Now I don't even care about her technic or dancing things :p She has enormouse sex appeal. She has reached her fertile stage. GOD DAMN IT, I never thought I could say things like that to Classical artists. She is no more genious or prodigy but woman, who is dominant.
Im sure that everybody here who has something negative to say about her style is a much better musician. (sarcasm) If you are better than sara, then by all means, post your youtube video proving it. Otherwise, shut your fat, pretentious, pseudo-intellectual mouth hole.
Faulty vibrato, bowing, horrible trills, intonation doubtful as always, rough bowing: the typical Delay recipy." Put more pressure on the bow" as she uses to say all the time. Lets kill the beauty of the sound, movig alot, shaking hair and body, the big show as usual... She is not at ease with her instrument and struggle with it... the end is catastrofic, but BRAVO!...that is now how the public is educated with Galamian et cie...
Sarah is playing this with the Czech national orchestra. They love her and her interpretation of Dvorak to bits - and they've played together a lot. Who are any of you to argue with them?
I really have to agree with you guys.Don't get me wrong,Sarah Chang is among my favorite violinists.Her renditions of the Bruch and Brahms concertos are superlative;her aggressive approach with her bowing adds a distinguishing touch appropriate for the style.
Applying it to the Dvorak concerto,it kind of ruins the supposedly pervasive ethereal,light feeling.I much prefer Josef Suk's and Kyung's renditions;far better in many aspects,cleaner too.
just saw her last night for my 1st time at the hollywood bowl. having enjoyed classical as a simple listener for many years, i'll seak her work out now. SO expressive in body and sound! what a delight!
I really didn't like this performance. Some of you call it passion but honestly her sound sounds a bit strained and you can HEAR her technique at work! Especially at 1:12 to about 1:35 . You can hear the crossing and in between things. You'd never hear that from Perlman or Heifetz. I like Sarah but I didn't appreciate this performance.
@tamsuiman I 100% agree. I feel as if everyone should check out Kyung Wha Chung's interpretation also on youtube. Sarah Chang is an amazing violinist and blows this concerto out of the park, but I just have to say when it comes to the Dvorak, Chung's interpretation is just explosive and out of this world. :)
mhh... i used to like this version, but a week ago i heard frank peter zimmermann live with this piece.
i dont like it with too much vibrato and... tendence to overdoing and such things. and her sound is not that good, i find. maybe its the mice technique, but it might also be because she's using too much force. could it be that she is tired after a half an hour of this extremely difficult piece?
of course, thats just my taste,but i loved zimmermann's version!! so cool and perfect!
@jghamm wtf. This is a passionate piece, and I think she presents a wonderful interpretation. Are you an tea drinking, cross-eyed European mongrel? Sorry, you sound like one.
@jghamm ummm dvorak ditched europe to come to america, and he seemed to take a liking to us, so this "vulgar" american interpretation pretty well trumps your bland, delicate tastes.
@huntkye he didnt ditch europe to go to the states. he moved to the states because they offered him a position with good money, he actually got depressed and homesick after a while , he moved back to europe with no intention of returning to america.... so i dont think he took liking to america.
los seres humanos todavia no tienen el mayor porcentaje los chakras controlados donde podemos encontrar armonias altamente armonicas, sublimes, donde radica las danzas de las galaxias en su conjunto fusionadas en los horizontes de los multiuniversos, Sarah CHANG es unas de las representantes que estimula a quienes perciben, captan, entienden el dialogo, el lexico de la musica en sì, su espiritu noble seguirà espaciendo armonia y dulzura a travez del tiempo y el espacio.
I heard another stunning Korean beauty and virtuoso play this piece six days ago - Chee-yun. They are both fine musicians. However, 'thought she looks 20 years old, Chee-yun Kim is ten years Sarah's senior. I feel you can hear that extra ten years of maturation in the rapid passages. Every note that Chee-yun plays is as gorgeous as she herself is. Sarah occasionally seems to rush from one note to the next missing the rich and nuanced tonality we hear in Chee-yun's playing. Greg G. of Portland
Her bow keeps shedding, I used to have that problem until my teacher got tired of it and said "every hair that comes out of the bow I'm taking off the top of your head" and surely enough I got better. Wonderful performance!
wonder if she have time to find a boyfriend of her own, cuz she seem to be so busy with her traveling and music career, do anybody know if she have a boyfriend.
I didnt used to like this piece before I heard her play it. And all of you who say she's dancing need to get a life, or stop watching orchestra videos. That is the way she shows her emotions, without words. If u dont like it, then dont freakin watch it!! God I love this woman
Yeah, well, I love her dancing; it's cute. And it makes it that much more fun to watch!!!! I just LOVE watching this woman Play!!!! She like a breath of fresh air from the other violinists!!
I'll be your perfect husband. We'll be perfoming together in concert. We both are amazing in playing the violin. I had played all most all of the peice you played.
I'm sitting here in my apartment all alone watching this and I was so completely absorbed by this performance I very nearly stood and applauded at the end before I remembered that it's just a computer screen.
Whew! Girl can scratch a few out on that fiddle of hers!
Sarah Chang is AMAZING!!!! I absolutely adore watching her play the violin, she is so passionate, and you can tell from the expression on her face that she loves doing it, she always has this look of rapture on her face as she performs. This is fantastic, how could anyone NOT LOVE classical music after listening to/watching this...?
im trembling coz she is soo amazing,cool!incredible!i wonder if i can face that many ppl n i can be that great 0.0 hope i get better in my violiin ohmigod!she is soo godd!
She always wears the RIGHT dress for the WRONG occasion! Beautiful dress, Mam, but you are in a Philarmonic, not a night party! Get something like white, black, elegant, and... I like your taste, but not the occasion
I won't mind the fact you just assume every Asian person is Chinese too while trying to defend them. Shame on you.
Then again she was born and brought up in America and as for dress sense, I really think it's the culture of the classical music, not the origin of her birthplace. Doesn't matter what ethnicity you are if you're playing classical music wear a nice suit or dress, it's common sense.
WHat all of you are forgetting is that as a musician interprets music and plays accordingly so can that musician express their interpretation through their outfit. It's an expression of interpretation.
I on the other hand don't this her interpretation is boring. I really like it, even though it seems rather harsh. She plays beautifully and she can interpret the song how ever she wants to. =) Dvorak rules!

