She has no fear. There is none. She is backed by this whole orchestra and still can shine through during a fortissimo... you would have to really mean each note you play to do that, and therefore know every note and what it means and not be afraid to let each one shine and sing. Thank you Chloe for showing humanity the beauty of music, expression, and commitment.
Maybe you remember Christian Li from Menuhin. He won the shared 1st price together with Chloe. I visited his youtube channel yesterday and it was very interesting. I think both young artists made great progress since Menuhin and both are very good but totally different way. And even people visiting their channels are totally different :). It was a clever decision to split the 1st price. You just can't compare Chloe's interpretation with Li's one. For me Chloe is very sincere, very natural, her music has thousands of layers, with tiny polished details and deep respect to composer's will and to the music itself. What surprises me again and again is her instinct and sensitivity. She is able to find hidden secrets and beauty where many great artists with big names failed. Li on the other hand plays on edge from the start till the end. He has more or less just one layer, but superpolished, supershiny, no much details, no much respect but very straightforward. Li's style is able to "sell" music even to people who don't know much about it which is the bigger part of his fanpage comunity. :D It is a bit like Chopin versus Liszt. As I said it was very interesting experience.
You've summed it up well. Its a little like comparing David Oistrakh and Jascha Heifeitz. One captivates while you listens with your ears, the other enthralls you while you watch the onstage performance.
If you are fond of finding hidden treasuries in the music (except of Chloe Chua of course) I can recommend you those 2 names: Mstislav Rostropovich - violoncello Ivo Pogorelich - piano Anyway this breed of artists is very rare and among 12 years old players it is quite unique. Respect.
Good point here just like you can't compare to a toothbrush and a broom which cleans better both have different cleaning properties. One is to clean the floor one is to clean your teeth and gum. So they are good in their own way.
Conductor: Hey can you guys fill in with this youth ochestra? WInds Section: Ugh, idk, who's the Soloist? Conductor: Chloe Chua. Winds: You son of a B***h I'm in.
LOL this concerto is a stretch for young musicians to even play the accompaniment music. The young string players are to be commended. That they can play the orchestral parts is impressive. The woodwind work is even harder, and I am not shocked they brought in more mature musicians for that duty.
You Will Be The Greatest Violinist Of This Generation.......you have the Sound Of Heifetz and the Phrasing Of Oistrakh . Stay Strong, Practice Smart, and keep Your Repertoire growing ALL the time . You Have The Magic ! Alan Bash. Juilliard M.M.
@@samlevi4744 Not at all. It is the conductor's job to follow the soloist, not the other way around. What we don't know, however, is how much they were able to rehearse together before this performance. To play together, it's good to know what the other likes and discuss it and put it together in advance of the performance
Phrasing and Control is top notch, Chloe really knows how this piece should sound like !! Her tone quality is incredible - the first few phrases immediately stir up my emotion, and give me goosebumps !
The fact that there's no score in front of her. She's amazing! How does one master 30 minutes of playing at age 12?? She's extremely dedicated and hard working, an astonishing inspiration to people all over the world. 🤩
In every piece she plays on RUclips there is no score. She must have an extraordinary musical memory akin to Mozart. Even playing tangos without a score or otherwise having a background in tango music. I guess she just hears and knows. I'm waiting for the Tchaikovsky violin concerto, that will be a treat!
@@rafanifischer3152 muscle memory. The amount of practice required to actually play at this level means that by the time you’re ready to perform, you don’t need sheet music. Also, the music is way too difficult to read from the score anyway - if you want to play at an exceptional level then you can’t distract yourself by focusing on which notes you need to play and when. All your energy has to go into *how* to play, not what to play. She probably practiced this piece for years before performing it
Totalmente de acuerdo. Chloe declaró que admira al violinista Itzhak Perlman. Yo escuché a Perlman interpretar este Concierto para Violín Op. 64 de Mendelssohn; pero me quedo con esta interpretación de Chloe. Tiene una técnica que hace que su interpretación sea exquisita. Chloe impone una especial delicadeza al violín y sus movimientos, mientras que Perlman le impone una fuerza excesiva como tratando de arrancar las cuerdas del violín. Desde Lima, Perú; Éxitos y Bendiciones, Chloe.
sometimes I look at people around me, and then I wonder why the Earth has to still exist. It is because of Chloe that the world exists for some meaning
In the 16 months since this wonderful performance Chloe has learnt and performed in concert two more violin concertos by Mozart (1 and 2), Massenet's Meditation, and Piazzolla's Otoño Porteño. She has also learnt Wieniawski's second violin concerto, although sadly, because of a travel ban as a result of covid, her scheduled performance of it in Macau on 9 January has just been cancelled. Moreover in the next 4 months, either side of performing Bach's Concerto for two violins (with Ye Lin) in Singapore, she will perform two further works for the first time, Vaughan Williams' "The Lark Ascending" in Geneva and Chausson's Poeme in Richmond US as part of the opening gala concert at the 2021 Menuhin Competition. We mere mortals can only marvel and be grateful for the fruits of her labours! What a stupendously talented and extraordinarily hard-working young person!
