Even for a prodigy Sarah Chang was incredible a real force of nature and it's not cliche in this case. Julliard does not accept 5 year olds every day, or at age 8 many appear with Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic, playing Paganini's First Violin Concerto, and recorded this debut recital disc a year later. She is an undisputed phenomenon. We all know what Menuhin said about her around that age.
True on one hand; on the other hand also - if you (let's say but it is pretty much like that) master the world at this age, what do you want to do with the rest of your life?
I did a little experiment hearing (without watching) different versions with different performances and violinists... this is without doubt the one I like the most! All the melody, intonation the force... After discovering who played this amazing concerto I watched Mrs. Chang performance ... how sweet are her eyes when she opens them.... a very contrasting expression for such an intense piece..... At some points I like more Vengerov's interpretations but overall this is the one for me!!!!
No matter the composer Sarah brings tears to my eyes watching her play the violin as if it were simply breathing for her. Truly a prodigy and now one of our greatest virtuoso on the violin.
Literally watching this at 4am and unable to turn it off to go to sleep. She was unbelievably energetic, passionate and skilled at this young age. Impeccable performance :)
This was an amazing performance by an 11 year old prodigy. Even this knowledgeable audience was in awe because they clapped after her first movement, which, if you knew any better, they're not supposed to do. Sarah Chang is one of the greatest violinist of our time and delivers powerful, technical performances at the level of Heifetz.
Charles K. Lee Completely true although many trolls on RUclips try to ridicule her and other Musicians of the younger generation by continually putting them down compared to the old and often long dead greats of the past. I my self prefer her version of this epic Violin Concerto to any other version on YT, Heifetz included. Amazing performance as you say by an 11 year old young girl and often played with her eyes closed !! I cannot see or hear how this performance by the Young Sarah can be improved upon ? I have seen Sarah play live a few times and saw her play the Bruch violin concerto live in London 2012, the audience were stunned at how good she was, myself included and the applause at the end must have surely been heard miles away, Sarah Chang is an awesome Violinist and a nice lady as well who always takes time to meet her fans after her Concerts for autographs, photos and a chat.
***** Yes Sarah Chang was only 11 years old when she played Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in the performance on this RUclips video. Also Sarah recorded her first CD called ''Debut'' when she was only 9 years old, I have the Cd in question and she plays so wonderfully !!
Well if you've ever been to a live performance you know it almost always happens for Tchaikovsky violin concerto. I think Sarah's wonderful and brilliant but it's more the song in this case for the applause.
I agree, although Sarah was only young , eg 11 years old at the time of this performance, to me this is the ultimate version of this emotional Violin Concerto. Even at this age she is touched with greatness and plays from her heart and soul to reach levels that many others could only dream of. I have just looked at your channel and find your videos very interesting, so will spend time to watch your down loads. You are a very profound and interesting person.
I wish to take nothing away from this outstanding performance, but this does not, could not exist separate from a supporting environment. Thanks to her parents, her teachers, and ever one of you that support serious arts.
Since she was a little girl was already an authentic prodige. OMG to play such a difficult concerto like this. I can guess the practicing time and dedication. Grande Sarah!!
not to reasonable people who understand that Ms. Chang has a rare and incredible gift for music. it should be an inspiration for people to want to play a musical instrument so that they can experience the feeling of creating music. the idea that others would compare their musical abilities to Ms. Chang's is a sad way to look at the priceless gift that she possesses. the true value of art, musical or visual, is not decided by 'judges' at commercial events or critics who want to earn a dollar.
You can always expect a powerful performance with Sarah Chang and this is no exception. The young Sarah had copybook bowing whereas she has got a bit more wayward with her bowing action as she has got older, still amazing musician though. Some people reckon she was at her peak round 15 years old ? Perhaps its my ears, don't know, but I have listened to so many versions of this including the version by the great Heifetz. Personally though for myself, this is my favourite version of this famous Violin Concerto. I find Sarah Changs version so smooth, soothing, effortless and perfect in every way. Sarah also presses all the emotional buttons as she plays those parts perfectly eg for just one example 19.22 to 23.40 mins. I just cannot see how this particular part could be bettered by anyone and by a child of then 11 years old...mind blowing !! Heifetz on the other hand seems a bit of an old ''Stony faced performer'' that's Heifetz for you, quite emotionless at the best of times and sometimes for me, rather even a bit harsh and abrupt at times in his rendition of this Concerto, eg that's on the 1949 film version of this on RUclips. Obviously that's how some people like to hear this concerto played, not for me though ? By the look on his facein the film, its just another job for him to knock off, just another days work, just my perception and no doubt others will disagree, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions, Viva la difference !!
