Sarah Chang - Dvorak Violin Concerto (part 2)

[davider18]

I love Sarah Chang :)

[alixvhessen]

Those Asians and European music... what a horrid try to play Dvorak!

[whzpdlsWkd]

Look at those bow hair fly...they just whip my emotions around like lashing a horse, man.....

[TheAznPwns]

GOO SAXOPHONE TROLOLOLOL

[mynameissssjane]

this whole concerto makes me want to throw my cello against a wall, sit in a corner, and pout about how much i wished that i played violin again. ):

[searay32]

@mynameissssjane I think that this violin concerto is missing something in the writing. I think the cello concerto is much more expressive and a greater piece. I am playing this violin concerto now and I wish I could play the cello one :P

[mynameissssjane]

@searay32 wow, you must be awesome ((:

[YNGVIRTUOSOVIOLIST]

Damn I wish I was a violinist!

[1023george]

@avilajonathan I very rarlely make comments on petty blogs like this, as I just enjoy the music, but I couldn't resist breaking it to you that you have a lot to learn about life, I mean, I would explain it to you, but I dont have any crayons with me, and thats coming from a 15 year old.

[violaBob90]

Played like the Shradick exercise)

[xXJohnnymac16Xx]

Dam, this is officially my favorite part of the piece. Probably cuz this is the only part where Sarah Chang's agression fits and makes the song sound better.

[lflarry1]

Wonderful!...........Brava:)

A Technical nightmare...but sarah shines thru.

[17ladybug]

she prolly has like 80 extra nice expensive bows...lol thats right sarah!play with passion! rip those bows and strings with love

[kuvhlubkojibleegxwbo]

she have four strong bows. she talked about that in one of her interviews.

[pianolitguy]

she has a very unique style of playing - i enjoy the way she plays the dvorak very much!

[kuvhlubkojibleegxwbo]

i'm trying to say this in the nicest way, but i think that when sarah play violin it makes her face look chuppy and when u see her in interviews she's really skinny

[jmuzic77]

stop posting. get a life

[kuvhlubkojibleegxwbo]

love the way how she moves and plays. just in love with it.

[grgryl]

Although she plays this wonderfully, I much prefer the cello concerto.

[ManpwerTheTemp]

I hardly see how thats relevant...

[SkyXCloud23]

Dvorak dedicated this concerto to Joachim, but Joachim didn't like the concerto, so he didn't play this. Well, I also think the Cello Concerto is more preferable... don't thumbs down... this is a fact. But in all romantic violin concertos.. I still prefer Bruch's.

[kykla01]

It isn´t true. Joachim didn´t play this concerto, because he was too old. And learning new hard work, was for him too exacting... sorry my english :)

[LaTaula]

Bravo Sarah! Saludos desde Barcelona!

[cozymimi]

I don't like to critisize pl, esp. artist like Sara Chang. She is among the best violinists in the world.

I don't know those who critize her technique & sound quality. All I know u are not artist b/c the way u express. I haven't heard or see Itzark Perlman comments here. I think he & other great artists can judge her.

This is not American Idol, even Abdul & Simon many time selected wrong candidates.

Violin is the most difficult instrument to learn. To play this good u must be child prodigy.

[conroiNongDucManh]

u think i fall into ur stupid comment. since u mention ur a violinist which make me wonder what kind of violinist u r, "tinkle, tinkle, little star?"

[conroiNongDucManh]

Indeed,I played"twinkle..." 30+ yrs ago when I was a little child. About me, I don't have the talent like Sarah so I play music for fun, & I do play 3 instruments, & violin is one of them. I also have a higher degree in education. Enough said.

I never comment to any great artists esp. in music b/c I know I am not qualified. It is not my intention to challege or debate w/ u. I replied to u b/c u made a bad statement about me.

btw, I did try for UofW orchestra, but failed b/c no talent & desire.

[conroiNongDucManh]

sharing ur opinion is nothing wrong, but making a wrong opinion on a high profile person in the pulic u have to think again. unless, u r just another jojo youtuber. we all know Michael Jordan is the greatest basket ball player of alltime. Sport comentators & ppl criticized him when he had a bad day. I don't see anything wrong w/ her performance on that piece on that night. u mentioned about her sound quality & style. Pls, every musician interpretes music differently.

[pelahustan31416]

jaja

[ker331]

she doesnt have a great sound concept. it's too pressed and forced..

[countchocu1a]

oh yeah you could do so much better. shut the fuck up

[viola989]

i like it a lot!! great technique, musicality. but her sound is sometimes a bit... pressed... but i have a great respect for her! this concerto is so extremely difficult!!

[coolcolossus]

she actually explains why the sound was a "pressed" in her interview. search for dvorak violin concerto interview

[viola989]

tnx for the tip! ;-)

[mufasamusic]

...perhaps James Ehnes...

[redviolinparis]

¿Does she have a sound error in 1:54?

[mibrunildita]

I think she move her body too much ,

i´ts like a show, violinist are violinist

not a show....maybe more calm in her body,

not so histeric...

but she is fantastic...nice sound

[MomSaysImCool]

Moving the body when playing helps playing a lot, and it shows energy. An other thing; why complain about it? She sounds good right? Give her a break...

[batuocanhsang]

However, she moves when it is right to do it... Not like other violinists who just try to show their expressions by moving horribly every second of the song...

I <3 how Sarah Chang expresses her love for the music

[caocao8u]

well there's a reason sarah chang is much more reknowned than midori. even if she did break two e strings in one performance.

[tcornellvln]

i dont really want to get myself into anything but . . . you cant say that sarah chang is weak. she's not my favorite violinist, and sometimes i very much dislike her style/musicality, but i still appreciate her as an artist, you should learn to do that too

[mufasamusic]

This is true. I suppose we all have been spoiled by youtube showing us the best of the best all the time. I will try and appreciate what talent she does have rather than finding flaws. She is talented, just not as talented as her peers, so I will listen to Midori.

[tcornellvln]

yeah i do think it's a shame that midori isn't more mainstream. she really is quite amazing

[easylienka]

she is amazing...God help me, I have to play this concert in competition, last year...:(

[101greenroses]

lol shes pressing so hard on the strings i keep expecting her to break one...she does break a bow hair tho :D

[DeeFL08]

I love it. Her arm sometimes looks like rubber when she just moves it and not her body.

AMAZING.

[TKBAND999]

she is coming to singapore next year!!

[hdunik]

take your stereotype out of the music stage please

[VanessaMaeFan18]

i know right? how in the world was that determined? sheesh.... why can that person just enjoy her music... i do not have any of her abulms sadly, but i wanna go to her concert to see her live :-) shes coming to atlanta next year i think.

[YNGVIRTUOSOVIOLIST]

@hdunik amen who is the idiot I have to bomb out?

[lastromantic08]

She was born in Philadelphia, accepted and educated in Juliard at age of 6. Not your everyday typical Asian violinist now is she?

[junevi2000]

Akiko Suwanai won the prestigious Tschaikovsky violin Competition. She is Japanese and Asian.

[psychoof2009]

um, japanese is a type of asian...

[tcornellvln]

I think that junevi2000 meant that there are other great asian violinists out there, lol sarah isn't the only one

[hyourai]

@psychoof2009 except shes korean >.>



[pppsssssssss]

I love you...this is wonderful!  thank you so much!
