Mikyung Sung | Double Bassist Profile 

her notes are so warm and resonant her technique is so fluid just perfect

She makes it look easy. Incredible player.

it’s been hard to find solo bass player performances let alone ones performing alongside an orchestra ... feeling super inspired by this ✨

I can feel every note she's playing... great music and musicianship.

Makes me proud she's part of the bass family!! Passion is the best secret weapon in performance

She is the best bassist Ive ever seen and heard in classical double bass. It looks and sounds smooth and effortless. Bravo. Im a fan. from Chris.

I'm amazed... this is really REALLY difficult to play, but she makes it look so easy and elegant and expressive.

Wow. Just - wow! This is by far the best version I have ever heard of this composition, and I have really heard a lot. I am a professional double bass player myself, for more than 30 years. I'm not bad at all, but I am far from being as talented as Mikyung Seong obviously is. However, this made me keep a close eye on great talents for many years and what we see here is outstanding on so many levels. Her intonation is indescribably good! Outstanding finger and bow technique, which seems so playful, as if she had never done anything else in her life but play the double bass - I am speechless. But as if that weren't already enough, this - in my eyes - incomparable bass player is able to play this technically and conditionally very demanding composition not only with astonishing ease, but also with incredibly soulful feeling and unbelievably rich sound. Never before have I been allowed to listen to this concert with so much emotional depth - never before. Thank you for this outstanding experience. I'm very looking forward what we will hear from this great bassist in the future. Simply great! Mikyung Seong, please consider me your biggest fan from today on. :)

Tremendous talent. She did a triple flip and stuck the landing! I understand she will be performing this in the next Olympics on ice skates. Beautiful playing, with a lot of soul. Good luck to her.

Wow....my eyes are filled with water from the great joy of music she expresses on this amazing instrument. I play the electric bass guitar, but not even one millionth of the talent she possesses! Incredible!

My favorite player. Her bow arm is amazing and her interpretation is inspiring

How are her hands not falling off now? She maintains so much endurance and strength throughout her solo pieces.

One of my favorite recordings of this piece!

Her hands just glide across the fingerboard beautifully

Astoundingly beautiful. I could listen to this a thousand times.

This sounds so beautiful. Strings that reach the soul. Very well done!

Wow, overall a really touching performance, and her cadenza is sooo colorful.

05:29 = mama mia !!!!!!!!!

Wonderful performance! Great phrasing, shifting, and mastery of intonation.

Outstanding on every level!

Her instrument sounds so strong, sweet and supple.

*Very well! Fantastic! This is just great!*

she makes it look effortless. I can’t even play a d on g string without squeaking ;-;

Mikyung Soung or Sung -- There doesn't seem to be agreement on the spelling of her name when transliterated from the Korean alphabet to the English -- is, I believe, to be the best double bassist I've heard, and I heard a good number of superb double bassists. She's the only one who moves me emotionally. It's not just her perfect intonation, fingering and bowing. She's so expressive! Ka' am sa ham nyi da, Mikyung!

Technique and intonation out of this world, I love her playing. She is a big inspiration for every Bass player and other musicians also

Beautiful sound and phrasing.

I'm playing for 44 years But I am not able to play like you Love you ❤️

I dont have words, this is simple amazing!!!!!

Wonderful playing!

Che meraviglioso stile! What a wonderful way of playing! Una grande artista. A great artist.

Have been playing contrabass for more than a decade, and this performance was amazing! I'm still trying to get better and I'm now practicing 6/7 days a week, atleast 3 hours a day, doing the best I can to get to the point where my life is just doublebass.

I have always had special admiration for delicate looking female bass players who played SO MUCH BETTER than I have ever played. They seem to have super powers in their hands.

Grazie! Forse il miglior concerto di Bottesini che abbia mai ascoltato...

Love her. I feel so embarrassed that I play the same concerto or better to say that I am trying to play it. I want to play it same as she.

Wonderful virtuosity. Beautiful deep, rich sound.

My congratulations !! i graduate in double bass in 1982 to matera (Italy) Bottesini is my favourite. My whies fot the future Francesco

Absolutely. Amazing.

Absolutely Brilliant!!!!

¡¡¡¡Que belleza!!!! Felicidades hermosa interpretación.

Double bass players look like they’re fairies dancing with tiny small miniature violins.. tho the music touches very deeply inside me

Wow!!! Wow!!!!! So wowwwwwwww! Bravissimo

미소를 머금으면서 눈물을 흘리게 하는 연주입니다. 한국인이기에 고맙습니다.

This tiny woman is amazeballs.

Wooow, what a nice articulations!

Amazing!

Un son remarquable à l'archet , une très grande musicienne !

Очень музыкально, прекрасный звук, интонация.Bravo, Mikyung Soung!

Thank you for inspiring me

Her playing tone projected from her bass reminds me to an old red double bass (probably the heaviest double bass in our orchestra at that particular time) that once ago I like very much to play on during our high school Chinese orchestral works. Warm, slight harmonic-like transparent like tone texture yet feel half-feathery soft and not streaky at all and a little bit more than moderate deep tone. I wonder type of wood do make differences in creating the tone of the double bass?

Wonderful !

It's a very nice piece! I've never heard it or the composer before. Gorgeous! I really appreciate this! Thanks for posting it. What a beautiful performance!

great job!!!

Perfect intonation and plenty of soul.

P E R F E C T

First German bow user I've ever seen stand. I didn't think it was possible. Strange technique but she pulls it off flawlessly.

Genius !

She was always amazing. Here she is at age 13 (with her brother, then 16, and mom on piano): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i-qXMBuXcKw.html&ab_channel=MinjeSung Edit: she was 13 not 14.

The best bassist of the 21st century? The control... the musicality... ((sigh)). You are amazing Mikyung Soung.

She should play koussevitzky prayer and baroque music so she can reveal her true talent I wanna see if her vibrato and bowing technique is good for koussevitzky can’t wait till she plays it

Good heavens

Spectacular artistry. What is the bass she plays on? I’d like one with narrow shoulders like it. Is it a Grunert?

fantastik

❤

Очень хорошо играет , а главное легко)
