Anna Lee - Bach | Ysaÿe - Joseph Joachim Violin Competition 2021 

There was until some time only one single Video of Anna Lee on RU-vid. Anna as a child, playing the Paganini concerto and looking very unhappy and with a too big Instrument. Is it the same Anna who plays the Bach sonata now? I hope so. Perhaps, her teacher said once to her: " Anna, you have to practize something different! There is so much wonderful music at the world! Be Not so depressive about Paganini! The music consists not only in his music. " Then, I am glad that she had not given up the violin and makes music furtherly.

This Bach is spellbinding. Wish his monumental Goldberg Variations had that flavor.

I am very glad to find some more Videos by Anna Lee. I read that Anna Lee had to play the Paganini D Major concerto too much that she could not like any more this Composer and this concerto. I was afraid that A. L. had possibly gave up her playing, but she is so musical. But I found a Video of her with the Bach g minor sonata now. I like Bach also much more than Paganini, and she plays so well!
