the best bruch ive ever heard in my life! even in this video of her later years, her style has also matured. she's got such a rythmic style to her playing, and i love the fact that even though she is so petite and has a light quality to her playing, she's got such powerful attacks at the same time.
막스 부르흐는 정경화를 위해 이 곡을 작곡한 듯 열정적이고 파워플하며, 예리한 지성이 연주자의 음악적 감성을 자극하여 웅장함과 거대함으로 이곡을 해석하고 연출하여 지휘자와 심포니단원들을 리더해 가는군요. 언제들어도 가슴이 터질듯이 뭉클한 감동이있어 좋고요, 달리는 차안에서 시디로만 감상하다 직접 연주하는 모습을 보니 감동이 헤아릴 수 없이 더 밀려 오네요. 동영상 올려 주신분에게도 감사....그리고 몇년전 필라델피아 오케스트라와 협연하던 정경화님의 모습도 보기 좋았지만 젊은 연주자의 모습은 더 더욱 아름답습니다. 브라보!
Such emotion! The first time I watched this version last year I really didn't like it...I thought it was a little overdone. But today I watched it again it is so wonderful and brilliant. She definitely put her heart into it!!
@FeliciaMirage Do you have a video of yourself playing through this movement? I played through it all myself and recorded myself...the video is at mystudio.net. But I made several mistakes, maybe you can play it better than I can. I'm confused on some parts of it...:-/
@zucchini2007 Hey zucchini2007, I do not have a recording yet, but if you're taking lessons, be sure to tell your teacher that you have need help, and your teacher will always help you (that's what they're there for, right?). I'll try and find your video on mystudio.net.
@tlcooper93 agreed. Chung has a lot to say in her interpretation of this piece, and I enjoyed listening. and @SuperZingala, in the video of Perlman I watched on YouTube, he was actually a little sharp. Perfection is a tall order. Why not just enjoy the music? After all, this iS music, not purely an intonation contest. Music goes far beyond the technicalities.
I apologise if I have made people a little feisty. I just am merely stating the fact she is out of tune. For example, 1:30 - 1:32 and even more so 1:47- 1:50. The runs are so as to speak, run over, brushed over like it just don' matter - or like a steam train (which i have noted squeals at an A). If you listen to Perlman do it, he nails EVERY single note. She is just simply not the best. And the best should be reserved for this kind of calibre of music
@SuperZingala Ok I can see where you are coming from but if you listen close she has a rather wide vibrato which in my opinion fits it well. I imagine Pablo de sarasate (for who it was written for) playing this. I don't think you can sit there and try to judge her when you probably are not at her level.

