Zigeunerweisen (Valerie Kim, 11)

[slartiruss]

Hi Ladies! The 12 people that entered a "Dislike" on this site should find another life that doesn't include YouTube in my opinion. Obviously, they don't know what this is all about or appreciate the fine work that you two young ladies have done here. Keep Up The Great Job! Best Regards! Your Fan, Russ

[joia111094]

How old is valerie if she is at julliard?

[great4702]

Can't belive people those who gave dislike on this amazing performance??? Why???

[Atrena2000]

Oh wow wow wow whuah!!! AMAZING BOTH OF YOU! althought there were a few mistakes on the violin but thats okay cause this is a very hard piece! By the way i know those mistakes cause i have perfect pitch like when i go to a concert if somebody missed a note or someting i'd know! YOU BOTH WERE AMAZING! Valerie had a very hard part on the violin and Dominique had to keep up if valerie makes any mistakes both jobs are very hard.

[TheDoninwhiting]

Hey big bug, what stung you in your heartless brain!! Perlman would have open arms

with these young ladies, welcoming them and encouraging them, with their God-given talent!

[xmiromariex]

Valerie, how long do you practise every day? You're playing so good I can't describe. I'm playing violin for 6 years and I am not nearly as good as you were at the age of 9. I really love your vids and I'd really like to see more of your performances. When are you in concert next time, and where?

[jungkim2020]

@Bigbug123456 Hi, Valerie here. I do have some videos of "easier" pieces. Sorry, you happened to find this one first. It's kind of funny you mention Mr. P. I sure hope he doesn't think I'm mocking him. hhh

[chobeethaninov]

@Bigbug123456 Funny you say that. Valerie is studying with Perlman at Julliard right now.

[snowking0215]

Dear Valerie and Dominique! You guys are FABULOUS! Amazing talent and amazing parents!! Go Korean moms!! Whoo! And how did your Juilliard audition go??

[jungkim2020]

@snowking0215 Hi. Juilliard auditions were a year ago.. We're finishing up our first year now. They obviously went very well. The Bach violin video is of my recent recital there. Thank you asking! ;-)

[Fyrafly]

too bad she messed up oh well its extremely good though!

[snowking0215]

@Fyrafly Where?? I didn't catch it.. :)

[Fyrafly]

@snowking0215 @ 7: 05 she stumbles a little

[snowking0215]

@Fyrafly Yeah but this is a really tricky piece...anyways its understandable because she's so young when she played this. I mean if she was like 14 or 15 then it would be a different story...

[turtoy1]

well i am playing this piece and she does well but i think i could do a little bit better not 2 brag or anything

[snowking0215]

@turtoy1 How old are you? She's 11... LOL!

[rosamadchen]

I basically spent my whole weekend listening to this video over and over again.

[babak319]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaawsome!!!!!!!!!! :O

[kuroiyukihime]

just OH MY GOD

[madus2533]

She's very talented

[robviolin1]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!

[blaze8998]

I can't even drescribe how shocking it is to see this. This. Is. Talent.

I wish I could play like them both, piano and violin.

Spectacular.

[theviolinmusicfan]

Does Valerie play any sports?

[PETEBOOKIE1]

I APLOUD YOU ! MAGNIFACENT..!

[khira07]

Even thought there was a few mistakes.. IT DIDN'T FAIL TO WOW ME!! GOOD JOB! :D

[Kiora711]

Such a beautiful song!

[iturri200]

Me conmueve ver una pieza tan complicada en unas manos tan frágiles, que no desmerecen en nada la ejecución. Fantástico el contraste, pero..¿no estaria mejor es niña jugándo y haciéndose mujer antes de cargar sus delicadas manos con una pieza semejante?

[mariadelamor21]

Excellent!!!!!

[ALBYPAOLO]

Beautiful!!!!

[splincerhunterX]

They're so very talented musicians, I can dream to see them at Broadway someday :)

[carriephlyons]

beautifully controlled spiccatto playing and position work. Your intonation is very good as was the left hand pizz work. You seem to have a real understanding of the music your are playing and put across a well thought out interpretation here. Nice Job!

You can really be proud of your musicianship and maturity of performance. Don't let the occasional idiot on youtube bother you :)

[1discipulo]

Are they sisters?

[EJAPRIB]

Now the violinist is really ready to play this piece, unlike her earlier video. She puts in lots of expression and and can feel it from her heart.