@@susannestechow1009 Yes, I am sure Chloe will soon have an opportunity to perform the Wieniawski, and this indeed is a very exciting prospect. But there is even better news! Just a week ago on 2 April she was able to perform Vaughan Williams' "The Lark Ascending" in Singapore with the ReSound Collective; and this performance, which received a glowing review in the Straits Times, will be posted on the Resound Collective's channel in a matter of weeks. (Their channel doesn't get the attention it should, even though there is a video on it of Chloe giving a very different and excellent performance of "Winter" with them. Sadly, and remarkably, the performance has only had 880 views!) Furthermore, although Chloe's trip to Richmond for the Menuhin opening concert has had to be cancelled, instead of it she will give a virtual recital on 18 May that will be streamed here on the Menuhin Competition's channel. The program includes three completely new and wonderful works, including Chausson's Poeme and Ysaye's sonate #3 for solo violin, so do look out for it! (I have given more information in a comment under Chloe's sublime and genuinely world class performance of Mozart's violin concerto #2, which as you probably know was finally posted on the Singapore Symphony Orchestra's website a couple of days ago.)
@jack burgess Jack we are obviously two huge unconditional fans of Chloe. This Mendelssohn concerto is obviously wonderfully played by Chloe in her usual deep profound musical manner but I personally think that in a few years she will master it even more and we will be even more mesmerized.
@@lorimart747 I totally agree too, except for "even." Chloe's slow movements are _especially_ moving. Whenever she performs, it is when the tempo slows that her genius, and the depth of her passion and spirit, is most evident.
The precision and all the attention put into every note is what makes this performance really beautiful. Phrases really, really well brought out and the rounded, clean, well varied and smooth tone, that I would say is pretty hard to execute on the violin(maybe it’s just me:o), sounds absolutely splendid. Her familiarity with her violin and the connection is just really impressive! Overall, I would describe her playing as simply really satisfying to watch and listen. Needa practice haiz.....
Absolutely agree. I listened to a couple of performances of this piece by others including some big names in violin landscape, this is the one that I consider the best in quality in terms precision, tempo, dynamics, emotions, and intensity. She played with amazing confidence. The flows of the melody leads me a beautiful journey that is transcendental. I guess this is how Mendelssohn wanted his piece to be played.
Chloe's performances are extremely intense and passionate, while her technique is excellent and her musicality is beyond compare. Moreover, since upgrading to her Guarneri about 18 months ago she has ascended to new heights. When next she performs a romantic concerto, as she surely soon will - and would have already had covid not deprived her of the scheduled Wieniaski 2 with the Macau orchestra - I think the heavens will explode.
I just watched Joshua Bell play the same piece at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra yesterday afternoon. Mr. Bell was wonderful. However, after listening to Chloe, again, I have to say that she was more musical and technically rigorous (you can hear every note), especially during the glissando. Chloe is a very deliberate player of the instrument.
I've heard many people play this concerto, even famous people, and this is by far one of the best I've heard. Superb playing by Chloe and the orchestra.
I used to think that if I listened _very_ carefully I could hear a great performance struggling to emerge. But the more I have listened the more I have understood; and now I just hear a truly great performance.
This playing and interpretation is so youthful and cute! Is it the most detailed and refined? No. Is it one of the best? Yes! I just hope the recording was better.
Dude, I'm always impressed by the coordination. They just get it without any mixing and match their rhythm perfectly. And Chloe's performance, man, you can hear each tone and chord clearly.
