Guys I think Sarah Chang is a Sibelius Superwoman!!!!!!!! Watch the moment of 7:23 !!!!!! Sarah Chang shaked her head and showed the audiences how enthusiastic she was.
I believe Sarah Chang is one of the greatest violinists ever! She is in the same league as Heifetz, Mintz, Oikstrakh, Paganini, Vivaldi, Perlman, and Haendel. She doesn't just play all the notes with technical perfection, she FEELS the music! It's almost like she herself feels all of Sibelius' emotions as she plays though this concerto, the same emotions he must have felt when he composed this music.
Fabulous playing from Sarah and the orchestra sounds fantastic this is such a beautifully orchestrated concerto it helps when the group sounds as good as the soloist.
ab 6:50 ist das sowas von wunderschön! wahnsinn! ich liebe opus 47 von sibelius!!! hat mir während meiner prüfungs-vorbereitung 2010 durchweg zur seite gestanden. herrlich! auch abends bei einem glas rotwein! :-)
As magelpie said, this is a HEAVENLY interpretation of the Adagio movement! It's as if she personally knew Sibelius, because it sounds like she is conveying and transmitting the exact emotions with which he composed this violin concerto. She is my musical role model, I'm practicing hard to be as good as she is very soon!
now why should you mind the comments of those haters? why let their ridiculous comments affect your judgment? close your eyes, listen... what do you feel? believe only that... not those dead weights
You don't have to compare yourself with nobody. Each of us is unique! As a musician, you have to spend your time achieving quality in your playing and developing your personality. Don't use your energy on thinking of others or making comparison. You need your energy and your strenght to become better and better..
to be this good, you just have to be dedicated and in love with the music. you cant really put any specific number of hour it takes for solid technique and musical maturity. everything obviously comes with time.
What a rude and brutal way of playing .. I think that playing well past the bow of a hit so hard and ... uffff sounds horrible, poor violin and bow .. and ¿who told hher to play Sibelius was doing pieces the violin, and so away and aggressive ..?
HORRIBLEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! rude, agressive, this is NOT Sibelius
It is possible to be this good, but you're going to have to practice like 5 hours daily for about a year to get this good. You can do it. I want to play as good as her too...right now, I'm going through the Bruch concerto. What are you playing right now?
Well, that's not necessarily true. I saw 9-year-old Valerie Kim playing the Bruch violin concerto very well, and I've seen other child prodigies playing through some fiendishly-hard stuff. Becoming a violin virtuoso is all about patience, dedication, and perseverance, not about how much time it takes.
My favorite movement from this concerto is "Allegro Ma Non Tanto". It almost makes you want to dance, even though it's unusual to dance to classical music!
However sometimes I think that her vibrato and stroke is a little too intense for the moment- though that's merely a matter of personal taste! She plays beautifully, and I really enjoyed this.
sarah chang is a beautiful virtourso violinist and totally rocked sibelius concerto! oh yea! woot woot!! i wish there was a video of her playing tzyigane by ravel..
The idiocy of commenting a violinists weight just because she is a woman is truly vomit-inducing. Sarah Chang is one of her generations most accomplished performers,and her Sibelius is among the most deeply felt performances i have ever heard. Mr van Zveden
a wonderful violinist in his own right and
nowadays also a first class conductor provides with his orchestra a balanced yet powerful rendition of the score.Please weight watchers,lift You pigly faces out of the mud
@dereczynski Ah thank you, I was trying to find out the name of the conductor. I see he's now at Dallas, a few hours away from me. Hopefully I'll get to hear him live some day.
A blanket sterotypical statement about all Korean make that all Asian violinist lol and isn't Sarah like from Philly? I've met her she's like the girl next door (the very beautiful girl next door).
i've seen her perform this in LA. she lost alot of weight in this clip. she looks stunning. i love her stage presence. she's not that tall in person, but on stage she always looks statuesque and solid. even when she is being aggressive with that forearm, she stiall always manages to look relaxed, graceful, and feminine. although she is one of my favorites, i don't care for all of her recordings, however, she is beautiful to whatch , nonetheless.
