"Mistakes she made" ... really ??? Instead of paying attention to her "mistakes", I pay attention to her superb technique, musicianship and passion ! She is playing better than ever ! About mistakes ... even if she makes some, who is perfect ?
A senior citizen showing the kids that the body is older, but the spirit is still strong. Go girl !! There are some rough spots, but the fire is still in the belly. I watch the young horses when a cool breeze comes up and they start dancing. The retired horses remember their youth and come out and dance with them. I smiled through this. I'm two years older than she.
(15/10/2024; 12:55 hs.) -- Habrán pasado 25 ó 30 años desde que escuché por última vez esto. Lo tenía en cassette. Gracias por publicar el concierto. Saludos desde Ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina).
For tone and phrasing, I haven't heard any violinist play the Scottish Fantasia as well as KWC. Nor the Franck Sonata with Lupu. Truly capturing the spirit of the composition.
경화님의 연주는 절제됨이 느껴져서 그게 바로 감동으로 이어집니다.교만할수도 있는데 그걸 최대한 절제 하시는 아름다움!그래서 감동이 더 커지는 것 같습니다.그런데, 요즘의 경화님 연주는약간 강렬 해져서 이 또한 눈물나게 감동입니다 연세에 딱 어울리는 자기 표출로 보여져서요.아마 살이온 인생도 그랬으리라 느껴지면서 가슴 벅차 오는게 있더라구요.
I love the way she moves... She's feeling the music. Despite whatever slight imperfections, there's great emotional expression here and moments when her tones simply soars. The orchestra is playing their hearts out for her-more than if this was just an ordinary concert. She has contributed so much to music over her distinguished and celebrated career.
So happy this masterpiece in phenomenal Kyung-Wha Chung's perfomence was in the list of "recommended" today, when it is raining outside, when nature is "crying".
It is true that she is not like what she used to be because she suffered a finger injury which prevented her from playing. It is amazing that she can even play. Great musicians like her experience great difficulties in Li. They are only human. Please respect them.for what they have accomplished and brought great music making to all of us. Are we going to judge them by one period of their life where they experienced difficulties? Horowitz suffered from depression and did not play up to his usual standard as some of you would like to call it. Andrei Gavrilov, the Russian pianist suffered from depression too and people said the same thing about him. He is not the same. As an audience, we are not perfect. Why should we expect these musicians to be perfect?
Thank you so much for posting this! How wonderful to see Kyung Wha Chung performing again, and still playing straight from the heart ... utterly beautiful!
Chung is my favorite violinist - in my opinion only Heifetz and Oistrakh are in the same league. She combines ardor and control in everything she does.
She is my very favorite! She plays with feeling and with great passion. When I play, I try to play with passion for the music otherwise it is not worth playing at all.
I fell in love with Kyung Wha Chung’s Scottish Fantasy because the passion and tenderness in her playing, particularly the third movement. I had her recording but always wanted to see her playing this piece. I am overjoyed to find this video.
Robby asked who's perfect? HEIFETZ ... that's who. Find his recording of this and you'll know what magnificent perfection is! This was one of his favorite pieces and with Heifetz playing, it's one of mine too!😊
so beautiful again that the music actually touches me physically again! I was watching the DVD, Violin Masters: Two Gentlemen of Cremona, Vadim Repin said the sound that the best of best instruments and violinists produce can actually be touched physically, that explains why everytime i listen to Ms.Chung play, i will have goosepumps on my arms. Hopefully next year her upcoming tour will go smoothly, love to see her at Carnegie Hall.
Tecnically she is far from being perfect...but there is something in her playing which nowdays tecnically perfect young violinist can't present... There is such a strong emotion and she knows what she want to talk about!!
Wow, don't go mad at me, I'm saying this because I know her as a violinist with no mistakes, check out her bartok violin concerto no.2 for instance. Such impossible concerto she nails it perfectly. As for the musicianship I don't question, and that's what makes her ony of my favourite violinists
Circa 6:35 when she changes from ff to subito piano in one bow, that is just awesome. I'd say KWC still rocks at... oh well I shouldn't reveal a lady's age, should I?