18:40 Love the proud, encouraging smile Charles Dutoit gave Sarah. Those hidebound members of the audience that frown upon any show of spontaneous reaction to stellar performances in-between movements, and NEVER have the good fortune to witness Sarah live ever again? I would imagine them feeling like right charlies every time they recall that magical occasion or watch this video. 😎
سارة تشانج : عندما كانت في سنها الخامسة امسكت بالكمان وفي سن 12 عاما عزفت كونشيرتو الكمان الصعب نسبيا للموسيقار بيتر تشايكوفسكي بكل روعة واتقان وكان بين الحضور يومها اعظم عازف للكمان وقتها ( منيوهن ) والذي توقع لها أن تكون من مشاهير العازفات في عالمنا وقد كان ..هي تحتل المرتبة الاولي بين العازفات في عالمنا
Although it is not normal to clap after the first movement, this audience could not contain themselves, they knew they were watching something really special.
recently saw lisa batiashvili perform this piece in philadelphia. after the first movement she was given a thunderous standing ovation. after a minute or so the conductor turned to the audience with a smile and asked for quiet so she could continue playing.
@@lazchapman584 I often feel the feeling at classical concerts that people REALLY want to go for e.g Clap and applaud in between movements...but do not want to be the FIRST one to do it !! Read below or click the link !! www.classicfm.com/discover-music/why-dont-we-clap-between-movements/ At a classical concert, you can’t guarantee that this display of enthusiasm won’t earn you a few tuts from other audience members. But it hasn’t always been this way. Like the music itself, classical concert etiquette has evolved over time. In the late 18th century, classical concerts were more like small aristocratic gatherings. Composers like Mozart actually expected people to talk during their concerts - and they enjoyed hearing spontaneous applause. Individual movements were even played all over again if they received a big enough reaction. Then, claques were born. When classical concerts became public in the 19th century, organised groups of professional applauders called claques were often hired to applaud particular performers. Many composers strongly objected to them. Mahler even specified in the score of his Kindertotenlieder that its movements should not be interrupted by applause and he wasn’t alone. In 1842 at the debut of his ‘Scottish’ Symphony, Mendelssohn explicitly asked for it to be played without a break, to avoid any interruptions. Schumann did the same for his piano and cello concertos, as well as his Symphony No.4. By the time recording equipment came around in the 20th century, applauding in between movements came to be heavily frowned upon. People started to think that clapping between the movements of a symphony distracted from the unity of the piece, punctuating works with unnecessary noise on live CD recordings. Today, it’s still a bit of a faux-pas People first wanted to leave the clapping until the end of the work so that audience members could listen to the music totally undisturbed, without the distraction of applause in between movements. And although not a major one, clapping between movements is still considered a bit of a concert faux-pas today. But many people in the industry disagree… “Clapping does not bother me in the least,” says Marin Alsop, conductor of the Baltimore Symphony and São Paulo State Symphony. “When Beethoven pieces premiered, people would clap within the middle of the piece.”The only time I am disturbed by applause,” she tells The Independent, “is when it feels perfunctory or obligatory simply because something has concluded - for example at the end of a slow movement of a Mahler symphony.” Chicago Symphony Orchestra bassoonist William Buchman agrees: “Unlike a lot of other forms of music, silence plays an important role in a lot of classical music.” “The silence is as profound as some of the music, and when that silence is not allowed its space, you lose a lot of the emotional impact that the silence can otherwise generate.” (Chicago Tribune) So, do we need to get more comfortable with silence? Perhaps the answer to the problem is that we should get used to hearing the sound of silence. But if you can’t help bursting into spontaneous applause after the epic crescendo at the end of the first movement of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2 (and who could blame you!), ignore the disapproving tuts and go for it !!
