Ever since, as a teenager, I first heard her debut recording with the LSO and saw her perform in my home town (with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra), she has been my No 1 violinist. Absolute perfection. A great artist. A constant inspiration.
I heard Ms. CHUNG as a teenager also live in Cincinnati Elgar Concerto. As she as aged the playing is more intense, less accurate, but more real and human. Brava
+Brynna C +Liz Clegg we all know what violin sonata entails. coming from a person who has studied and performed this piece, and has put a great deal of care into assessing the score; Chung plays it as if its a show piece, sometimes completely ignoring marked dynamics and moods, completely ignoring the palette of colors Grieg tries to paint with in his harmonies melodies and articulations, and often times completely altering rhythms! I think that every performer has the right to perform a piece how they wish to perform it. Obviously she is a great violinist, but as far as her interpretation of this piece, I kind of agree with Liz; a violin sonata IS chamber music, and the way Chung performs here it simply doesn't feel this way. But to each his/her own :)
Would you mind pointing out the those places and explaining the whys and wherefores? I am always looking to be knowledgeable if not discriminating. Thanks
@@bennyboost I do. Memorization is not hard at all if the pianist puts their mind to it. I don't even have to think about it, I just memorize it naturally. Even in chamber music context. So it would be better if the pianist memorized their part. More impressive, more professional, easier to play.
@@JoshuavanderVeen Well.. he is much more famous and busier than we are. I believe Kyung Wha Chung would surely respect and be pleased that he took the time to accompany her in a limited schedule. His accompaniment exactly what that violinist wants. It is an honor to be able to the performance of two great masters on RUclips for free.
@@hongkyunglim1039 Yeah, I know it's good enough as it is, but it'd be _even better_ if he memorized his part. It'd be way cooler, way more impressive, and contribute to the overall performance.
@@JoshuavanderVeen I agree with the opinion that sometimes you can be more immersed in music when you memorize music perfectly. But in my personal opinion, memorizing music is not an absolute condition in completing music. There are many different opinions among performers who have to digest more than 30 repertoires a year about the true value of memorizing music. When you play without looking at the music, you tend to play it almost like a habit due to your muscle memory. However, when you see the music, you could find a new intention of the composer from a different perspective even on the stage. For example, in the Baroque and Classical period, it was not accepted to memorize music because musician did not trust an accuracy of the performance even though it was played exactly as it was written on the sheet music. People who play harpsichord still see music. As we all know, it is not because they cannot memorize music but they do not agree any performance without respecting and communicating with composers by seeing music. In addition, If you listened to this performance on CD instead of RUclips, you wouldn't be able to tell whether that pianist memorize music or not. As I usually listen to music with sound only. The pianist doesn't sound like he's playing it with less preparation but he listens to all the violin sounds and doesn't leave out any instructions and notes. Memorizing sheet music is not a big deal at all, but it's not easy to listen to other instruments and harmonize very sensitively as he did.
클라라 주미강 연주 듣고 잘해서 충격을 받았는데 이분은....듣는입장에서 너무 편하게....하늘에서 벼락이 떨어지시는것 같아요...와....클라스....지리네요 ㅠㅠ 대가는 정말 달라도 다릅니다....존경스럽습니다

2nd movement 8:50
3rd movement 15:38
Thx
I was a violin player at 13 aged at 1954. I have performed this piece. Wonderful experience. Love the Grieg sonata C minor.
Her passion doesn't seem to age after all those years...
This is so beautiful... I’m in tears! 😢
She is the best ever in my opinion. Thanks for uploading on youtube.
The second movement is incredibly beautiful.
화려하면서도 절도있는 연주 잘 보았습니다.
역시 ... 정경화선생님 ..
Wonderful sense of rhythm and urgency! She will always be my favourite :)
Thank you very much

She was marvelous! Last night I was so lucky to listen o her recital in Hong Kong !!! She heated up the whole concert hall...
maravilloso trabajo.
8:50 2nd mov ❤❤❤
Fabulous passionate playing! Who is humming through the music (the pianist? the recording estrellitalee?)
정경화 선생이 지금 사용하는 바이올린 가격이 30억 이상이라고....
또 한 대 바이올린 가격도 그 가격이랍니다. 연주 또한 죽여주네요
Who know the pianist ? I like him so much!
Robert Mcdonald, according to the subtitle
I've heard this piece played better. BTW, its Sonata for Violin and Piano, not just a sonata for violin.
***** Thank you
+Liz Clegg The audio is bad.
+Brynna C The piano here is not just accompanying the violin, it has an equal role.
that's what sonata means

I love her freestyle, but I think she uses too much pressure on her bow arm till it dampens the vibrations of the strings.
she is not as sharp as before. Less control of right hand. Bad habits cropping up.

The pianist would do well to memorize his part, it looks more professional to play without music.
Nobody expects a collaborative pianist in a chamber music context to ever memorise their part.