Just saying and I am not saying you are not a great musician perhaps she does alot of these things on purpose I hear alot of things I have heard her do in her other recordings of this piece.
@violinmusicfan I agree. However, intonation is merely the first step, and I think out of tune notes can easily ruin a performance. If I was listening to a performance with BAD intonation, I wouldn't bother listening any more.
That said, this is performance was certainly not ruined by a few out of tune notes. On the contrary, it has a fire that is unmatched.
You can hear all her arpeggio's are out of tune *cringe*. Tuning is fundemantal to all music, she obviously shouldn't be playing this music!!! Although i do admit her interpretaion is quite good. (by the way i think this would be better as a bagpipe solo without the drone)
@SuperZingala Her arpeggios are not out of tune. She performed this piece accurately and authentically. And bagpipes? Really? You're talking about butchering one of the greatest violin concertos ever written... Leave violin concertos to violinists please.
This is the BEST rendition of this Bruch concerto I've ever heard! Other violinists rush through it, but she respects the time signature and plays it at the exact tempo in which it was written. And unlike Hahn, she puts so much FEELING into every single note she plays! Bruch wrote this piece for her, she OWNS this concerto!
One of my favorite violinists!! I played this couple of months ago and I failed but this video inspired me to try again. I decided to pay close attention and copy her phrasing. Helped me out so much!!! Thank you for posting this!!
Her right hand is interesting to watch especially with her 4th finger remaining off the frog much of the time. I think it is a good idea to watch her elbow because there is an economy of movement which moves allows for a lot of precision in her bowng and then her right hand grip balances it out to allow for total freedom of movement.
@gutlover33uk Stfu, racist asshole! If she is so mechanical, then why is she considered an aritistic genius by those who know about vilolin hellavu lot more than you, idiot!
Kyung is the only virtuoso that I have heard, that aims to capture what she thinks is the true meaning of any given piece, and changes her sounds accordingly. If you listen to her recording of the Mendelssohn concerto, you hear the deep emotion that she is communicating. But if listen to this concerto, you hear her intense virtuosity. To completely different sounds
@CalebsFans ..."well, okay,...not amazing...". She is one of the world's premier players. And who are you? And it's not her music. It's her rendition.
Such conviction and passion!!!! Such a wonderful tone and such a touching, sensitive musicality to go along with all that emotion....... this performance by a truly great violinist is completely thrilling and VERY satisfying. Thanks for posting it: you've made my day :-+).
I'm playing this for a high school orchestra audition. Thank god you can choose a part you want to play. The last solo part is the only part that's been killing me... and Thank you for the video! It helped me a lot with intonation!
My dear friend, Margot Davis, introduced me to Bruch's wonderful music many years ago. She was tragically lost to us, with many others, aboard an Air Rhodesia airliner in 1979. But whenever I hear this glorious concerto she's as alive and sparkling in my mind as she was the very last time I saw her. Margot would have loved Miss Chung's superb rendition. May I thank you, seungtaik, for taking the time to bring us such an inspiring version of Bruch's masterpiece? I'll come back to it often.
Lezare I would just go for it, paganini is great used as an etude, I guess you could use that to help you with the tchaik, and if it's to tough youll know cuz you will probably just give up on it..lol but if you really like what your playing then it should not be a problem just know it wont happen over night, with enough time anythings possible.
If I have just performed lalo symphonie espagnole, how long to play this? Just to scale, I ve beenplaying 4 4 years. That's my progress. How long till bazzini elf dance and Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Paganini concertos?please answer
for 1st movement, it is not hard in technical means. If you can play the whole Lalo, bruch 1st mvt is a piece of cake for you. Yet the 3rd movement will be a bit challenging.
People! Let's appreciate bruchs music! No matter what you think, this is still my favorite concerto and favorite representation of it! I think she did great.
@violin12395 : It must be recorded in 70's. She was the 2nd place at Tchaikovsky Competition without 1st place then. The thing was, back then, USSR had not given 1st, 2nd or 3rd place to any Asian or American due to political reason. It was a cold war time. I remember that's why her news was such a big thing to Koreans then. Her bother and sister are all well-known musicians as well. Personally, my favorite piece of hers is this one.
@7410n0 Thank you for that. The person above you is not likely a cultured person or open-minded. (I like how you did not smack him in the face for it though, so to speak.)
amazing. how young is she here? ms chung has remained one of the all time soloists displaying great consistency and incr matuirity in her playing over the decades