Also my favourite !! It is so wonderful and perfect that once I switch it on.........I am unable to turn it off until I have heard it in all its entirety !! I must have watched this and other videos of the young Sarah playing this over 100 times and NEVER tire of listening to it, complete magic ! Many say that her technique peaked around 15 years old, the present day Sarah bowing is not as textbook as when she was younger. Many say that Heifetz version of this Concerto is the best but I have listened to so many others and Sarah presses all my buttons as the best ever performance, Orchestra and conductor were also wonderful.
After all these years, I'm still overwhelmed by this performance- unbelievable talent, wonderful orchestra, and they were playing at a spectacular venue.
Many seem to think that Sarah Chang was at her best around 15 years old, her bowing was perfect in those days as it is here, not quite so precise now but she is still amazing and has been at the top for nearly 25 years with no breaks or lapses in her teenage years.
I can imagine the greatest passion could be generated at the first touch of each classical masterpiece. For early genius like her, it is reasonable by 15 of age she already grasped the best of all common classical works. It would be hard to recite the best feeling upon them in the later years.
La mejor interpretacion que jamas haya escuchado en mis 70 años de vida de este Concierto de Violin....simplemente excelso. Sara a tus 11 años ya dominabas el arte de sentir e interpretar...reflejas el alma
Please don't even contemplate opening a can of soup: those fingers are entrusted to you on our behalf. This 11 year old??, prompted by instincts attendant to genius, sawed out the tale of abject despondency lucidly. Fabulous.
Menuhin was correct when he said, "Sarah Chang was the most wonderful, perfect, ideal violinist had ever heard" Wholeheartedly agree with that statement. Bought tickets to her concert playing Bruch Concerto next April (2018). Excited already.
Tenemos la suerte y el privilegio de conocer y escuchar a esta increíble, estupenda y magnífica violinista, quien tiene el talento, pocas veces visto, para interpretar, con sentimiento, perfección en la ejecución, que podríamos decir, que ella representa lo excelso, cuando interpreta a los más famosos compositores, como: Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Sarasate, Vivaldi, J. S. Bach y a muchos más y, lo hace con seguridad y concentración, que te eleva el espíritu, al grado de llorar de emoción, gracias por haber nacido, gracias por aprovechar tu talento, gracias por alegrar este mundo, gracias Sarah Chang.
Once Sarah starts playing she becomes a ''Child Woman'' and in her facial expressions quite a ''Little Madam'' at times with the faces she pulls as she is so deep into concentration !! At the end of the performance she becomes the delightful ''Child'' again !! Just an unbelievable performance for a fully grown up adult virtuoso to perform like this yet alone for a little girl like she was at the time.
I used to enjoyed the classical music through Vynal records, so I didn't know her much. Several years ago, going to bed, I turned on radio to listen to FM classical channel(listening and sleeping is my habbit) , the violin concerto was played. It was greater than any other I had ever listened. I didn't sleep to the end to find out that it was Sarah Chang. Lately, I installed internet and connect it my AV system and just saw her playing last night untill 3am. Real prodigy!!!! What is next? Maybe I will go to her concert to sea the grown up Sarah. I am sorry that I didn't see her when she was young but so lucky to see her Here
Also my favourite !! It is so wonderful and perfect that once I switch it on.........I am unable to turn it off until I have heard it in all its entirety !!

@Brian Seals So nice to see such a comment as yours thanking Sarah Chang for this performance of so many years ago when Sarah was only 11 years old. I think this performance is quite wonderful and I adore the violinist Sarah Chang, seen her play live and met her twice in person.
Everything to like and marvel at in this performance from the young Sarah Chang. What a miracle for a little girl of only 11 years old to be able to play as well as this !! Sarah never faltered or burnt out as many do and is still playing as well as ever now in her mid thirties.
+Sunny white Lovely performance from the young Sarah isn't it ! Currently the most views on RUclips for this violin concerto is the version done by the amazing Japanese violinist Sayako Shoji, which when I just checked it had a massive 5,381,086 views. So many different Violinists have videos of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto on YT. So many to choose from and mostly all wonderful viewing and listening which everone you choose !! My personal favorite, well its so hard to choose, for myself I love the way that Hyun Su Shin of South Korea plays the third movement so beautifully, for the whole Concerto its a joint first between the young Sarah and Sayako Shoji, so I would have to give my vote to Sarah Chang on the grounds that she was only 11 years old when she performed this Concert.