Horowitz, Gavrilov battled depression and took time away from playing. Be kind to those who had mental and or physical problems. The human race is not perfect. Never will be. It does not matter how Heifetz played. What is perfection anyways? By the way, Heifetz played the Mendelsihnn Concerto too fast. It is like a car race.
Gorgeous !!! 정 경화 대한민국의 자랑 ! 정 명훈 대한민국의 자랑 ! 대영제국의 국격을 느낄 만큼의 London Symphony Orchestra 수준의 음악을 이끌어내는 대한 민국 Hebrew 민족의 유일한 지휘자 정 명훈 !!! 역사적인 명 연주....... *낮춰진 volume 때문에 자칫 놓치기 쉬운 세계적인 수준의 수준 높은 명연주 입니다. 우리나라 음악 수준이 이정도라면 지구촌 세계인들의 사랑을 받지않을까요 ?
I prefer her not-so-polished playing to that of say Hilary Hahn or Jascha Heifetz, who might be greater equipped technicians but are unable to match Kyung- Wha Chung in musicality, that elusive quality. With such an exciting and passionate interpretation, I am willing to forgo those intonation slips (no one is denying them) as such depth of emotion is a rarity while performances with "perfect" intonation can be heard virtually everywhere. I'm always amazed by her wide range of tonal variation.
violinmusicfan Interesting comments. I agree with you that Heifetz does not play every piece better than others. I like all of them...Sarah Chang, Ray Chen, Kyung Wha Chung, Szymon Goldberg, Josef Hassid, Kreisler, Menuhin, Milstein, Ginette Neveu, David Oistrakh, Michael Rabin, Issac Stern and others that I did not intentionally omit. All of them have different styles. Makes it interesting.
Ah, thats where I disagree. For me, polished playing does not equal to better musicianship. Playing in tune is necessary for a musical performance but more than that is required, such as dynamism and phrasing. When I listen to her tone, I hear great variations in pressure and more dynamic extremes than average but certainly not just "a bunch of scratches", Her vibrato has always been a favorite of mine, slightly more narrow and rapid but never obtrusive. To each his own I guess :)
I have been a fan of hers for many years but here, right from the beginning the intonatiom is not spot on. I wish she has been able to regain the effortless style of playing that she was able to combine with noble interpretations.
Thanks for the sincerity, apparently everybody is not allowing to criticize this performance in the comment section. Also she tends to be aggressive on the instrument and doesn't let it breathe. I mean the 4th movement is almost difficult to listen to... It' s a pity I loved her Walton violin concerto when young but she didn't really get back in shape ever. Also not a fun of the orchestral mood achieved by his brother, kind of very dark and passionate, I think this piece should not feel like a tragedy but like a very melanchonic and somewhat playful.
Didn't she used to be more accurate with intonation in her earlier years? I listen to recordings and don't remember all the slips that I hear with this.
Yes, but she had a nearly career ending finger injury in 2005 that took her years to recover from. I don't think her technique has been quite as sharp since then, but it's amazing she came back to this level at all.
She had some trouble with the outer movements (intonation and I quite dislike her bow attack sometimes) but overall well played and some moments of great beauty, even in the final fast movement!
한국의 자랑스런 바이올리니스트 정경화님은 그동한 신체적과 또한 손가락의 사고에도 불구하고 어려운 스카티쉬 판타지를 저토록 훌륭히 연주하는 모습에 존경과 감탄을 자아냅니다. 오케스트라의 연주도 너무 좋고 세계에 내어놓아도 하나도 빠지지 않는 연주입니다. 모든것이 좋으나, 정명훈의 지휘의 비트에 정확성이 좀더 있었으면 아쉬움이 있습니다. 물론 모든곡의 비트지휘는 오히려 단원을 피곤하게 만들수 있지만 아주 중요한 부분에서는 타임의 비트와 특정한 부분에서 지휘자의 눈은 간접적인 지휘의 영향력이 있습니다. 정명훈은 눈감는것 까지는 좋으나 너무 톤 페인팅의 지휘와 아티큘레이션의 프레이즈도 굴려서 흘려버리고 단원들 보다는 허공을 쳐다보며 혼자서 심취하는듯한 것은 음악적 교감차원에서는 그리 좋지 않아 보입니다. 서울시향 단원들이 너무나 잘하고 테크닉의 뛰어나고 앙살블 기량이 뛰어나기 때문에 사실은 지휘자가 없어도 충분히 이곡을 반주할수 있다고 믿어지며 악장은 이미 세계적으로 유명하고 대단히 훌륭한 독주자이며 앙상블에 대가이기에 정명훈의 난잡한 지휘에도 이렇게 훌륭히 오케스트라 소리를 만들수가 있음은 퍽 다행으로 여겨집니다. 철학적인 지휘, 톤페인팅의 지휘, 눈감고 심취하는 지휘, 교감위주의 지휘...등 다 좋으나 쓸데없는 곡선으로 비트를 흘려버리기는 필요한 부분만 했으면 좋겠다는 생각을 해봅니다.
She’s the real thing. A tremendous artist- who gives her all to every performance.
"Mistakes she made" ... really ???
Instead of paying attention to her "mistakes", I pay attention to her superb technique, musicianship and passion ! She is playing better than ever ! About mistakes ... even if she makes some, who is perfect ?
Yes, I agree with you. She was 62 years old in 2012? Her passion to music is beyond description.
64살에 이렇게 힘 있는 연주를 보여주는 사람은 별로 없다. 아직도 이런 좋은 음악을 들을 수 있어서 행복하다.
사십여년 전,
이화여대 강당서 정트리오 연주를보고 세 분께 싸인도 받은 열성팬였는데 요즘엔 덕후라고 하지요.세월이 흘러 이렇게 귀한 연주를 보고싶고 듣고싶을 때 영상으로 볼 수있다니 그저 너무나 행복하네요.