she is vibrating on the D string to make it sound like she is vibrating the open G. Since its such a long note you don't want it to be just a plain G.
Obviously it's not possible to use vibrato on an open string. However, it's quite normal to produce a similar effect applying the vibrato to a note that is an octave higher than the open string, in this case the higher G on the D string.
she is using synthetic vibrato. by placing her third finger on the d string (making that note a g one octave higher than the g string), playing an open g will then vibrate the d string for the note g. vibrating that third finger on the d will generate a similar effect to vibrato.
as i understand it is that ... if you do a wide vibrato on the g note on the d string ,first position while bowing on the open g it will catch the undertone and make a vibrato effect
It's called ghost vibrato. You put your finger on the d-string where the 3rd finger g and vibrato while playing the open g. it actually gives it a more resonant tone!
well, she isn't vibrating on the g string because its an open string.
However, she vibrates on the D string to still make the open G string vibrate with it. Try it :)
I vibrate the G string to, and it sounds much better than just a plain old G string. If you add vibration to the D string (don't play it though!), the G string will vibrate with it :)
It allows for some vibration on the open string. That way that open G is not so static. I know, it seems weird. She is essentially playing the open G string while vibrating the G on the D string.....I've been told to do it in the past too...I hope this helps. :)
well, she does that to make the g string vibrate. It actually works! because the g string is an open string, it does not vibrate itself. but if you vibrate silently on the d string without playing it, then the g string will vibrate too, which makes it sound better :)
p.s. i already wrote a reply, but i dont think it got posted... since i don't see it xD
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pleasepleasepleasepleasePLEEAASSE post the second movement!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this concerto is the best concerto of all time!! especially when Kyung Wha Chung plays it!!!!!!
¡Qué pasada! Quizá sea más perfecta o más clásica la interpretación de Itzhak Perlman, pero me gusta mucho más la pasión que le pone la coreana. Una interpretación más nerviosa, más caliente. La locura.
Undoubtedly some lack of synchronism between video and audio, which is so common in tv, dvd, video etc. The performance is pretty fine, and such a thing (the orchestra "filling" or "hiding" lacks or mistakes of a virtuoso) is almost impossible to happen. At least "live" they wouldn´t do this!!! Cool. She´s pretty good.
So this is a different style of violin concerto. Some call this style more appropriately a violin sonatina which is indeed a recitative recital of the violin and therefore to those who expect a more coherent movement this would sound very "dull".
Does "dull" for you mean "melancholic" or "monotonous"? The whole concert has much of melancholy and Bruch had himself perhaps a bit, just a little of silly or joking. Just this. He maybe "played the fool", but was great, in my opinion.
Did I send my answer to you? Sometimes I lose writings here, due to problems in sites or in the pc. I couldn´t really listen to this performance above, for example, due to many stops, certainly a trouble in the video or in the pc.
Anyway your question doesn´t have connection with these troubles. I can see NOTHING of dull in Bruch´s concert. BTW, what does "dull" really mean to you? Bruch was just different, made it different, played it different. So his concert is a must, but different. OK?
I grew up listening to her 30+ years ago. What a legend she is! I've listened to tons of Bruch violin concerto #1 recordings by different violinists, to me, this concerto is kind of like it was written for her. It doesn't matter at all to me, if there is any flaws when she plays Bruch, because she is the only person I felt "just right" for Bruch and have the most desire to listen and watch how she interprets it. i.e. the same situation to me for Elgar's cello concerto interpreted by Du Pre.
there are some moments kyung wha chung's violin and the orchestra don't match. Kyung wha's violin is awesome, but I think the orchestra lack conpetence to follow her in harmony.
To me there are moments when she makes the violin sing, and it sings with such clarity, and intense emotion that I feel as though I want to cry, then there are the passages where she makes the violin scream and shout, with such frustration and angst...all of which she expresses on her face....This is (in my own opinion) my absolute favourite recording of this piece...
Yes thanks for posting, this is my 2nd favourite violin concerto after the 2nd Violin Concerto of Bruch, which in my opinion is a sadly neglected work.
This certainly is a fabulous version, I seem to remember that Andre Previn helped Kyung Wha Chung become well known. He is a very talented guy who is equally at home playing jazz or Gershwin on the piano.
Can someone please download the Bruch 2nd Violin Concerto onto You Tube?
i love her passion! this is one of my my three faverite violin concertos.thanks for sharing!

