Stravinsky： Violin Concerto 1st mvmt

[Oistrakhfollower]

Italian + Russian + French + a little creep = Stravinsky

[gentilguy]

no it has nothing to do with distinctive genetic traits related to ethnicity, but a lot to do with culture. It's almost all related to her culture I'd say. So yes there is a link to be done between her ethnicity and her talent, but not when you talk about genetic traits. That is merely a joke in my opinion. Some people may interpret it wrongly though, and that's bad.

[VanGoghLipstick]

Stravinsky is a reason to live.

[frankcisyarmi]

Excelente brillante Shin Hion Su su sonido especialmente agudo y dinamico + tecnica increible hacen de esta version algo especial !

[MsSingingcarrot]

I love Stravinsky's neo-classical style.

[FutureMoth]

This is super cool, I just wish the recording was crisper so I could hear all the instruments better. The solo Bassoons and stuff kinda get lost in the sound quality, but the sextuplet-septuplet trills they are playing are super cool!

[christopherlemon]

Is she asian??  I just thought she ate lots of rice.

[hantpak]

the piece is underestimated its a fantastic piece

[jockboy69]

@hantpak I totally agree! One of the great concerti of the 20th (or ANY) century! As long as the planet rotates on its axis, there will be performances of Bach and Stravinsky. Geniuses from maybe another planet themselves!

[rjr1967]

@hantpak absolutely! It really is a great piece and so different from all the other violin concerti in the repertoire. Just as accessible as Vivaldi too.

[Djangoblackbird]

I like how she opened with that famous Asian folk song, "Tu-ning".

[SNAzzALi]

@DragunovPK

*violin

think about what you're saying please.

this isn't that great of a recording but it isn't bad.

Shin hyon-su is probably where she is because she dedicated the precious little hours one has out of school to studying the violin. It has nothing to do with her last name or nationality. I'm not trying to take the liberal high card or anything, i'm just telling it like it is.

[SNAzzALi]

@DragunovPK

didn't have an easy time learning? did YOU play mendelssohn at 8?

[jyrsjrdfngfs]

Fantastique

[Orchadorkcello]

If that were true, then what about Perlman's hands? They're fat and big, and he can play the most delicate of all violin pieces.

[joymicalgirl]

ella tiene mucho talento toca genialmente jojojo

[canuckslou0101]

omg this makes me feel bad, gotta get off youtube and go practise....

[calkingjames]

korean is not a tonal language. haha.

[SNAzzALi]

people, really. these comments about asian musicians somehow being genetically better at violin are so not cool.

ones ethnicity has nothing to do with playing ability. Being asian doesn't make you a good musician. Practice does.

[EvieHippie]

@SNAzzALi I think it helps!

[RkMaDdNesS]

@SNAzzALi I'm Asian I Totally Agree

[6minus3minus2]

@SNAzzALi Speaking a tonal language, like Chinese greatly increases one's odds of having perfect pitch, which rarely does a musicians wrong.

[frankcisyarmi]

impresionante !!!!!! Hyon Su me encanta esta version superdinamica !!!!!!

[musichkin]

The conductor is Fucking stupid!!!!!!

[Lindagata75]

George Balanchine, choreograph many ballets, as he listened to Stravinsky recording. What a beautiful piece, Stravinsky created.

[DeathMonkey99]

It is always an asian woman who plays the difficult violin concertos...

[fitzgerald1337x]

search anne akiko meyers... her rendition of barber's violin concerto is one of the best out there.

[bu1letpr00f]

ALWAYS, its always asian women who marry the white men.

[Bolender]

Well, I seem to recall a white teenage male playing Schoenberg's violin concerto at Juilliard in the 1990s. Sorry I can't remember his name.

[mrmolinodelahoz]

Today the Asians are the new geniuses of all musical instruments.

Gen Hirano pianist is so fantastic!

[kenrayboy]

Except for where she rushes a bit at 4:05, and at the very end, I thought they were pretty well together, nothing drastic. My only complaint is a subtle intonation issue throughout, but it's so slight as to make me wonder if it's really there.

[viola989]

i wonder how she practise and play this well with such unrelaxed shoulders.

very, very beautiful! nice sound

[Renacimiento1988]

Pretending to be cultured kenny?

[ellegin88]

她一下早？

[tyltyl123123]

她是谁。那位说

[ellegin88]

她是 hyun-su shin.

[MothmanCometh]

Bottom line is this, Игорь Фёдорович Стравинский лучший композитор на все время, Period.

[LackingLack0]

fucking awesome

this is a competition guys, the soloist hasnt ever reeally practiced with those dudes before, cut them some slack. they did great considering they barely knew each other at all

[violin233]

yes

hes right

[smudgepots]

Isn't amazing how when played by Russian musicians Stravinsky's music suddenly becomes moving? The soloist is phenomenal: abandoned, daring, caught up in the heat of the moment yet always accurate and sometimes inspired. Great - and thank you for posting.