Sarah Chang is very talented and a beautiful girl. Moreover, this is a great violin concerto. I didn't know it, this is the first time I hear this work, but it is quite good.
ohhh pthat poor 1717 guarneri del gesu violin....get totured with sarah chang's aggressive bowing...anyway very good performance though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............
Sarah Chang has a similar last name but she's not related to Kyung Wah Chung. Chang is pronounced more like Jang (a as in card) whereas Chung sounds more like Jeong in Korean.
Full of Musicianship... pretty rare today! She never stop getting better! I'm intrigued how good she will be when she will be 50! maybe she will reach oistrakh and heifetz... would not be surprised!
Sarah is one of my favorite violinists and I do love this awesome piece by Dvorak, but here her performance is disappointing compared with the outstanding interpretation by Kyung Wha Chung, full of beauty, charm and clarity. I think Sarah failed to go through the essence and hidden beauty of this awesome piece, though I like her performance of other pieces. If this concerto is your favorite, I'd like to recommend the stunning interpretation of Kyung Wha Chung (EMI).
I've always wondered why her live performances are so different from her recordings. She seems to always either take a faster tempo or cut small portions out of pieces in her live performances and she also plays with more aggressiveness. The first movement in this video is around 10 minutes, and her recording of it is at 12 minutes. Also, the live performance of her Vitali Chaconne is 8 minutes, and her recording is 10minutes. I've never really understood it. Still, Great playing in this video!
I melt every time I hear those octaves at 5:43-5:50 with the horns accompanying her. <3

I LOVE this song. She has a very good interpretation on this piece. (I think it would sound better a little faster though...)Very well done!!!

Is she related to Kyung Wah Chung (also a Korean violinist)?

Sarah Chang has a similar last name but she's not related to Kyung Wah Chung. Chang is pronounced more like Jang (a as in card) whereas Chung sounds more like Jeong in Korean.

I thought initially that Sarah Chang is the daughter of Kyung Wah Chung because they do look alike!

i love how she puts so much emotion into her performance, this piece sounds very challenging but she did a great job.

Sarah is one of my favorite violinists and I do love this awesome piece by Dvorak, but here her performance is disappointing compared with the outstanding interpretation by Kyung Wha Chung, full of beauty, charm and clarity. I think Sarah failed to go through the essence and hidden beauty of this awesome piece, though I like her performance of other pieces. If this concerto is your favorite, I'd like to recommend the stunning interpretation of Kyung Wha Chung (EMI).

I've always wondered why her live performances are so different from her recordings. She seems to always either take a faster tempo or cut small portions out of pieces in her live performances and she also plays with more aggressiveness. The first movement in this video is around 10 minutes, and her recording of it is at 12 minutes. Also, the live performance of her Vitali Chaconne is 8 minutes, and her recording is 10minutes. I've never really understood it. Still, Great playing in this video!

The melody in the beginning of this video reminds me of the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3's melody...
