My daughter and I were at the flute fare on West 83rd street yesterday and we saw you perform with the others downstairs. You moved both my daughter and I to tears with the beauty of your playing. She says you inspire her to practice harder on her flute.
She is going to be Melody Shen. Yes, you are right. She'll be as great as Jasmine Choi, but she has already her own personality. A superb musician, and an equally great human being.
Congratulations to Melody!! This is very addicting to listen to on repeat😆. The playing is beautiful: great tone and, especially, the phrasing and expression of music make it so alluring! 💕💕 Congratulations again!
Goodness, you are a fabulous player! You played a demanding piece with poise, elegance, and made it sound easy. And to think you are only 16. Congratulations on this brilliant performance!
So proud of you dear Melody! Such a joy to work with you all these many weeks in preparation of your stunning performance with CAI here! 💥🌹💥Also I had the bonus of hearing at the performance another one of my stellar studio grads, Principal Flute, Dr. Ashley Cho❤️👏🏼You both nailed it! Congratulations!
Me too!!! Looks like there is a loving and caring family behind her, supporting and providing a beautiful dress for her to take the stage, the world...
She is a superb human being. I watched a video of hers about an NYO2 tour in the Dominican Republic, and her comments and remarks about her experiences really impressed me immensely. She is so sagacious and generous.
This girl is incredibly good she should audition for a professional orchestra when she gets older. I’m a bass trombonist and I never really hear flutes that much. But this was beautiful Ive been playing trombone for 11 years (bass trombone for 8 years) currently finishing up high school
For comparison the same movement with David Oistrakh. Frankly, I like now better the flute transcription thanks to Melody Shen. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KGtrkHG5ZN8.html
Love the flute version but the main problem with it is in the breathing. Specially in the first movement the pace is so fast that the flute player unavoidably most of the times "enter" a bit late leaving a slight "unsavory" taste to the listeners ears. Violin players don't have that problem.
Ah yes! Most violinists have impeccable breath control, but all too few have the intonation and bowing skills to tackle a piece like this without making us wince.
Aram Khachaturian's VIOLIN Concerto in D minor is a VIOLIN concerto in three movements composed in 1940. It was composed for David Oistrakh. Why did you call it Flute Concerto?!
Playing Like a Asiatic robot, everything learned perfectly but no soul 😢. Music have to have some "dirt" , even if she follows all signs it s even not close. The composition is great but she is far from a good performance
