Sarah Chang - Dvorak Violin Concerto (interview)

[hodgrix]

i like how she like actually has a personality, unlike most classical musicians...

[PsanterShelZahav]

2:30 :D

[violintwilightsaga28]

Why is other famous violinists on television, and she is not??

[robertex37]

i love you sarah!!!

[Violanerd6]

1:56 Not quite a spring chicken. lol I <3 u sarah!

[Oathkeeper1992]

I hope I can be like Sarah Chang when I'm older. Hopefully I can get a solo career, just on cello, not violin. :p

[makuletboy]

YEEEEAHHHHH.....She made a reference to the Cello Concerto. Its just that awesome!!!!!!!!

[Welther47]

Its true whats she says at 3:45

The bow loses a lot of hairs :)

[tonywsmith2]

@Welther47

Who cares about the bow hairs? As long as Sarah was willing to share a few of her own hairs with me,

she could leave the violin at home.

[Welther47]

@tonywsmith2 I don't care about your pervert fantasies!

[tonywsmith2]

@Welther47

I know, but at least you're worldly enough to get the point.

[stradivarius001]

Dvorak Concerto at 8years old??? wow...

[abcdnike]

i love her, but from 3:49-3:50 shes talking 2 fast for me xD can somebody tell me what she said there?

shes a great violinist, georgeous

[liziegrrl04]

She was saying how her bow held up wonderfully until about 30 minutes before the concert and then it started shedding like crazy. Hope that helps :)

[Livisfunatic]

She is enchanting! A talented violinist and a talkative and nice beautiful girl! She is amazing!!!

[amargeaux]

I just love her personality!!! she's so peppy! Not to mention she absolutely gorgeous!! she must make a really good friend!!

[ihurahikan]

omg! she is so... talkative and wildly funny when she speaks.... I love her... I heart her! she's great! VIOLINIST OF THE CENTURY!!!

[alkaster]

She totally talks like a sorority girl! (a smart sorority girl!) She's so awesome!

[zucchini2007]

Her voice sounds like that of a sorority girl. But she's got musical intelligence, I think she's certainly much smarter than the average sorority girl, LOL.

[jsw663]

And if she wants to try everything once in her life.... lol

[jsw663]

Tactful in speech, amicable in front of the camera as well as hugely talented at music. She really deserves her success for sure!

[Cleamena]

I just saw her tonight! she was playing the Four Seasons

and of course..amazing. =D

[Sviolinist]

Oistrakh > .... she's been playing this piece since she was little? When did she learn to hack through it like she's chopping down a tree? =P =P Me still love Sarah.

[MyMemories19]

HAHA, funny. I thought she was aggressive, too. But, hey, if people enjoyed it, they enjoyed it.

[dr3Am3r73]

One of the best recent perfomances of this concerto. For all those who love Dvorak, watch a recording of his cello concerto with Rostropovich and Giulini conducting also posted here on YouTube, it's absolutely amazing!

[gojunhogo5]

jesus.. her bow and violin are godly o.O

[TaytayDOS]

The very first time I watched her last year at Youtube playing Zigeunerweisen by Sarasate, I fell in love with her.

[jsw663]

But judging from her comments in her interview, if you were her boyfriend you'd probably spend most of the time watching her sleep, lol.

[NiceCar2008]

why?

[stradivarius001]

bow sheading just happens suddenly. I was playing the violin the other day and the bow hair just kept sheading every 1 minute.

[hannaremnant]

I'm amazed at her talkativeness and her humbleness as well. But though she's a great role model, I'd rather hear her playing.

[yenloo1209]

thx 4 the video

[elleee111]

She's a great person! Exquisite violinist!

[lyradakota]

a del jesu and a pecatte bow? wow

[Hiyellowhornet]

And you're an amazing ass. Can't you be large enough to acknowledge her work? What a fuck.

[dr3Am3r73]

haven't laughed more for a while, thanks! :-)

[hannaremnant]

totally ungentleman-like.

[thatchedroof]

not only an amazing performer but also an amazing person with great personality -- she's "out of this world" herself

[TKBAND999]

i hope to be like her one day

[helouz]

génialississimo

[hdunik]

learning the dvorak at 7 or 8? that's beyond imagination!

[brian777999]

I love this lady, I think she is gorgeous.and that is even before I start talking about her violin playing !

[ziriyab]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[flyme2moon]

Thanks for the video. Good quality...

[InChristAlone17]

This performance must have been in 2005 or early 2006 because I own Sarah Chang's recording of the Shostakovitch concerto with Sir Simon Rattel. I bought it when I went to watch her perform the Four Seasons last fall. (she autographed the cd!) It's a fabulous cd; she really shines on the Shostakovitch and Prokofiev. Chang is so humble and down to earth! Thanks for sharing the interview!

[pppsssssssss]

I think that this performance was more early 2002 when the album Fire and Ice was released. In the interview she states that she just recorded her Carmen album

[battycys]

Hi, pppsssssssss, I was there so I missed this interview with Charles Hazlewood, a young conductor. Definitely, at the Royal Albert Hall, 8th September 2004. Miss Chang often come to the Proms in the first week of September. She has played Dvorak before, on 1st Sept. 2001, the night England beat Germany 5-1 in football. She was wearing green that year.

[battycys]

This performance was at Royal Albert Hall, London, on 8th September 2004. 8th September was Dvorak's birthday. This concert (Prom 70) was one of the BBC Proms. Miss Chang is a Prom regular. We love her.

[pppsssssssss]

she's so fun and charismatic! anyway, she's coming to my hometown in August and I'm buying her dinner! yay!

[abb4182]

Thanks so much for uploading this. I love Sarah :D

[PieCrust05]

She seems so human. I love that!