cant stop listening. Chloe is a real treasure. I dont how she plays with so much feeling for someone so young. im amazed every singele time I listen. I wish and hope you have the best career ever. You defo deserve it! please post more videos. You fan base needs you! warm wishes from the UK
Though I share the same family name as Chloe, I am not related to her, other than we live in the same city-state, Singapore, near the equator. Ever since Chloe was awarded with Christian Li as the co-winners of the 2018 Menuhin Competition (Junior Section), I have been following each and every upload of their video clips. Knowing and witnessing their progress, my heart is filled with excitement, gratitude, and earnest anticipation: that they will continue to bless this world with their musical giftedness. Reading the occasional reports from local newspapers in Singapore, I have been informed of the commitment of Chloe's teacher, Yin Ke, and her unfailingly supportive parents. In one interview, Chloe once so wisely stated that giftedness alone is insufficient, and her incremental progress is made, as a result of diligence and commitment. "It takes a whole village", this adage is so true. Viewing and commenting on Chloe and Christian Li's performances, I have made new friends. I take this liberty to attach below a few paragraphs from an email I received this morning (sent from New York, a fellow fan of Chloe and Christian Li). This fan (lilianwriter), and many other fans of Chloe and Christian Li, attest to the fact that, indeed, it takes a whole global village, to root for these immeasurably gifted and committed young musicians. It is so heartwarming to witness that Chloe and Christian Li have so many earnest supporters in different continents. As fans, we all collectively stand beside and behind you both, Chloe and Christian, not just for this and next year, but for many future decades to come. Please continue to bless us with the gift of your music making. Quotes below are taken from lilianwriter's email: "Wow, triple wow, Lee-Beng. I've seen this one already, but I watched it again anyway, and once again agree that those Menuhin judges absolutely know what they are doing. Their choice of Chloe and Christian for a joint first prize was just right. These two young performing artists have blossomed and flourished since the competition last year. In this performance, Chloe is completely professional: calm, confident, eloquent, emotional, exciting, exhilarating. She left the orchestra in the dust during the third movement, but the conductor should have prepared her young musicians for the speed challenge they were facing. The end of the third movement is marked allegro molto vivace, and that is what Chloe did. She tried to convey her tempo to the conductor, but, well... Chloe did not act the least bit critical or irritated. She's a true professional, and a very nice person as well. I find her playing very feminine, and at the same time, strong, determined, and virtuosic. Brava Chloe, who has become a great violinist."
Well, the orchestra was still FAR better then the one in Switzerland on Menuhin Finals :D :D :D As for the tempos- it is part of Chloe's "instinct" or "feeling" or how to call it :D Something you can't learn. Something what is part of you, of your experience, inspiration, taste for music .. and maybe a message from heaven. I don't know. You have it or you don't have it. Many professionals or music critics don't have this gift and only handful of true music lovers can recognize it. It is a miracle of music :p
The intensity of Chloe's performance is just so captivating. The notes she played just sail through your heart with such such intensity that emotionally you are spell bound. BRAVO!!! Hope some day she will play Tchaikovsky - Violin Concerto in D major.
An exquisitely beautiful slow movement framed by two electric outer movements, capped by a serious ovation from an enraptured audience. What an extraordinary violinist (and person)!
A superb performance, by any standard. My word, there is an amazing amount of young classical musical talent coming through today. It is in good hands for the future, that’s for sure.
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64 0:42 I. Allegro molto appassionato 13:55 II. Andante 21:57 III. Allegretto non troppo - Allegro molto vivace Amazing playing Chloe!
What really motivates me to practice more precisely is seeing her already play like this at a very young age, if really shows to me that even within relatively short time and with perfect practice it is really possible to become very good!
She is reminiscent of Sarah Chang as a truly rare child prodigy who can incomprehensibly master the international violin repertoire while a child. This is a gift that cannot be acquired by anything but birth and the desire to play.
Other than the superb technique and precision. the maturity of her expression is unreal....the phrasing, color. mood change.. She must be God s student
I'm surprised by this ensemble and music hall's acoustics. The joy of music making beats any name brand. Committed musicians and conductor. She's the reincarnation of Kyung Hwa Chung and Hilary Hahn and Mutter combined - at age 12!
I think you will be interested to know that three months later Chloe gave a scintillating performance of Piazzolla's tango "Otono Porteno" with the China Philharmonic and now two years on, and still only 14, she has just given performances of the four parts of his cycle "Histoire du Tango" that are absolutely astonishing. Like this wonderful Mendelssohn, these videos too are on her YT channel.
Dear lilianwriter: Thank you for your kind words and support all these times. I am very happy that you like my playing, and your encouragement has motivated me to do even better in furure. 🤗
Chloe, many thanks. You are warm and genuine, and you truly deserve all the accolades. Sincerest kind wishes to you always! No response expected.Blessings,Lilian Duval
@@pena1950 Hi! The violin is on loan from someone in my country and I am not sure about the price of the violin but I think its probably around £90k plus.
Chloe you are indeed my favourite 💓💓💓You seem very kind and pure in heart🤍 continue to do what you love and I pray you stay happy and healthy. Take care
The hardest thing is to blend your own artistic touch into a work that's by itself a colossal masterpiece - Chloe here makes it diabolically alive !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
yo creo que Chloe Chua, una niña de 12 años, es la nueva virtuosa del violín. interpreta con un sentimiento muy por encima de su edad, ya sea bach, vivaldi u otros. bravo
A very beautiful, moving but unsentimental reading. I particularly liked the transition in the first movement at 3:30 Well done to Chloe and also to the orchestra and Ms Chen who accompanied her so supportively.
