Sarah Chang - Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 26 

just saw her preform this in concert, it was so awesome to see her in person. she has so much charisma and character. you could easily tell she loves what she does

I think this perfomance is the legend in bruch violin concerto~!!

Wow..her violin is just incredible...and of course she is fabulous as always. But this particular video lets us really experience the qualities of her instrument close up.

First time I ever heard this piece was when a student played it on his violin, accompanying a tape, in Culver Square Colchester just before Christmas 1984. I'd started going out with my wife of 30 years at the office Christmas party the day before. I stood transported by the music and the sunshine of my new girlfriend's love. Sarah Chang's performance brings back the memory of that very special day like no other.

SUCH MASTERY OF FINGERING BOWING. AMAZING I JUST LOVE THIS ONE I DON`T KNOW WHY.

I just love this young lady's rendition of this great piece.... a fine orchestra too!! Most enjoyable. She's just got to be one of the very best; great touch and sensitivity.....good sound engineering too! Great! NoAxe

I have just discovered this concerto today. It is *so* beautiful and overflowing with emotion. 14:08 Goosebumps all over!

24 minutes of perfection.

Very special performance-both soloist and orquesta superb!

She is a goddess in violin. Her version for Sibelius at the Concertgebow and this one of Bruch are absolutely stunning. Not to mention Beethoven's Brahms's and Chaikovsky's. I love her performances, come from deep soul of Sarah.

이 곡을 사라장 연주로 듣고 난 다음부터 다른 연주자꺼로는 듣지 못하게 되어버림

Insane how this piece can make you feel.

I like this masterpiece of Bruch.

사라장의 전성기는 아무도 말릴 수 없는 야생마 같은 느낌이다... 너무나 정교하고 군더더기 없는 연주 그기에 자신감... 이게 천재란것인가....

Ms. Chang uses a very wide bow grip!! Her first finger is quite high up the bow stick (a la Shlomo Mintz's technique).

I'd follow her to the ends of the earth. She's brilliant

BRAVO!😭🤗

sublime interpretacion

Genia total!!!

מדהים איך שהיא מנגנת

Im gonnaa play this for a competition :)

the timpani aka kettledrums considered them

Who conducts the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra? Whats his name?

오랜 경험으로 우아하고 파워와 자신감, 여유가 넘치며 뭐든 자신만의 스타일로 만들어버린다. 우아함과 여유가 압도적. 이것이 다른 연주자랑 다른 그녀만의 두드러진 특징이다.

금세기 아니 다음세기에서도 나올까말까 한 천재 바이얼리니스트..사라장. 이런 명연주를 동시대에 감상할 수 있다는 것에 행복을 느낍니다.

싸라장. 장영주님. 곡따라 여기까지 왔소. 브르흐. 까지 접수..ㅋㅋ 역시 바이올린의 여신. 보고싶소. 건강하시요.👍^^

이 날 이 초록색 드레스 입고 연주한 지고이네르바이젠 영상 진짜 내 최애인데 이 영상 대체 어디 갔죠ㅠㅠ

축복받은 삶을 살고 있는것 같다.그리고 묻고 싶다.다음 생애에 태어나도 바이올린을 켜고 싶냐고?...3악장 하이라이트 부분 너무나 좋았다...항상 훌륭하고 완벽한 연주같다.

What a great performance this is! The Bruch violin concerto has been often played but rarely is enjoyable until Sarah plays it.

So if you are SICK and COUGHING, DO NOT Fucking attend a Fucking LIVE classical concert!!!

The smile on her face at the end tells me she knows she has hit it out of the ballpark. I think what makes this performance so exceptional is that she is playing with a chamber orchestra and commands the tempo. I have never heard that rest held so long, but it was exquisite in its effect

진짜 미친사람처럼 에너지를 내뿜내요.... 최고의 연주

I didn't even notice they were playing without a conductor because I was so focused on how her playing was so pretty lol

But her interpretation is excellent. She and Ms. Hahn are my role models! Wish me luck on my competition for 5000$ on this piece! (This piece is in the 2nd round)

들으면 들을수록 사라장의 천재성을 확연히 느낄수 있는 명연주입니다!

떄론 강렬하게 때론 너무나 감미롭게,,,,눈감고 2악장에 빠져있으니 모든것이 다 숨어버리는듯하네.....

For me this is the best version of this fantastic concerto. Well done Sarah!

개인적으로 가장 좋아하는 사라 장의 퍼포먼스.

