I remember seeing this when it aired on TV, and going back to it now it's still my favourite thing that she's ever done. Its kindof a shame that she never really transcended this... her sound was much nicer and had less of that awful scratchiness and over-aggressiveness that it has now.
i'm more amazed by the conductor who was able to lead the orchestra to follow chang's tension n speed. feels like she's running to the end not breathing. but her technique and audacity at the age of thirteen is definitely, definitely amazing. i know i didn't have balls to lead my piano accompanist in front of professors when i was thirteen
one of the rare few that can truly express the true power of Haydn's 3rd movement in C Major. her proformance was vertually flawless and completely remarkable. my hat goes off to her.
LOL, I'm 13 and I play the cello too, but nowhere near this good
my friend is playing the first movement of this, and it is freaking hard, she makes it look so easy and she enjoys playing it so much, it's amazing to just watch her play, let alone listen to this wonderful music... XD <3
shes also amazing in this clip but in nowadays... she plays this like.... like something that is SO flawless it sounds almost like she composed a new music
ach gotti, die sieht ja fast süß aus neben dem riesen cello!! unglaublich, wie viel sie dann beim Spiel rüberbringt! Aber auch das orchester ist klasse!
Holy crap that was 13 years ago. I was in that orchestra. Man this brings back memories. whoever posted this thank you. I never got to see it after we played it. She was more amazing in person, believe me!
...easily..her articulation surpasses Rostropovich, Webber, Casals..by a long shot......Piatigorsky.....all of them....and she easily equals, no surpasses Feuermann...she is ahead of Maisky, too....she is 'it"
I don't think she tries to show off. Talented kids usually have obsessed features like closing eyes, moving with the song, or even making facial movements, that they cannot help when playing. I remember my friends used to make fun of me when I played piano, because my body would move and move my head with the songs.
I heard all others playing this piece and i think she plays it the best, not only that, she is only 13 at that age. Its truly amazing, you don't just see that kind of talent anywhere. She is more punctual and i'd like to say she puts emotions into the songs instead of just playing them on the book like Rostropovach or Yo-Yo ma.
its really unfortunate - i saw a video of her playing this now, 15 years later, and i think she though she should improve it but instead i think she ruined it. she has the same, amazing sounding cello but she overdid it, thought she was playing dvorak or elgar or sumthing - this is incredible - it really is a shame
you guys should go easy on the comments. She may be 1st class cellist now, but in this video is only THIRTEEN. Chill, im sure you guys weren't this good nor made a debute this early at age.
She gets a brilliant sound out of her cello. If she is to become a world class cellist, she needs to work on her posture especially her head position. *turtle neck*
I have that same problem. If she becomes world class with a 'turtle neck' she will be pounded by the critics
i love this sond...did this song for solo and small ensemble...got a 1...so excited....i emagined something happened...dnt kno what but it has alot more underneth the skin..if u digg...this song has so much emotion
I don't play the cello but I do play the violin. When your bow is so tight like that it makes it easier to bounce off the strings("Spiccato"). I think that's why she had her bow so tightened up like that, because she had to do several spiccatos. And I think it also helps with playing staccatos(short, separate notes).
she is a prodigy theres no doubt about that. Great work Han-na Chang. Your playing is absolutely amazingly fantastic you make me want to practice more.
Pourquoi les gens sont obligés de parler d'une donnée géographique qui est la nationalité de la personne? Même si elle aurait été chinoise quel rapport il y a entre elle et les JO? Ce sont des racourcis qui n'ont aucun autre sens que le début du racisme, qu'est ce que ça change qu'elle soit coréenne ou chinoise? Ca change quoi à la musique de Haydn? La musique réunit les gens quelque soit ses origines, alors ne nous divisons pas avec des données géographiques artificiels!
ur awfully rude. i can play this concerto quite well. but i no longer hav the sheet music for it. i was wondering if i could get it again for free. but clearly not
she has such an innocence to her playing.. its absolutely beautiful. It may not be 100%perfect however it is remarkable the maturity she has at such a young age
annaBananaTheSchrull creo que Jacqueline du pré jamás tendrá una rencarnación. fue demasiado maravillosa. Ni Yo-Yo Ma ha conseguido igualar su concierto de Elgar. un saludo!
She really is exceptionally talented. (inevitable but...) But, her play isn't very soulful. With a little more maturity, she will be one of the greatest.
I've listened to a lot of her romantic albums and she is very sensitive. If you think her playing as a 13 year old is better, there is something wrong there. I can think of reasons why but take my word for it.
She's a reincarnation of Jacqueline du Pré? No...I wouldn't say that, too. She plays different from her. JDP plays as amazing but in a very different way...dunno how to say that...I like both very much...:)
It was very good, but I think she could chosse a little bit slower tempo in order to feel more confortable y maybe avoid some little mistakes. It was cool anyway
well, when she was on the stage in the Rostropovich competition, she was so little and her cello was so big for her, Rostropovich couldn't see the player and thought himself that, "oh my...the cello walks!"
I haven't heard anybody else show such a dazzling cello performance!! It's not just amazing to the ears of Rostropovich, but to my untrained ears also!! On top of that her facial expression is also very entertaining -cute :-)