She has no fear. There is none. She is backed by this whole orchestra and still can shine through during a fortissimo... you would have to really mean each note you play to do that, and therefore know every note and what it means and not be afraid to let each one shine and sing. Thank you Chloe for showing humanity the beauty of music, expression, and commitment.

For me Chloe is very sincere, very natural, her music has thousands of layers, with tiny polished details and deep respect to composer's will and to the music itself. What surprises me again and again is her instinct and sensitivity. She is able to find hidden secrets and beauty where many great artists with big names failed.
Li on the other hand plays on edge from the start till the end. He has more or less just one layer, but superpolished, supershiny, no much details, no much respect but very straightforward. Li's style is able to "sell" music even to people who don't know much about it which is the bigger part of his fanpage comunity. :D

Though I share the same family name as Chloe, I am not related to her, other than we live in the same city-state, Singapore, near the equator.
Ever since Chloe was awarded with Christian Li as the co-winners of the 2018 Menuhin Competition (Junior Section), I have been following each and every upload of their video clips. Knowing and witnessing their progress, my heart is filled with excitement, gratitude, and earnest anticipation: that they will continue to bless this world with their musical giftedness.
Reading the occasional reports from local newspapers in Singapore, I have been informed of the commitment of Chloe's teacher, Yin Ke, and her unfailingly supportive parents. In one interview, Chloe once so wisely stated that giftedness alone is insufficient, and her incremental progress is made, as a result of diligence and commitment.
"It takes a whole village", this adage is so true. Viewing and commenting on Chloe and Christian Li's performances, I have made new friends. I take this liberty to attach below a few paragraphs from an email I received this morning (sent from New York, a fellow fan of Chloe and Christian Li). This fan (lilianwriter), and many other fans of Chloe and Christian Li, attest to the fact that, indeed, it takes a whole global village, to root for these immeasurably gifted and committed young musicians. It is so heartwarming to witness that Chloe and Christian Li have so many earnest supporters in different continents.
As fans, we all collectively stand beside and behind you both, Chloe and Christian, not just for this and next year, but for many future decades to come. Please continue to bless us with the gift of your music making.
Quotes below are taken from lilianwriter's email:
"Wow, triple wow, Lee-Beng. I've seen this one already, but I watched it again anyway, and once again agree that those Menuhin judges absolutely know what they are doing. Their choice of Chloe and Christian for a joint first prize was just right. These two young performing artists have blossomed and flourished since the competition last year.
In this performance, Chloe is completely professional: calm, confident, eloquent, emotional, exciting, exhilarating. She left the orchestra in the dust during the third movement, but the conductor should have prepared her young musicians for the speed challenge they were facing. The end of the third movement is marked allegro molto vivace, and that is what Chloe did. She tried to convey her tempo to the conductor, but, well... Chloe did not act the least bit critical or irritated. She's a true professional, and a very nice person as well.
I find her playing very feminine, and at the same time, strong, determined, and virtuosic. Brava Chloe, who has become a great violinist."
Well, the orchestra was still FAR better then the one in Switzerland on Menuhin Finals :D :D :D
As for the tempos- it is part of Chloe's "instinct" or "feeling" or how to call it :D
Something you can't learn. Something what is part of you, of your experience, inspiration, taste for music .. and maybe a message from heaven.
I don't know. You have it or you don't have it.
Many professionals or music critics don't have this gift and only handful of true music lovers can recognize it.
It is a miracle of music :p
27:12 ... tempo finale.
💗💗💗
非常开心看到华人孩子们的天分，努力，和取得的成就。
Thank you for not putting advertising. I enjoyed it immensely.
The intensity of Chloe's performance is just so captivating. The notes she played just sail through your heart with such such intensity that emotionally you are spell bound. BRAVO!!! Hope some day she will play Tchaikovsky - Violin Concerto in D major.
I can't agree with you about intensity in her playing but she has a great tecniche and a lovely tone

You need new ears and a bigger heart.
Not just mechanically perfect,but she plays with such feeling for one so young.Thank you for posting❤️
An exquisitely beautiful slow movement framed by two electric outer movements, capped by a serious ovation from an enraptured audience.
What an extraordinary violinist (and person)!
She knows the Heifetz recordings. Echoes here. Wonderful.
