Chung is a legend. A true artist with so much passion and such emotional depth.Her recordings of the concertos, such as Saint-Saens, Elgar, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky are definitive and cannot be surpassed.
@violon78 She has so much feeling. That I don't understand what you don't hear. I am not affected by most violinists because I don't feel what they are trying to express. Instead of forcing out notes I enjoy it when it flows but it doesn't have to be smooth. For example Jacqueline du pre who I adore so, very much.
@StradAmatiViolin Hi there, nice to have a comment back for a discussion, with respect, thanks. If you here the begining and a lot of other parts, don't you admit that it's not in tune at all ? All the part at 6:30 is just tac tac tac tac tac tac tac tac... without feeling in my opinion, and so on... I try to put a link of one of my fav interpretation by Mari Samuelsen.
Please, let me know what you think... no comparison is possible for me ;)
Done ! But sorry I persist, it's really not in tune and too mechanic, it's just my feeling ;-) Please just search Mari Samuelsen on YT : here's is a real powerfull and insane interpretation ! wooow !
I came across her music video for Summer one day and found myself drawn to violin playing. Thanks to twofinedays, with his large collection of performances on YT , I was sucked into the foreign world of violin music. Inspired to take it up, I learnt simply producing a decent tone can be difficult. I can now better appreciate her skills. All that drama and dynamicism comes from her, the artist, and the instrument cannot take all the credit.
@violinlover262 Well, I don't think I could do better. Many people here can't do what she has accomplished. I myself love many of her performances and have been in the front rows to witness her talent. Your ears don't lie and I am sure you know what I mean if you love classical music. Many people who love to listen to classical music don't even know how to play one classical instrument but they can easily tell which performance is a good one. I am also sure that you are with me as well on that.
At 0:49 until 0:52, are we supposed to hear the line picking sound? I have never heard of it....... Any experts here ? I personally think she plays too fast and the sound of her violin does not come out as clear and clean. I can also hear some kind of line crossing type of sound which is really easy to detect. I love her so much when she was doing the duet with a guy who plays and oboe in Bach violin and oboe concerto a long while ago.
listen to perlman playing winter, or gil shaham. Those are very good. This is just a rushed "OH LOOK HOW FAST I CAN PLAY" thingy. (I don't call it "shit" because it's obviously not, but I really dislike this video)
@iMarklar Another stupid comment from the lay man. Who are you to criticize Kyung's playing as a" OH LOOK HOW FASY I CAN PLAY thingy." Give me a break. If she wants to prove her speed she will rather be playing Tchaikovsky's violin concerto or Paganini's Caprice and trust me, she will still break a leg. With her skills and her status today, she doesn't need to prove anything to you. SHE"S PLAYING WINTER FAST SIMPLY BECAUSE THAT"S HOW SHE FEELS THE MUSIC. I LOVE HER INTERPRETATION.
hey.... to all you criticizers... -.- Kyung Wha used to be in the top ten in the world before she retired... more fanous than Sarah Chang... with all her brothers and sisters. go up to any middle aged person (like my mom)... she is REALLY famous because of her title as top 10 in the world and number 1 in korea.
She's really good... I didn't know her before this vid... impressive... what an interpretation...very personal... she likes to play fast and Vivaldi concerto supports such speed.... nice...
I can't dispute your opinion because it's yours, but I can at least say you're certainly one of the minority if you should say Ms Chung plays not from her heart. Now with 40 years career behind, which can be matched by only few, she's been taken as one of most passionate, romantic, exciting and heart-felt soul on violin strings by many critics and other fellow musicians as well as public. Naturally there has been criticism on her style, but believe me. 'not heartfelt' is very rare comment on her
@twofinedays: humm right, actually u are right, i am only commenting based on one performance from her, maybe i should see others of her...maybe this one came up to the public eye as lost of passion or heart felt.
Hmm, she started off her career already with a starad (Harrison), then she aquired Guarneri ex-Kublik in 1974, and yet another Guarneri (ex-Rode) in 1984. She's still know to have two Guarneris, but mostly used ex-Rode in recent years. I believe that's what she's playing in the video.
@MrAnimeFreak777: Actually that's a matter of the musician. Just because a musician has a Strad does not ensure that the music will come out better. And one last thing, Soil Strads aren't the greatest instruments in the world in comparison to del Gesus. But again it's more of the musician over the instrument.
there is no more proving at this modern age to do....no matter what race or color you have.... if you are an idot you will be one.....human limititions go beyond race.Just enjoy life....and great music such as this...although there are lot of very musical Asians around...it cant be denied.
i couldn't care less if the musicians are balck white asian mongolian or whatever race you want to call them. Why even watch a clip like this, it's the music that should make you see wonderful things!
not meaning to be racist or anything, but you see all these asians in a circle playing the instruments all emotionally, then you see a random american sitting there plaing the violin and looking around lol
you don't have to be asian to downthumb a bad comment...
not only do you misuse the term "irony", but you also make yet ANOTHER narrowminded, thumbdown-able, comment. Fail.
First of all, there are NUMEROUS examples in which one race established a practice but another race eventually dominated. For example, Americans originally invented basketball but now, the majority of star players are black.
Ha ha... you're free to have an oppinion of course... But can you give me an example of a violinist playing with no mistakes at all at a live performance - a scratch, wrong harmonics, etc.? What's the idea of music and art - is it a mechanical perfection? The proportion of Michaelangelo's David does not perfectly fit to that of actual human body - does that make it any less great?
You're right, I think she just rushed through some of the beginning measures of this piece. But sometimes the sheet music itself tells you to play slightly faster than usual, with cue words such as Presto, Allegro energico, Allegro ma non tanto, or other technical elements. I've seen some of these words in my own sheet music.
Think of the winter gust and severe cold weather... and compare the contrast with the 2nd mov how she warms it up. I think Ms Chung is being true to the idea of Winter.
@twofinedays I'd have to agree. She really speaks with her violin. It's hard (even with an instrument as wonderful as a violin) to convey true passion and emotion. In that first movement I really felt the strength and power of the season she's trying to convey.
@twofinedays I'd have to agree. She really speaks with her violin. It's hard (even with an instrument as wonderful as a violin) to convey true passion and emotion. In that first movement I really felt the bitterness and power of the season she's trying to convey.
even if i don't like her playing at all, she is soooo sympathatic with those young musicians and the beautiful smiling faces in the end...really great to see!
And the audience is completely right with it's enthusiasm!
Oh, it's such a relief to hear someone get the tempo right on the Largo! Yes, it should still be slow, but at some point the whole pizzicato sags and becomes a depressing muddle. This is just right!
Well, already in BBC documentary produced in 1977 titled 'East plays West', Ms Chung herself talks about her then new instrument guarneri 'Kubelik' -once was owned by Jan Kubelik-, that she got to like deeper sound of guarnery in time. Then in mid 80's, she aquired yet another guarneri.
Throughout the song, whatever it is, something seems out of tune. Gets really apparent at 1:12ish~ I have no clue how the song should sound like, but it seems like some D-ish note is out of tune there. Was bothering me so I stopped listening.
I just hope some people be more consciouse about something called 'manner'... Can't they know there is a politer way to express even for the same content? sigh...
look those are great pieces by vivaldi but you souldn't mind idiots because there's lots of them in the world today and if they are there then there must be some kind of need inoreder fo them to be there.like it is said in the matrix ''if a program is not needed anymoreit is deleated'' it is a bit like that in our world if you think about it, it has its ways to dispose of the uneaded people.
oh really? because im 14. I am not a prodigy or anything. If what you say is true then that will be great! Cuz I want to play this for my sister's wedding; she likes the Allegro non Molto.^_^