She gave me goosebumps! Her passion is so inspiring!
제가 알기에 클래식은 모두가 대중적으로 좋아할수 있는 음악입니다! 저희 어머님도 바이올린 켜는 모습이 멋지고 소리가 아름답다고 정경화 교수님 연주를 좋아하셨습니다!
Plays with all the skill and artistry she did thirty five years ago. Nothing has changed.
Only her repertoire has increased over the years.
I think so!
In tears. Lovely. unlike so many modern violinists you know music comes first with this artist.
It is true that she is not like what she used to be because she suffered a finger injury which prevented her from playing.

I'm just loving to see Ms Chung loving every moment of music making.
Brilliant brother(conductor) and sister performance.
In five words I say: very very very very beautiful.

Holy crap that sound is amazing.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
I love her ability to focus, regardless of how difficult and exhausting a run may be!
What makes this special is that both she and her brother love Scotland. It shows here.
It's so heavenly.....I am proud of Chung trios:)
So DEAR
Mesmerized! I can't tear myself away from this performance.
No matter what... Kyung Wha Chung played with great emotion and conviction lacking in today's violin playing.
she is a Queen of violin bravo !
Es la interpretación que me ha gustado más de esta obra
Gorgeous !!!
Great performance with spirit of great Hebrew희부류 稀 部 類 민족 民 族 , 희부류 稀 部 類 겨레 Ke-re-et !!!
This performance is sweet! And the ending is my favorite part.
Tecnically she is far from being perfect...but there is something in her playing which
nowdays tecnically perfect young violinist can't present...
There is such a strong emotion and she knows what she want to talk about!!
exactly...however she were being perfect for past 20 years. she needs more time to take care of her children today I guess :P
Listen to the pause between her notes. You can sense the magnetism connecting the notes.
Absolutely breathtaking! I like more her performance in her later years.
Bruch must've poured his heart and soul onto this!
The harpist is superb.
Simply superb!

maravillosa mujer , y lo que toca en el video es una magnifica obra bellamente interpretada
Everyone looks so happy at the end!
Great! 👏👏👏
Wonderful violinist with her younger brother conducting.
Circa 6:35 when she changes from ff to subito piano in one bow, that is just awesome. I'd say KWC still rocks at... oh well I shouldn't reveal a lady's age, should I?
Kyung-Wha Chung....she is one of a kind! WOW Nobody better...maybe Heifetz? Still doubting....

Me encanta el estilo de esta violinista
Wonderfull to hear her breathe new life into the Heifetz vehicle.
SHE is back !!!
Amazing!!! :)
fantastic ! Music hasnt limits. No chanse for war.
Horowitz, Gavrilov battled depression and took time away from playing. Be kind to those who had mental and or physical problems. The human race is not perfect. Never will be.

By the way, Heifetz played the Mendelsihnn Concerto too fast.
