There are many great violinists out there. But very few exude *authority* from every pore as does Ms. Kyung Wha Chung when she plays. It is truly spectacular both to watch and to listen.
Kyung Wha Chung is the first Korean woman violinist to achieve international recognition. In the years after she made her debut in London playing the Tchaikovsky Concerto, there have been many other Korean, Japanese, and Chinese female violinists to appear on the international concert stage. However excellent they all are, none come even close to Ms. Chung´s level of playing from all points of view. Her technique is flawless, her tone most beautiful and her musicality compelling. She was the first of the orientals to achieve international virtuoso status and she is still the best! She has an instinctive musicianship that only the greatest artists possess.
Her smirk after the descending octaves in the end of the third movement is what we do this for, it is fun and exciting to make music and give to various audiences. Playing violin has been and will continue to be the joy of my life.
Absolutely spellbounding. It makes me dumb. Most beautiful sound and tone. She occupied the highest position for the great violinst together with Heifetz.
I get chills in my body now. She even rarely looks at her hand on ebony but really “feels” the music. She had concerts in south korea lately and executed with masterful style. Her profundity toward philosophy of music is bottemless, and I think it makes her music to be understood distinctly
For whatever reason I've reached my 70s without ever having listened to this wonderful concerto before. Yes, I'm sure I've heard it, or movements of it on the radio, but I've never sat down and truly listened to it until now. Maybe it's because no other performance has grabbed my attention in the way that this one has: KWC is truly mesmerizing in this, as in pretty much anything she plays. If I could only take the recordings of one violinist with me to a desert island it would be a hard choice between hers and Perlmann's.
So many great things have been said about her and her music. I just want to say that every time I play her music, I am so touched all over again. I truly can listen to her music with my heart and soul.
Kyung is one of my favorite artists. She has such a gorgeous sound! Her music is so precise and so wonderfully interpreted!! Always a flawless performance and both brilliant and elegant. Her and itzhak totally rule this piece!
She's special; one of the greats. I do think that the recording lets the orchestra overpower the performer; the engineers placement of microphones could have favored the violinist more.
I had never listened to this concerto. I’m glad this is the first recording of it I listen to. Also, I don’t normally point this out, but my god is she beautiful.
I think, personally, in the First Movement, that the tempo is about as perfectly close to Allegro, ma non troppo as can possibly be. Perfect speed and great job by Conductor, Soloist, as well as Orchestra.
+Vickky Clowes It's because, well, it's not Dvoraks best piece. It's just a violin concerto, like many others. You cannot compare it to Beethoven, Walton, Prokofief, etc., and many others. Or Brahms. So I wonder a bit why she selected this concerto at all.
+Albert Müller You make a great point, and of course Beethoven and Prokofiev's concertos are classics, but they've become so standard in my mind that playing one of those concertos doesn't distinguish yourself. To me, this industry is all about distinguishing yourself form the norm- being able to turn on the radio and instantaneously recognize Chung's amazing fire and tone, or being able to recognize the cadenza that Heifetz wrote for himself in the Tchaikovsky.
