This is one of the most inspirational recordings I have ever heard (along with Milstein's Devil's Trill) and is one of my most favorite peices to play. It's a shame it's not played more often :(

  • @musiclover0187 I agree that Chang cannot be considered one of the greats as of now. However, realize that she is still incredibly young! She has MANY more years to mature her playing and prove herself. And not only that, do you not see how disrespectful you are being towards Chang? If you are truly a violinist of 15 years, then I can't see how you can mock a fellow violinist and musician; a person who has dedicated herself to music and violin as much as you have, if not more!

  • Guys, can all of you just shut up and enjoy this piece? Seriously, it's starting to bug me to see people go on and on in arguments. If anything, I think the uploader should disable the comments so we can enjoy this amazing piece in silence and without the comments being thrown around. Jeez..

  • That was a really long long comment dude, props to you!

  • NATHAN MIRONOVICH MILSTEIN (January 13, 1904 [O.S. December 31, 1903] – December 21, 1992) was a Russian-born American virtuoso violinist.

    Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

  • Widely considered one of the finest violinists of the 20th century, Milstein was known for his interpretations of Bach's solo violin works and for works from the Romantic period. He was also known for his long career: he performed at a high level into his mid 80s, retiring only after suffering a broken hand.

    Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.

  • He was born in Odessa, then part of the Russian Empire (now in Ukraine), the fourth child of seven, to a middle-class Jewish family with virtually no musical background.

    Molto Bello!!! Thank you for sharing this video.
