Sarah Chang's Four Seasons CD: US: amzn.to/2ii14xS Canada: amzn.to/2dONyQr Sarah Chang performs the vibrant "Winter" Violin Concerto in f minor with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra!
I keep coming back to Ms. Chang....an excursion around other players, including the old greats like Milstien and Heifetz fails to dissuade me from the opinion that in all around performance , she is the greatest player today. Expression and tone are peerless. Technically, nobody better. She has it all...brains, beauty, and talent. I hope she gives credit to God who blessed her with these gifts.
@ishhlaurence Very true...that's why I hate when people say that Baroque can't be played with expression or emotion, etc. It's some of the most expressive music! Especially Vivaldi! :)
Sarah Chang was my first choice violinist from when I started watching classical music on RU-vid. Many years on she is still my no1 and in the last ten years I have actually travelled to London to see her play live in Concerts, even better live, especially when I saw her play the Bruch violin Concerto. Lovely lady and met her in person many times after her performances when she signs autographs, photos etc. Lovely lady Violinist who is adored by her fans the world over.
After a concert, a member of the audience went up to Jascha Heifetz. He said, "Wow, your violin sounds really great." Heifetz then held the violin up close to his ear and replied, "Funny, I don't hear anything."
@@TheNthomas1999 Yes a wonderful violin with a distinct deep and dark sound coupled with Sarah's wonderful violin playing technique and ability. See the video link below. Sarah Chang On Her Extraordinary Violin ...A Legacy of I. Stern And A Bridge To Future Players. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DmUVzHXGePU.html Sarah is a virtuoso violinist who I have twice seen in concerts in London concerts. Also met her in person after those concerts when she met her fans for photos and her autograph, lovely lady.
@@TheNthomas1999 Sarah Chang owns several violins, and her main violin is the 1717 Guarneri del Gesu by the Cremonese luthier, Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù which she inherited from her mentor, Isaac Stern. In another interview in 2013, she told the reporter that she bought the violin from Stern, not received it. Chang uses a variety of bows: she has said that she prefers a Pajeot for Mozart and Bach; a Sartory for the Tchaikovsky and Sibelius concerti; and two Dominique Peccattes for other music. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Chang
@Sllvlloov Not afraid of anything...but if I want to share classical music, I want it to be in a environment that eliminates spam, swearing, and arguments (which often happens on RU-vid). I also like to respond to everyone's comments personally. Unfortunately, I often do not have the time to get to everyone's comments until days, weeks, or months later! Which is a good thing...it means my videos are popular and bringing new audiences to classical music. :)
@magdaszabo Well no...I get TONS of spam and racism, etc. on my videos - it's really irritating. But apparently people don't appreciate my work reviewing every comment, so I'm removing comment verification.
@twiddle7125 I agree! Sarah Chang has such a beautiful imagination and finesse when it comes to the colouring of these concertos...they just come alive under her fingers! The phrasing, the tone colour...everything...simply wonderful! :)
I saw her play all of The Four Seasons live w/ the York (PA) Symphony Orchestra at the Strand-Capitol. My jaw literally (no, not figuratively) DROPPED. Gotta love the "Romantic fire," to quote Sllvlloov.
there are a lot of family names that are shared between China and Korea. Some times only the same pronunciation with different root and some times from the same root. but in the end, it doesn't really matter. why do you even feel the need to bring it up?
I WAS GONNA MAKE A REALLY STUPID, YET FUNNY, COMMENT - BUT SINCE YOU SEE FIT TO EXCLUDE THE LIKES OF ME FROM SUCH HIGH BROW CONVERSATIONS I SHALL GO ELSE WHERE WITH MY WIT AND HOMOR. PS - I HOPE YOUR SOUND POST FALLS OVER. :^)
@death0personified whilst you are right and this comes from the baroque ERA , this work itself is programmatic style, a style that is very much used in the romantic era. it's programmatic because it's meant to represent/depict/mean something, in this case there are the sonnets such as the horrible wind at the beginning and the stomping of the feet throughout. therefore, it actually is quite romantic in some aspects as well as baroque, each theme sort of applies to the doctrine of affection
@SsteinwayS yeah me too. i love to laugh til my stomach hurts, stoopid or not sometimes. & always i am craving the intelligent conversations...even i am starving for that. being a hermit. & its more fun to laugh with someone else, & to have someone to bounce yr humour & wit offa.
wow when she plays winter its sooo awesome. than when i play summer it sounds nothing like the way she says it. and i even play the solos and they still dont sound that good
@SsteinwayS - I BET YOU LOVE MY COMMENTS, THEY ARE BOTH STUPID, FUNNY, AND, AND, HMMM, NEVER MIND! ;^) GOOD COME BACK SSTEIN! ALSO, GOOD AUDIO AND THE PICTURE AIN'T BAD EITHER (ROFL), LORD BLESS!