Teguh Aditanoyo I have just seen your comment placed a month ago, well I hope this information helps you. I cannot find out the actual makers name of her 1/4 size violin in this performance but have read that her mentor at Juilliard , the legendary Dorothy DeLay, gave Chang the three-quarter size violin which she found it in her attic, where it had been lying for 45 years.' When Sarah was 14 years old it was decided that she was old enough to move up to a full sized Violin and after trying out many with Isaac Stern, she chose the ex Isaac Stern full size 1717 Guarneri del Gesu . Sarah is quoted as saying ...... ''When I was 14 or 15, I was using a three-quarter-size violin and ready to finally switch to full-size''

연주만이 문제가 아니라....들리는 얘기로 저 연주가 급히 일정 맞추느라

그래서 지휘자를 자꾸 쳐다보는 건가요
흘끗흘끗 보는게 뭔가 귀여움
장영주씨라서 좋기도 하지만 어린천재의 연주를 좋아한다 정말 정직하거든
벌써 20여년 전 장영주님 연주를 듣던 날 잊을 수가 없네요 어렵사리 2층 A석 끝자리 1장 구해 혼자갔는데 감동받고 울었습니다. 다시 만나고 싶네요. ♡
곧 전국투어하던데요.. 예매해놓고 설렘가득합니다 ㅎㅎ
예술의 전당이시면 저랑 같은날 같은시간 같은 장소에 계셨던거 같아요.ㅎㅎ

Sarah Chang at only 11 years old gives perhaps the best ever performance by anyone of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto.

I was lucky enough to see this in person at Miami Beach New World Symphony - she was 13! - splendid

도데체 남의 연주에 그런걸 누루다니! 사라장 연주 정말 좋아요!
@@김영희-g7k8z 그렇죠!!!이런 천재가 또 언제 나올까 싶네요,
정신 나간 존재가 116 이나 있다는 사실이 소릉이죠.
요즈엔 클래식 시키는분들도많이없고 정말 천재 나오려면 돈도 많이 투자해야하고 해서 잘 나오질 않지요
너무나 감동 입니다 놀랍습니다
Menuhin was correct when he said, "Sarah Chang was the most wonderful, perfect, ideal violinist had ever heard"
Wholeheartedly agree with that statement.
Bought tickets to her concert playing Bruch Concerto next April (2018). Excited already.
I saw her play Bruch Concerto in London 2011, she was amazing.
How do you find out when and where she's playing? I've looked everywhere.
Tenemos la suerte y el privilegio de conocer y escuchar a esta increíble, estupenda y magnífica violinista, quien tiene el talento, pocas veces visto, para interpretar, con sentimiento, perfección en la ejecución, que podríamos decir, que ella representa lo excelso, cuando interpreta a los más famosos compositores, como: Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Sarasate, Vivaldi, J. S. Bach y a muchos más y, lo hace con seguridad y concentración, que te eleva el espíritu, al grado de llorar de emoción, gracias por haber nacido, gracias por aprovechar tu talento, gracias por alegrar este mundo, gracias Sarah Chang.
This cannot be taught its a god given talent
Very beautiful.very thanks❤
The ghost of Oistrakh. Such power!
너무 좋다...
Once Sarah starts playing she becomes a ''Child Woman'' and in her facial expressions quite a ''Little Madam'' at times with the faces she pulls as she is so deep into concentration !! At the end of the performance she becomes the delightful ''Child'' again !! Just an unbelievable performance for a fully grown up adult virtuoso to perform like this yet alone for a little girl like she was at the time.
형언할수없는 천재연주자 사라장♡♡♡
Wow, only 11 years old. A definition of prodigy!
I used to enjoyed the classical music through Vynal records, so I didn't know her much. Several years ago, going to bed, I turned on radio to listen to FM classical channel(listening and sleeping is my habbit) , the violin concerto was played. It was greater than any other I had ever listened. I didn't sleep to the end to find out that it was Sarah Chang.
Lately, I installed internet and connect it my AV system and just saw her playing last night untill 3am. Real prodigy!!!!
What is next? Maybe I will go to her concert to sea the grown up Sarah.
I am sorry that I didn't see her when she was young but so lucky to see her Here
Much better video and audio quality than the old ones. Thanks for uploading, Cha7534!
Incredible Sarah Chang,undying Tchaikovsky.