5분부터 6분 30초까지는 무슨 장군같음; 사라장군♡

I accidentally run into Sarah Cheng's music on the plane flying back to Chicago. I have listened to all the other recordings on this music and this is the best of all Bruch violin concerto No. 1 performance. it is now my all time favorite!

My absolute favorite violinist Sarah Chang is amazing:-) Adagio part she play it so beautiful:-) The whole concert is amazing:-) Love you Sarah

Nobody has such a romantic vibrato! I love Sarah and the work that she does on the second movement...

She is not only a great violinist, also an accomplished artist.

I am speechless. Now, if I can get my heart rate down I may be able to speak. This performance is beyond words, but beautiful. Bravo 👏 Ms. Chang. You made my 2018.

NOBODY PLAYS BRUCH LIKE SARAH CHANG, AN INSPIRED PERFORMANCE OF ALL MOVEMENTS. BAND GREAT ALSO.

I just saw and heard her in Bucharest, she's like a real fairy of violin, sounds amazing, so clear and so hypnotic, she really puts her soul in it. Loved that part when she plays together with the orchestra...but loved, in all , the feelings she transmits to the public...

She smiled at the end because she knows she nailed. Shiii, I'd be happy too. 😏

My favourite video on RU-vid. Watched it hundreds of times. Can’t get enough. Just gets better every time. I will never tire of this piece and no one plays it better. So much passion, emotion and skill. Truly divine.

sarah chang is such a great violinist, she plays with immense intensity and her performances are always of the highest calibre

I was in the audience when this charming and lovely lady violinist made her Malaysian debut at the Dewan Fil years ago (three performances in all) with this same glorious piece of music. At the end of her Sunday matinee performance - and one that was as scintillating as ever, as if this concerto is etched in her precious heart & soul -- I somewhat felt, or at least my nunchi told me, that she was less than satisfied with the earlier proceedings despite the tremendous response of the audience who took her to their hearts in that short time she was in Kuala Lumpur, like they do elsewhere each time they smelt a durian: standing ovation, post-concert autograph signing and such. I came to the conclusion that all this could be traceable to the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra which accompanied her throughout those three concerts. At that time the MPO was a fledgling orchestra cobbled together with players from all over the world and was in an earlier stage of evolution as far was sound was concerned, so Ms Chang must have thought that if only she had had a more polished ensemble to have accompanied her on this trip....(She of course did put things right when she came back later to perform this concerto again, this time, needless to say, with her own orchestra, or one of her choice, at the Dewan Fil.). Evidence in view here on You Tube has shown her to have matured both in person and playing, and regarding the latter words cannot do justice. My first exposure to the Bruch was the recording of Kyung Wha Chung (these Koreans, don't they take to the violin like ducks to water?) but I now believe that the honor has now passed to Sarah, especially with this scaled-down affair that does nothing to detract one bit from the overall performance but on the contrary, adds to the intensity, with members of this great chamber ensemble playing as if their lives depended on it. Wonderful and thank you, danke, grazie, terima kasih, xie xie, kamsa hamnida.

Stunning, heartfelt, she transports her talent as the international language of the world

She is from The Hand of God & his Vibrato throughout The Universe...that Universal Light of that Cosmic Sound Wave of Love & Harmony throughout All & Everything & espescially Sarah's Violin as Its Medium....

Maestro Max Bruch thank you! Sarah Chang and Orchestra are excellent. It is a devastating rendition, Bravo!

Sarah Chang is the best

She's THE QUEEN! Nobody plays like her in this concerto.

It’s now 2024.. and now seeing this made me so warmed up❤😢

Totally addictive, I cant stop listening to it.

I love it how she plays the tutti with the orchestra... not at al common with soloists!!

She play concerto better than anyone else

How do they pull this off without a conductor? The timing between soloist and orchestra is super perfect.

She does this so powerfully! All hail Ms. Chang!

Fabulous ensemble. The orchestra follows her bowing and listens with deep understanding of their role. It helps that her instrument is a 1717 Del Gesu. What beauty!

Fabulous violin. del Gesu is too good to be real! Heifetz will always own this piece just like he owns the Bruch Scottish Fantasy. But her performance was good, nonetheless. I wouldn't say "very good," just good! Excellent choice of outfit. But wow ... what a set of hips on this young lady!

I was watching another video of the same piece & read comments that Sarah Chang's rendition is much better, so searched & found this. My goodness, her playing is incredible!

Her fingers dance on the strings. Quite different with Kyungwhua Jung, but also love Sarah.

Sarah Chang, best violinist in the world, be it male or female.

Love her performance because it always cleanses my soul.