+Albert Müller Actually, the first 2 movements of this song appeared in the post-apocalyptic video game Fallout 3, as one of several solo pieces played on a survivor radio station. I think it speaks volumes when one of the best game franchises alive assumes this music will survive nuclear annihilation. It's not as well 'known' as it should be, but it needs no comparison to Beethoven or Brahms as the reason why it's odd people listen or play these pieces at all. Not even considering Dvorak came many years after the triple B's (Bach Beethoven & Brahms), and despite the fact that the first virtuoso soloist Dvorak wrote this song for refused to play it, it's apparent Kyung-Wha has a deep connection to this piece. The real wonder is how long did it take her to play it this well, eh?
Albert Müller If you're saying this is not Dvořák's best; well, then the Beethoven concerto wasn't his best piece either. Not hating on it, but he wrote much better. And, until Joseph Joachim (around Brahms' time) it was considered a bad piece, not due to its progressiveness, like other Beethoven, but because the violin part is kind of awkward to play. Also, even Brahms agreed that his own violin concerto was not his best - too much he wanted to do but Joachim made him take out because it would be too hard. And even so, it's kind of awkward. Not musically - technically. Oh, and Joseph Joachim, for whom this concerto was written didn't refuse to play it, as far as I remember. He just couldn't do the premier and never got round to it later.
Exactly how does someone own something that already went of copyright in the public domain. It's good but I suggest listening to Mutter's of both. Much bolder playing.
Mutter was terrible on Dvorak, so intense; Dvorak was a relaxed Bohemian not German for God sake, she needs to relax. Her Beethoven with Osawa and Berlin was one of the best though. By the way, did I mentioned no living violinist ever beats Perlman on Brahms?
What was that pop at 26:29? Did the conductor bang the baton on the podium? WTH? What a fantastic performance of this beautiful but amazingly difficult concerto.
@@philipfeeley7914 Thanks for your reply..I thought I was just hearing things...Still what an impressive performance. Such a great passionate player. And very intelligent and friendly for an artist of this caliper. I still think Her Bruch performance w/LSO-Previn is one of the best ever. If you watch that video ,as you might have, you'll understand why instantly. Her bowing is almost superhuman. So very very great! BTW..At that time the video was recorded I don't recall seeing one female member in the entire orchestra. Different time then, but, I'm glad things have gotten better. Women are just as good, if not better, than just male players. Well...That's been corrected..so We all should be happy about that. Anyhow..Thanks for the Reply. *Cheers* and I hope you and your friends and family remain safe thru this Pandemic. Regards...Larry
@Sir Scofferoff Oh I agree 100 % with you. It's all about the talent. Gender has nothing to do with it. But..I was only pointing out that at that point in time, women who had the chops to play in the orchestra might have been passed over? Male or Female if you have the talent and can cut the rigors of working in an orchestra a fair level playing field would be in order. Yes?
This is 1983 people are commenting she is new? I guess new to those particular people. This Dvorak is is one of the most interesting violin concertos with some parts actually almost schmaltzy or Hollywood, with a wide variety of flavours put in, with Slavic and folk being mixed in good amounts.
Not sure what you mean. Ms Chung Made her international debut in 1967, and has been around ever since apart from occasional breaks for raising her sons or a finger injury. People can make comments on artists regardless they are new or old, can't they?
Her playing is amazing - even though she added what seemed to be too much vibrato in the piece (I've never heard it so I don't know if it's meant to be played like this) - But it is still amazing!
There are many great violinists out there. But very few exude *authority* from every pore as does Ms. Kyung Wha Chung when she plays. It is truly spectacular both to watch and to listen.