She makes every tone sound like gold
I’m just in awe at how Chloe makes it look like anyone can play this concerto the way she does too, which is definitely not true
Beyond any adult violinist, the obvious marvel is here ! Chloe Chua plays authentic , no artifice, only sensitivity and grace, what else ?
God mode stamina & brain power for a little girl.
These musicians surely practice for countless hours per day.
A superb performance, by any standard. My word, there is an amazing amount of young classical musical talent coming through today. It is in good hands for the future, that’s for sure.
She is like angel
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64
0:42 I. Allegro molto appassionato
13:55 II. Andante
21:57 III. Allegretto non troppo - Allegro molto vivace
Amazing playing Chloe!
What really motivates me to practice more precisely is seeing her already play like this at a very young age, if really shows to me that even within relatively short time and with perfect practice it is really possible to become very good!
You are the only violinist who had me glued to a performance! Your every note seems to be talking to me! Sort of a two way conversationm
She is reminiscent of Sarah Chang as a truly rare child prodigy who can incomprehensibly master the international violin repertoire while a child. This is a gift that cannot be acquired by anything but birth and the desire to play.
Frr😢
I can only find Sarah playing this when she was 15 (in the green dress) is there a version when she was younger like Chloe?
Other than the superb technique and precision. the maturity of her expression is unreal....the phrasing, color. mood change..
She must be God s student
God plays through her. Unmistakeable Divine beauty in her playing.
AMEN!!!
Amazing!👍👍👍This is unbelievable! At the age of 12, she sounded like a professional!
Chloe is my idol and i love her！
I'm surprised by this ensemble and music hall's acoustics. The joy of music making beats any name brand. Committed musicians and conductor. She's the reincarnation of Kyung Hwa Chung and Hilary Hahn and Mutter combined - at age 12!
0:41 Allegro molto appassionato (E minor)
13:52 Andante (C major)
21:58 Allegretto non troppo - Allegro molto vivace (E major)
Wondetful!!
The little girl is Excellent!
They are all such mature musicians.
I think you will be interested to know that three months later Chloe gave a scintillating performance of Piazzolla's tango "Otono Porteno" with the China Philharmonic and now two years on, and still only 14, she has just given performances of the four parts of his cycle "Histoire du Tango" that are absolutely astonishing.
Like this wonderful Mendelssohn, these videos too are on her YT channel.
Technical excellence, staggering musicality.
A hugely rewarding performance.
Chloe, we all love you, and you are splendidly superb!!!
Dear lilianwriter: Thank you for your kind words and support all these times. I am very happy that you like my playing, and your encouragement has motivated me to do even better in furure. 🤗
Chloe, many thanks. You are warm and genuine, and you truly deserve all the accolades. Sincerest kind wishes to you always! No response expected.Blessings,Lilian Duval
@@ChloeChuaviolinist How much does your violin costs?
@@pena1950 Hi! The violin is on loan from someone in my country and I am not sure about the price of the violin but I think its probably around £90k plus.
@@ChloeChuaviolinist When must it be returned?
This piece make me feel like the world so peaceful.

The hardest thing is to blend your own artistic touch into a work that's by itself a colossal masterpiece - Chloe here makes it diabolically alive !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
So beautiful interpretation. By moments I was crying . Good luck Chloë !
Thank you for your wonderful performance, so lovely and touched.
I'm so astonished seeing how easily she plays this
Fraîcheur et maturité musicale. Une découverte et un plaisir de d écouter Chloe Chua
Breathtaking, every single note!!!
Oh, how I love this concerto! And Chloe played it so perfectly!
yo creo que Chloe Chua, una niña de 12 años, es la nueva virtuosa del violín. interpreta con un sentimiento muy por encima de su edad, ya sea bach, vivaldi u otros. bravo
Great, Chloe. Successes and blessings.
imagine being the first violin of an orchestra and get absolutely flexed on by a 12 yo
She is amazing
Full of emotion and humanity very close to the giant Sir Menuhin!
Bravo Chloe you are amazing !!! best regards from south america

SPICY VIOLIN DAISAN NO BAKUDAN: LINGLING
A very beautiful, moving but unsentimental reading. I particularly liked the transition in the first movement at 3:30 Well done to Chloe and also to the orchestra and Ms Chen who accompanied her so supportively.
Spettacolare,melodiosa e strepitosa,bravissima!
Chloe looks so smol that I just wanna protect her, man why isn’t my little sister like her
I think your sister didn’t practice 40 hours a day
@@camieec it be like that man
I wonder how it feels to have a prodigy as a sister...
she might be able to kill you with her pinky lol
She's very good at playing the violin She's amazing
The percussionist really seemed to enjoy her performance
I noticed that.