She, the soloist, and they, the strings, conduct, play and reveal this work of exquisite feeling and beauty, as a commune, with all the fire, skill and reverence which it merits, and this is exactly how it should - and would- be done if Bruch could have his way. Fifty years or more of addiction to this marvel, a musical miracle, have at last found their home in this devastating performance- not that others are not superb, yet none so divine

사랑. !!! 하지 않을수. 없는 세계 Top 의. 이. 연주! 하나!!! 감돔 그리고 또 감동 입니댜. 감사합니다

Good Lord man why does the video end three seconds after the concerto ends??? Can't we take in the moment to enjoy the applause and recognize her great talent? HORRIBLE EDITING.

Gorgeous !!! 곡 해석을 이렇게 Technically 완벽하게 표현하다니......... 공산 이데올로기에 얼빠져서 병정놀이에 미쳐버린 철부지들이여 이 소리를lol 들어보시게나........어떤 소리를 자연은 사랑할지 생각들좀 해 보시게......... 오직 딱 한번방문하는 지구촌애서 우리가 해야 할 일이 무엇이라고 생각 하시는지...창조주의 길 dao 道가 아닐런지요 ?

My favorite concerto, brilliantly played, thank you

This is a performence that is underated.. the whole world deserves to hear this… the best bruch by so far😮❤

브루흐협주곡은 장영주를 따라올자가 없음

helps us get through this covid 19 listening to this amazing talent and great concerto stay safe

Best interpretation on you tube. Guess I'll get to know changs raw style. Can't think of another way to explain it

Como en la audición de toda obra trascendental de la Música, nos induce a pensar en la imposibilidad de la inexistencia de Dios.

If she perform Scottish Fantasy it'll be monumental ........

Sarrah 常 🏮🏮🏮👍👍👍👍👍👍🙆‍♂️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♂️🎻🎻🌶🍎

I have an old tape cassette featuring this concerto and the Mendelsohn. Over the years the Bruch has edged out the Mendelsohn because of Its' cascading sonics and especially tight structure. Not to mention the brooding opening that is the perfect springboard for a theme which draws copiously on an unflagging well of novel inspiration. Though the form is such that it is immediately accessible to all to understand and appreciate its' glorious unfolding! How must the composer have felt when the public took his first endeavor in the genre to heart to love and admire. The sweeping motif on the strings at the close of the first movement always brings to mind the string theme from the old Perry Mason series that terrified me when I was a young boy of about five or six years old. The show aired at about eight O' clock on Saturday night in the late fifties and I would pull the covers over my head in a desperate attempt to shut it out. Now I understand it was an early indication of my acute musical sensibility but then I just hated it. I love how Ms' Chang gracefully dances as she plays so that her entire body seems to amplify the intense joy of launching this piece from her instrument. For me it is an enhancement and punctuates her distinctive poise perfectly. I have yet to hear this concerto live and when I do Ms' Chang certainly will come to mind for a fitting prelude to brighten my smile outward and inwardly. Sincerely, Paul W. Green

사라장!!! 대한민국에 딸입니다 사랑 하고 존겅 합니다,, 세계 최고의 연주 !!! 퍼팩트 !!! 전율이 오르다!!!!!

19:00 이부분 정말 최고임....

Absolutely beautiful.

I just niticed there is no conductor. So something different from other performances. GREAT!

아 너무 좋아요 어쩜 소름 막 돋아요.

부르흐바이올린협주곡 연주중 최고ㆍ 그녀가 쓰는 구아르네리의음색이 너무좋아 부라보!

WOW. She is a Queen. One of the best performance of this piece that I have heard in years. The slow part of the first movement was played with the most passion I have ever heard starting @ min: 3:25 - 4:30. That was incredible!

She is rushing crazy....

Sarah Chang is amazing. I love her performance.

오호~~ 사라 장.... 그대의 연주에 감탄을 금치 못합니다... Bravo~~

A story of a hope, a dream, followed by a never ending struggle in the twilight until reaching the ultimate triumph!!!

I wish I can give 1 million thumbs ups.

She can be a great conductor, too!!

Have I heard 6:13 anywhere before? I don't know why it sounds so familiar. I mean, it did when I heard the Vorspiel for the first time too.

This concerto is just so amazing. My favorite!

Did you know that she played this when she was FIVE YEARS OLD as her audition for JUILLIARD and got in? according to her Wiki page

Wow. I sit in awe and give you praise.

What mastery. Warmth, fire and passion. Sublime.

UTTERLY AMAZING. I FEEL HER PASSION!

Love the music. But some insensitive jerk put ads in the middle of it. Jarring. Ads should only be at the beginning or end of a musical piece regardless of genre.
