Kyung Wha Chung - Bruch Violin Concerto Mov.2

[Blake788]

I was twenty-one years young and in my first summer in love when I heard this first. Though love was lost this piece still stirs as if the first.

Surely, this MUST be the way the angels sing...

Wow, those who voted thumbs down must be ignorant of classical music, true violin virtuosity, or simply bigots!

[SophiaStarlight]

This is the only version that brings me to tears. I'm working on this piece currently and would be ecstatic if I could play it only half as well.

[caterthun]

Impossible to know what Max Bruch heard in his head while writing this beautiful piece, but surely even he would be astounded if he heard this perfect interpretation by both Kyung and the orchestra. Makes me cry.

[curtisharrell]

@caterthun Me, too.

[violench]

beautiful,

[OriginalMoonbeam]

Expressive--dead on intonation, her bowing is always so percise. Even though she isn't seen it can be heard that she never breaks those long,slurred bowing passages. Her trills start out just a little slow and then spring to life as they speed up and then slow back down delicately...very close attention to dynamics. I note all these things because I just worked on this piece. This movement is the "easier" of the three movements yet the most difficult to get correct..at least in my estimation

[HBOfosho]

"... it can be heard that she never breaks those long,slurred bowing passages."

She separates the slurs starting in the third bar and keeps on! Haha

[Glenmed]

Rather slower than I've heard before - but beautifully peaceful. I think it's a masterpiece by a group of masterly musicians.

Who rates this 2 stars?!
