniment?

[kartiv2]

wow, she's amazing!

[HiRoTuBeCa]

I like her play and very sharp and transparent sound!

[Gothicviolinist]

when i m i going to play this vivid this like soooooooooo awesome!!!!!!

[deymathegreat]

beast:)

[Tadddius]

Sarah Chang Plays Mean Fiddle.

[sabinabarbara]

splendida carissima carmen ,dolce notte farfallina e complimenti a chi ha postato il video,grazie

[MagicalTalesOfWolves]

7 dislikes? Man that people must be spid...or jealous...=P

[janebondit]

I am speechless...

[MeJono88]

And people say that classical music can't rock! This is an unique interpretation by Susan Chang and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra - definitely worth a listen.

[keel421]

Epic eargasm

[crunk4124]

Go Sarah Chang go

[pligana]

amazing!!!

[RakhiBeti]

Beautiful music, beautiful video. I can only hope to ever be as good as her.

[valenresh]

i love this piece!!! and she plays it so well:D

[gro0vy0528]

I listen to this piece over and over again when I'm trying to finish my essay or assignment, because my hands move faster with the music. lol... I love, LOVE Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and I think Sarah Chang is a brilliant violinist.

[iwalkaloone]

AWESOME

[Pinfoop]

Sarah Chang is THE BEST forever for me...

She always play very clean and fulfill with many passion...

[alinzelnan]

0.59 sounds bad

[PalousR]

Haha really... agreed. Ur totaly right. :)

[thethinker133]

very well done. and it's all done by my favorite composer and musician. go sarah!!!!! =D

[medarsm]

WOW!! Proud 2 b a woman!! :)

[ShaDeSlayerStone]

Haha! @ Speeding Student! Something tells me it would take way more than just money to impress this lady. :)

[diejner]

Happy birthday, Signore Vivaldi! And yet I feel like I'm the one who got the gift here!

[SpeedingStudent]

Hot...and talented.

Another reason for me to get rich.

[dapidmini]

I love this song and this video made it much more wonderful.. I love how the scenery flashes around. it really make me feel like in the middle of a summer.

[iSkyce]

i can play the song but no wear near as good as her D:

[ThreeBallMan]

This is a talent like few the world has ever or will ever see again. Even with the exaggerated head movements you just can't deny the exceptional beauty that flows through her fingertips and out of her violin! Just WOW!

[mimuaklle]

i can´t believe!!! O_O

[skittycutiegirl]

did Sarah do a music vid for all the seasons? plz replay bck

[Eriksoniene]

This is more then a talent!!!

[GoldGiggler]

Wou wou wou....

Please don't tell me this is just a solo piece...

Please....

If she's playing ALL this with just one violin....

Then oh my god...

That's incredible....

But....I hope I'm wrong...

But anyway, it's good :-)

[ooosanteooo]

wtf are you on mate?

you can hear that its not just one violin. there is a harpsichord, another violin or viola and some other shit as well..

clean your ears :P

[GoldGiggler]

Hey, hey, no need to curse :-)

I'm not a pro in violin, but I just thought that she was fast enough to play something on the G-string but straight away at the E-string too, so there's like a technique or something to make it sound like more than one violin playing.

If I'm dead wrong, sorry.

[ooosanteooo]

you're talking about double stops.

yes. two notes from two strings at the same time.

but i think you were referring to the other instruments.

next year wish for happy new ears.

or go clean them!

[GoldGiggler]

Hahah Well. Thanks for letting me in.

[AlainNaigeon]

@GoldGiggler You'll find other videos of this Vivaldi "Summer", with the score shown while playing ; then you'll see that there are other instrumental sections (altos, cellos...)

[petynchik1]

perfect! amazing! wonderful! beatiful!!!!!

[bbbartolo]

This has got to be as easy for Sarah as "eating cake lying down" as the Koreans say. But brilliant, as you'd expect!

[SIMYOprods]

Its unbelievable... Very strong and perfect harmony

[Malfunction01]

wow she does all that with just one violin and a high tone of sarcasm, amazing..

[DrissirD]

Presto is realy hard to play. Nice job.

[edwardadmirer]

I'm a violinist too.....she's brilliant....I mean brilliant! She's like inspiration the next Itzhak Perlman.....there aren't words to describe....this.....I mean....well BEST VIOLINIST IN THE WORLD! I know how hard it is to play the violin...I've been playing concertos and sonatas for a while now...and god she's just superb....

[BubblyViolin11]

i wouldn't necessarily call her the next itzhak perlman, but she is phenomenal.

[diooib]

@edwardadmirer if you think you're good at something, there's always an asian doing it better

[PeterDivine]

@diooib That isn't necessarily a point against him. I mean, statistically, that many Asians, there would HAVE to be.

[Houda06]

@diooib lol...well said...u r right, coz they r the most hardworking ppl on earth.. i envy them

[AmedesTheKing]

@diooib she only could do karate better:)

[mrkaile87]

@diooib so true!

[NDEuro]

@diooib funny comment, but the best golfer is american, the best soccer player is argentinian, and Vivaldi was italyan, but LOL anyways

[jhavins12]

@diooib Yea, but they're usually wearing pretty fucked-up cloths while they're doing it..

[TrekBass]

@diooib Technically maybe. But I have not found too many Asians who can interpret music with emotion. It's often robotic, distant, unmoving ... no soul.

[aussieconservative]

@TrekBass that is really just a dumb thing to say. no offence but you would never hear a comment like that about say black people. My favorite pianist is Leif ove andsnes but I wouldnt make comparisons between him and lang lang just because of what i see with the naked eye.

[aguilarucho]

it's quite pretentious I think, because I also could say there's always an asian copying better....

[Nickdude6]

talent.beauty

[LeChanathon]

you have to take your hat down to her... sarah chang plays the most amazing music i've ever heard. =)

[gro0vy0528]

a child prodigy to the best violinist in the world.

[ledpenceal]

shes not the best in the world.... lol

[gro0vy0528]

well, to me she's the best. AND she's definitely one of the best out there.

[lovemetu]

Agree ''the best in the world '' she also plays with so much love and feeling for her music,love her performances .Sarah Chang playing is a delight !!

[EvaBartosova]

Very beautiful!

[qianweijia1]

i really like the setting she played in with the curtains and stuff

[medre]

an average  interpretation.......

[kubu79]

Yeah, average for excellent violonists. Certainly not for you.

[qianweijia1]

wow. that was like an epiphany, very well said ^_^