[dzeljpiano]

You create really a gypsy sound : )

[toyakira89]

she recover from her mistake well~~~

[Tanya26082000]

very well played...i am speechless

[kaiyukizhuang369]

these 2 are music geniuses i mean i've seen many of their music pieces and i can't help but be utterly amazed at the level they play on. amazing job to valerie and dominique kim!

[Tanya26082000]

love her vibrato!

[louisefleurdelys]

Ces deux petites musiciennes sont aussi adorables que talentueuses.

Je ne me lasse pas de les réécouter.

[absdasiy]

I laughed at 7:06 :)

Really a small fault that she forgot the fingering, making a small mistake in a perfect piece.

But I was really amazed :)

[RosevilleCA]

Valerie, so beautiful!

Your playing melted my heart completely down. What a talent!

So touching performance.

Brava! you will go far

[ediboyzee]

these girls should be featured at OPRAH

[azotmazot]

... ts ts ts, - oprah is not the end of the world!

there are plenty of very good places where they could be featured !

[kathli8695]

vibrato this time :D

piano is great as always

[LuckyAnimeGurl7]

Dominique and Valerie getting really awsome! They shoud get some more TV offers!

[Gumby1242]

What i like about this is that it wasn't just some prodigy that picked up an instrument and started playing some crazy piece of music. She didn't play it perfectly, but this is such a difficult piece and only the best of players will be able to play it perfectly. and you can tell that she's worked really hard to get to where she is. It was amazing.

[monkeystu52]

i agree. you can tell they both have natural talent to reach such a high level, but you can't get there without putting in a lot of hours. and it is always good to see small mistakes because then you know there room for improvement.

I'm sure the Kim family are very proud and quite rightly.

well played

[Tannersous]

although, there were errors, it is after all a gypsy piece, therefore it's not totally incorrect. she possilby had wanted that stylisticly.

[freedomjabar]

AMAZING!!!

[nimkus1995]

this is improved so much from tht other vid...nice jobb

[Stainlessfights4u]

Agreed

[kuvhlubkojibleegxwbo]

really nice and most of all, really in tune.

[kellyyyh]

she has improved much since the last time i watched these videos...:D i love this!! keep up the amaaaazing work!

[loscandelario]

This girl is a CHILD playing one of the most beautiful and challenging pieces ever written. Anyone who writes anything negative about this video should be shot. Great job girls, keep it up.

[xxchiefaustinxx]

much better this time.... she can do a vibratto no..makes the piece sound better..good job girls!

[italianwonder07]

if people say they aren't good, they're just JEALOUS. these girls are AMAZING.

[Troublespianist]

oh my god!! I have to say, when I was listening to this, I was speechless. I'm very VERY jealous of her long fingers at 10/11 years old ._.

superb! amazing! bravo!

[ennoid2008]

I just want you to know, that although I posted many comments never published, that these girls are what our society should have and cherish.

Yvon Dionne

[tmailu]

[kuvhlubkojibleegxwbo]

OMG at 7:05 she mess up, but it's okay.

[kuvhlubkojibleegxwbo]

this one is alot better than her others recording of this song.

[crisvk93]

OMG!! that girl is incredible! but i think the best thing at all is the expression in her face when she's playing... she lives her music.. :)

[puffgal1]

so she's a pianist n a violinist?

[yeachanpark]

you should send her to a music school like menuhin

[Morga22]

my eyes just POPPED! at 6.07' and from 8.15' till the end ...never seen anything like this..

the plays so deeply its unbelievably!

i don't think i'll EVER be able to play like she does..

[davidliao623]

holy shit!!! This is crazy!!! Good job!!!

[jen0989]

Much improved from the last version, excellent!

[sckoo81]

Bravo Valerie! Your playing gets better and more mature each time!  Nice save...hehe

[Arenn92]

[0dandie0]

와우. 오랜만에 보니 아이들이 부쩍 컸네요.

소리도 더 깊어진것 같아요.

Keep up the great work girls!!

[MeijiAixx]

Are they korean?

[elzny]

Yes- check out the username of this account - jungkim2020 - 200% Korean. :D 20% of entire S. Korea's last name is Kim. If you count Park, Kim, Lee, Jung, you cover about 60% of the country. These 2 girls are simply amazing. Such emotions, I have goose bumps... Bravo!

[orangebananahslug]