Legendary. I haven't listened to perfect Dvorak violin concerto like this before.
리카르도 샤이와 정경화님의 젊은 시절이네요. 정경화샘이 인터뷰에서 하셨던 말씀이 생각납니다. 음악만을 생각하고 연주하던 저 시절은 로맨틱했다!
She is so great! Ms. Chung loves the music and the music loves her. Thrilling !
this is the most powerful delivery of Dvořák violin concerto ever!
Would rather listen to MA, but if you insist, Thankyou.
Absolutely spellbounding. It makes me dumb. Most beautiful sound and tone. She occupied the highest position for the great violinst together with Heifetz.

She *occupies* (present tense). Thank you!

okay WOW she ate that and left no crumbs. a queen. she paved the way.
Bast in the would.
She's sow Beautiful.
Also And.Very Generous!!!
Kyung Wha Chung is the best.
So many great things have been said about her and her music. I just want to say that every time I play her music, I am so touched all over again. I truly can listen to her music with my heart and soul.
Kyung-Wha at her best!!!

She and Itzahk.
It' is accuite point.
Absolute magic and joy! Thank you for the wonderful video
매일 Muti하고 한 것만 듣다가 이거 들으니 또 신선한 맛이 있네요. 명연주 중의 명연주.
She's special; one of the greats. I do think that the recording lets the orchestra overpower the performer; the engineers placement of microphones could have favored the violinist more.
Great performance!
Thank you for sharing this high quality rendition of Mme Chung in her prime time.
+Dr.Calvin Lee Yep, that was her prime!
Breathtaking yet so much joy to the ears! Such poise and control yet passionate and powerful!
In short.. just perfect.
I had never listened to this concerto. I’m glad this is the first recording of it I listen to. Also, I don’t normally point this out, but my god is she beautiful.
휼룽한 연주 들을수있어서 매일 감사 합니다~~~^~^
I think, personally, in the First Movement, that the tempo is about as perfectly close to Allegro, ma non troppo as can possibly be. Perfect speed and great job by Conductor, Soloist, as well as Orchestra.
@@jeanmarshfanit was allegro ma non troppo

Sublime - one of my favourites.
She is awesome!
She is Perfect. She is legend like sumi Jo. I am very proud of the two as Korean.

Such a exquisit performer !
Again, another treasure of humanity
정말참멋있습니다모습에서자부심을느낄정도로대단합니다
Liked is an understatement- the huge enjoyment and his enthusiasm makes this conductor something out of the ordinary- Thanks to all present.
Man, she's on fire.
What a elaborate and
exquisite piece of music !!
Absolutely stunning!
Maravilho!!! É como Deus tocar meus ouvidos
Zertifizierte intergalaktische!
Very commanding performance.kyung Wha Chung does Dvorak justice.Awesome thanks!
너무 조아요.....😭😭😭

so wonderful !
오래오래보고싶습니다건강하십시요
The best recording of this concerto for no doubt
Marvelous!
Such a valuable video! Thank you.

不知為何,德佛札克的唯一一曲小提琴協奏曲,知名度稍遜,不過身為國民樂派的大家,手下實在極少敗筆,這曲實在太好聽了。咱心目中一直的版本是密爾斯坦的小天使版,詮釋及錄音都是一流,因此咱也就不作他人想。沒想到鄭京和也有此曲的錄音,以前不曾在唱片行看過,此版咱聽了二十分鐘了,硬是要得......
ヤッパ、チョン・キョンファさん、素晴らしい、指揮者は、シャイーさんじゃないですかー なかなか、良いですね。
감사합니다

I didn't know this and other videos existed. She was a marvel. I particularly like her Berg/Bartok 1 recording with Solti/CSO from around this time.
Not with Solti, but there's a video of her performing Berg concerto in Dublin on my channel too
30:30 지휘자분 너무 화려하다ㅋㅋ 곡이랑 어울리게 열정적이심
Listen to her playing Bach's partita(s). It s the Sin Qua Non articulation of the adage that "What Music Cannot be Found in the Notes"
Great 👍
めちゃええ演奏
この曲を誤解していました
楽しい
Riccardo Chailly seems to really have a great time.
개성강하고 ..wild한 격조높은연주였습니다
she owns this piece like perlman owns the brahms.
Exactly how does someone own something that already went of copyright in the public domain. It's good but I suggest listening to Mutter's of both. Much bolder playing.
Mutter was terrible on Dvorak, so intense; Dvorak was a relaxed Bohemian not German for God sake, she needs to relax. Her Beethoven with Osawa and Berlin was one of the best though. By the way, did I mentioned no living violinist ever beats Perlman on Brahms?
Increíble
best dvorak out there
Passion!
She and Chailly belong to the stage.
Its not the Rundfunk Sinfonie Orchester but the Radio-Symphonie Orchester Berlin, nowadays Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin.

Yes is was a beautiful performance. And you're right - it looked like he banged the podium at that moment. Unusual.

this is beautiful regardless

When a hear the first mov. Looks like it was made by beethoven and chopin,eventhough chopin neve did a violin concerto.
소름이다
Which is harder to play this one or Mendelssohn's ?
I'm trying to learn this piece and I think it's more difficult than the Mendelsohn.
of course it depends on the violinist, but dvorak is much more difficult technically
@@ajc_4147 thank you for your comment ,I understood
Her playing is amazing - even though she added what seemed to be too much vibrato in the piece (I've never heard it so I don't know if it's meant to be played like this) -