Amazing. Unbelievable. What other words can I use to describe her performance?
wow wow wow
everything perfect
just perfect ever
Also my favourite !! It is so wonderful and perfect that once I switch it on.........I am unable to turn it off until I have heard it in all its entirety !! I must have watched this and other videos of the young Sarah playing this over 100 times and NEVER tire of listening to it, complete magic ! Many say that her technique peaked around 15 years old, the present day Sarah bowing is not as textbook as when she was younger. Many say that Heifetz version of this Concerto is the best but I have listened to so many others and Sarah presses all my buttons as the best ever performance, Orchestra and conductor were also wonderful.
Absolutely sublime - I had to listen twice to Sarah Chang playing this - IMHO. the 'Ne plus ultra.' of concertos for violin.
She's right up there with Perlman she looks like she's 12 years old. A child prodigy.
Breathtaking.........
The last movement was amazing!!!!! The whole piece was very tuff and very fast, this piece was very difficult for a child. But sarah was amazing!!!!
천재 저어린 나이에 저런 연주 를 금세기 최고 의 처재 한국여인의 우수성 한국 인 의 긍지 자랑
A wonderful natural talent, Thankyou Miss Chang
@Brian Seals So nice to see such a comment as yours thanking Sarah Chang for this performance of so many years ago when Sarah was only 11 years old. I think this performance is quite wonderful and I adore the violinist Sarah Chang, seen her play live and met her twice in person.
My, she looks so serious in this eloquent performance. Thank you 'cha . . .'
2악장의 연주는 감동스럽네요. 정말 눈물샘을 자극한는 느낌입니다.
진짜 정석그자체다
She is the best violinist of her generation. No one comes close musically.
No puedo mas emocionarme de verla y oírla, Dios que privilegio
How is it that 26 people have down-voted this? What is there not to like!
Well done Sarah - beautiful moving, exciting rendition.
Everything to like and marvel at in this performance from the young Sarah Chang. What a miracle for a little girl of only 11 years old to be able to play as well as this !! Sarah never faltered or burnt out as many do and is still playing as well as ever now in her mid thirties.
Incredible perfect!
I'm still PROUD of YOU, Sarah! =)
Your recital awaits so much at the end of this year!
Just wooooooooooooooooooooooonderful
Grande esecuzione; brava Sarah. Tchaïkovski grande compositore.
Mine also. This is an incredible performance by the then 11 year old Sarah Chang !!
I still prefer her interpretation more than any others I've heard. So emotive, especially in the first movement!
And she played this performance without a single rehearsal
@@MissTalmo how???
@YisneySoto she's done concerts without rehearsals because they called her at the last minute
Mind blowing performance. A shame that the sound quality is so poor. Has anyone attempted to overlay this video with a cleaner audio source?
Simply a legend.
Wow..amazing..proud of you...superb...wowwwww
Best rendition of the piece

Lovely performance from the young Sarah isn't it !
Currently the most views on RUclips for this violin concerto is the version done by the amazing Japanese violinist Sayako Shoji, which when I just checked it had a massive 5,381,086 views. So many different Violinists have videos of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto on YT. So many to choose from and mostly all wonderful viewing and listening which everone you choose !!
My personal favorite, well its so hard to choose, for myself I love the way that Hyun Su Shin of South Korea plays the third movement so beautifully, for the whole Concerto its a joint first between the young Sarah and Sayako Shoji, so I would have to give my vote to Sarah Chang on the grounds that she was only 11 years old when she performed this Concert.
Unbelievable, unimaginable, unspeakable,... May God bless the pretty talent.
Teguh Aditanoyo I have just seen your comment placed a month ago, well I hope this information helps you. I cannot find out the actual makers name of her 1/4 size violin in this performance but have read that her mentor at Juilliard , the legendary Dorothy DeLay, gave Chang the three-quarter size violin which she found it in her attic, where it had been lying for 45 years.' When Sarah was 14 years old it was decided that she was old enough to move up to a full sized Violin and after trying out many with Isaac Stern, she chose the ex Isaac Stern full size 1717 Guarneri del Gesu . Sarah is quoted as saying ...... ''When I was 14 or 15, I was using a three-quarter-size violin and ready to finally switch to full-size''
so beautifully interpreted!
Entonces tenía apenas 15 años y desde mucho antes ya nos tenía asombrados. Bravoooooooo, Sarah, bravooooo!... así se toca, así se "baila"
