This is the very best of'cello-playing, on an exceptionally fine instrument! This is a master class in performance. I will come back to this many times! Thank you, Jin-Kyung Kim! (from Canada)
Glory be to God Almighty only Living God Lord Jesus Christ and Holy Ghost for this talent. Such a great interpretation. Very personal. Great professional performance. All characters and changes so clearly expressed. So lovely.
I get so frustrated when playing this suite, I feel like no way that I do it feels like I'm doing it right and feels lifeless. When I listen to performances such as this I recognize that everyone will play it differently and in their own beautiful way. It comforts me that it's really up to me decide how to interpret the piece and give life to it, and this performance gives me so much inspiration to do so. It's beautiful, thank you for this wonderful performance! ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
Wow, that was brilliant! You are really good at cello playing. I don't know anything about music, but I notice when it says D minor, I usually like it. And this was no exception. Impressive.
What a wonderful interpretation of this masterpiece! I love how expressive you play the harmonies, while giving inflections to the phrases. I am a horn player and love playing this work in particular everyday to start music for the day. It grounds me in many ways. Your interpretation is one of my favorites I’ve heard. ❤
Music in complete perfection. This devotion and expression, simply wonderful. I have never heard or seen more beautiful cello playing! Now I am a fan of Jin-Kyung Kim 🥰
Debussy's sonata was played with sensitivity and finely judged changes of tone colours which was effective and exciting to hear. Ms Kim brought out the spirited lively character of the final movement particularly well. Pairing this with the Bach suite in the first half worked quite well, not only because they share the same key (d minor) but also as Debussy's lean, dynamic music complimented the lilting and lively dances of the 2nd Suite. 👍🥰
It's always great to relive the spine-tingling experience of a live performance through video recordings. This performance which I attended was both visually stunning as well as masterfully performed 👍🥰 Her instinctive understanding of Bach's music and idiomatic reading brings out the lilting rhythms and elegant phrasings so wonderfully making it such a stimulating, absorbing, dramatic and enlightening experience. 👏👏👏❤
This is one of my favorite pieces of music. I listened to countless renditions over the years. I like how made it your own. It’s so easy to copy someone else’s…for that alone you deserve a lot of credit. Wishing you all the best !
