  • is classic music about sex too? wth every female violinist, soloist piano, flute, etc. they usually bare skin or makeup heavy . Guys don't have to do that, its just all skill, and maybe eyeliner?

  • Interesting point. But I think it's only natural that we feel for more beautiful look. Only, nowadays, whole concept of marketing is making commercial use of it. And you're wrong that guys are free from this burden; there'a whole line of young stars whoes cute faces are part of the source of their popularity. Even decades ago, young Glen Gould won his publicity with his first record of Goldberg partially because of the jacket photo showing this young man's faces.

  • Why didnt she perform the full cadenza?

  • I do not know why, but she's been performing with this shortened cadenza up untill late 80's, including her first record of this concerto in 79. But in her later performance (with Tennstedt in other video, for example), she uses full cadenza, and does it superbly.

  • HA HA... Beethoven, Chung & Chung,and all you can say is just 'ugly'. I can't really think of what to say about your comment, but I just wanted to laugh. HA HA HA

  • One of the best!

  • I love the way her strong will is evidenced on her face as she plays, that "iron" that helped her to become the violinist that she is and to play with such fire.

  • great

  • great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • she skipped most of the cadenza.....

  • 2:05 to 2:09 is breathtaking

  • @twofinedays Painful, isn't it. Perhaps he should go back to Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey or someone sensational/untalented like them.

  • @shanny64 She is just dressed up for the occasion. In any formal occasion, the guys dress in suits and the ladies - well - like Ms. Chung is here. She is presented very nicely, is she not? As for her playing - wow! She and Ms. Mutter are both great artists. The ladies seem to be as good as the men these days.

  • this is great music!!!!

  • Beethoven's music is universal.

  • she's not using the guarneri style chin-rest...