Throughout the song, whatever it is, something seems out of tune. Gets really apparent at 1:12ish~ I have no clue how the song should sound like, but it seems like some D-ish note is out of tune there. Was bothering me so I stopped listening.

they probably haven't tuned properly beforehand or some are playing slightly out of tune..

I just hope some people be more consciouse about something called 'manner'... Can't they know there is a politer way to express even for the same content? sigh...

look those are great pieces by vivaldi but you souldn't mind idiots because there's lots of them in the world today and if they are there then there must be some kind of need inoreder fo them to be there.like it is said in the matrix ''if a program is not needed anymoreit is deleated'' it is a bit like that in our world if you think about it, it has its ways to dispose of the uneaded people.

Nice, except for the trills/turns in the beginning. Those were really strange sounding...

Search for "barocchisti" if you want to hear a good version...

You guys think I can learn the whole Winter concerto in 3 years? Excluding the largo movement I got that down.
How much time? Practice? Tips?
mr00aznkid 3 years ago
well you see quality is more important than quantity....and 3 years is wayyy to much to learn only the winter concerto....1-2 months is fine...

nice correct interpretation. Would make 5/5 if she slurred the note to enhance this piece. Also missing some critical trills.

Although this doesn't matter, I think the sound does not match up with the video 100 percent.