Jasiek55555 2 years ago
That's how you actually vibrate the open G; through resonance.

I think that's because she wants to make it vibrate... o.o

Obviously it's not possible to use vibrato on an open string. However, it's quite normal to produce a similar effect applying the vibrato to a note that is an octave higher than the open string, in this case the higher G on the D string.

you can vibrato on an open string by using your 3rd finger and doing the vibrato on the string next to it (D string)

by fingering a G on the D- string and vibrating, you produce a vibrato on the G- string
violinmusicfan 2 years ago
Sympathetic vibrato on the G on the D string allows the open G string to play with a vibrato tone as well.

she is using synthetic vibrato. by placing her third finger on the d string (making that note a g one octave higher than the g string), playing an open g will then vibrate the d string for the note g. vibrating that third finger on the d will generate a similar effect to vibrato.

as i understand it is that ... if you do a wide vibrato on the g note on the d string ,first position while bowing on the open g it will catch the undertone and make a vibrato effect

It's called ghost vibrato. You put your finger on the d-string where the 3rd finger g and vibrato while playing the open g. it actually gives it a more resonant tone!

no surprise. harmonics resonate.
chopin7tristesse 2 years ago
If you have your finger on the d string where the octave of g is, it creates a more resonant sound and has some vibrato as well.
kylehamman 2 years ago
well, she isn't vibrating on the g string because its an open string.
However, she vibrates on the D string to still make the open G string vibrate with it. Try it :)
I vibrate the G string to, and it sounds much better than just a plain old G string. If you add vibration to the D string (don't play it though!), the G string will vibrate with it :)
musicdevotee4life 2 years ago
It allows for some vibration on the open string. That way that open G is not so static. I know, it seems weird. She is essentially playing the open G string while vibrating the G on the D string.....I've been told to do it in the past too...I hope this helps. :)

because it gets the instrument to vibrate, which makes the illusion that she is able to vibrate on an open g
fgdfusion 2 years ago
well, she does that to make the g string vibrate. It actually works! because the g string is an open string, it does not vibrate itself. but if you vibrate silently on the d string without playing it, then the g string will vibrate too, which makes it sound better :)
p.s. i already wrote a reply, but i dont think it got posted... since i don't see it xD

Her interpretations are always perfect within her limitation given that she never could complete her record on Bach's Unaccompanied Violin Suites.
Could be described as 'torrid passion' in comparison with Jascha Heifetz's 'frosty passion'.

joosangbai 2 years ago
Undoubtedly some lack of synchronism between video and audio, which is so common in tv, dvd, video etc. The performance is pretty fine, and such a thing (the orchestra "filling" or "hiding" lacks or mistakes of a virtuoso) is almost impossible to happen. At least "live" they wouldn´t do this!!! Cool. She´s pretty good.

McSplat 2 years ago
So this is a different style of violin concerto. Some call this style more appropriately a violin sonatina which is indeed a recitative recital of the violin and therefore to those who expect a more coherent movement this would sound very "dull".

xilibai 2 years ago
Does "dull" for you mean "melancholic" or "monotonous"? The whole concert has much of melancholy and Bruch had himself perhaps a bit, just a little of silly or joking. Just this. He maybe "played the fool", but was great, in my opinion.
bramarant 2 years ago
Did I send my answer to you? Sometimes I lose writings here, due to problems in sites or in the pc. I couldn´t really listen to this performance above, for example, due to many stops, certainly a trouble in the video or in the pc.
Anyway your question doesn´t have connection with these troubles. I can see NOTHING of dull in Bruch´s concert. BTW, what does "dull" really mean to you? Bruch was just different, made it different, played it different. So his concert is a must, but different. OK?

I grew up listening to her 30+ years ago. What a legend she is! I've listened to tons of Bruch violin concerto #1 recordings by different violinists, to me, this concerto is kind of like it was written for her. It doesn't matter at all to me, if there is any flaws when she plays Bruch, because she is the only person I felt "just right" for Bruch and have the most desire to listen and watch how she interprets it. i.e. the same situation to me for Elgar's cello concerto interpreted by Du Pre.

To me there are moments when she makes the violin sing, and it sings with such clarity, and intense emotion that I feel as though I want to cry, then there are the passages where she makes the violin scream and shout, with such frustration and angst...all of which she expresses on her face....This is (in my own opinion) my absolute favourite recording of this piece...
Thank you for posting it...

musicdevotee4life 2 years ago
Yes thanks for posting, this is my 2nd favourite violin concerto after the 2nd Violin Concerto of Bruch, which in my opinion is a sadly neglected work.
This certainly is a fabulous version, I seem to remember that Andre Previn helped Kyung Wha Chung become well known. He is a very talented guy who is equally at home playing jazz or Gershwin on the piano.