[ThaSchwab]

She's Korean.

[smudgepots]

I was referring to the orchestra!

[sneakerfreak50]

Haha.

^^^This could be dialogue to a comic strip.

[Renacimiento1988]

Stravinsky! *screams* yes yes yes yes!!

[nviob]

I prefer Gil shaham's performance .

see it ...

[curlyman217]

i think she's brave for opting for this rather than all the over-played concertos, such as the mendelsohn and the sibelius and the beethoven and the brahms

[xXLeafXNinjaXx]

well this piece seems a lot more fun to play XD

[pviola314]

it's just that stravinsky is that much more of a different monster than tchaik... difficult in a much different way. I'd buy this

[MirthaLuzFacundo]

El Concierto para Violín constituye un buen ejemplo del estilo neoclásico de Stravinsky. Utiliza ciertas armonías, motivos, figuras de violín y formas clásicas, pero de manera absolutamente contemporánea: ubica los viejos sonidos en contextos nuevos. Por ejemplo, el principio del primer movimiento (después de la introducción de dos compases) emplea un motivo inocentemente diatónico. Pero escuchemos cuidadosamente el contexto rítmico y armónico.

[fraggleferret]

She really doesn't understand Stravinsky. It has a kind of pseudo-musicality to it, but it's very shallow. She plays it all the same. No humor, semi-aggressive, Little variation in tone or vibrato. No expression. BAD control of line. I also think she doesn't look very good up there. Blank face and something about posture. I would never go to see her perform. And I loved studying and performing this piece myself, so it's not the piece.

[tueslabelledujour]

I don´t feel it..

[Beeffyviolin]

She can play....but this is the final round of tchaik comp. I would assume that they would be better than this. Not to mention the fact that its a rarity when the orchestra plays in the same tempo.

[leroyosmon]

Wonderful performance!

[fiddlinmatt]

I loooove 4:19. yea for fourths and 5ths- vivid and energetic harmony

[Bennie347]

I would never choose this for Tchaikovsky Finals!

[jghamm]

sounds not very interesting. It's such a great piece, with alot of happiness. She plays it so boring!!!

[seebelious]

i had an orgasm.

[lorentho]

She's awesome, I wish she had a better violin to really show her talent off

[curlyman217]

what kind of violin does she have? it gets great sound

[fiddlinmatt]

yeah I agree

[curlyman217]

what kind of violin does she have? it gets great sound

[asanjurm]

Simply NICE! i have no words!

[Argeniano]

am i dreaming or what?

[agrandb]

someone know where i can find a free score/midi of this concerto

[happpiday]

you can probably get in for about ten dollars From the International Music Company).

[curlyman217]

will you marry me haha i would have picked the exact same music in every category

[lyradakota]

her bow arm is a typical asian stiff stiff tone.....her intonation is good. (apart from a few tenth) overall she's really good.

[claudiacloclo1]

i love it

[megan8290]

beautiful tone!

[kimjihun1208]

She said "This music was the first time to play for the orchestra, so, it was so hard to play w/ them. even I wanted to give up....... I couldn't do anything in rehearsal and on the stage. " She stewed about her rendering. Don't blame her. She couldn't anything as she wanted to do. I think she was the no.1 in the competition.

She is so great.....so...great..

[cdpiano27]

Yes, the orchestra is never together with her. I think she should have chosen another concerto. Unless you have a good orchestra, this is impossible to put together well. The piece relies so much on the ensemble and interaction with the orchestra, so if they are bad there is little you can do. A mistake to play this piece with an orchestra you have no idea about before. She should have programmed more standard concerto such as Paganini or Sibelius. She is a very good violinist though.

[Animalll2003lll]

true and it's quite annoying. I think the orchestra is clearly to blame here, it's sluggish I wonder how much they rehearsed the piece; but she could also have slowed down a little bit. that would have helped. But besides from that her performance is very very impressive!!

[ladyxviolinist]

robot robot robot robot

[Violinfanatic]

If you think she is a robot, then what does an actual robot look like to you....

She is amazing and bursting with emotion.

[happpiday]

how can you say it sounds like a robot? Are you LISTENING to it??

[waxenwings89]

This is good. I like it.

[carl0s123]

A little bit t0o sl0w... Hilary Hahn plays it flawless!!

[Violinfanatic]

Anne-Sophie Mutter and Kyung Wha Chung also take it at this same tempo. In my opinion, if you play this too fast, it does not show the relationships between orchestra and soloist.

[sauret20]

La calidad de su interpretación es magnífica, es una violinista consumada y maravillosa, su técnica es impecable. Gracias por ofrecernos este video.

[tabbacco2040]

Excelente performance, la brillantes de su sonido es impresionante, así como su fraseo.

[Jafuet]

too slow
