Although one can hear that Chloe's technique at this stage is still developing, her performance of the Bach is sublime.
The Adagio ma non tanto is so beautifully nuanced and moving, and the Allegro is so vigorous.
Such musicality is truly amazing.
(The piano accompaniment is wonderful too.)
I love how she progressively develops the colors in the longer notes. That is something I don't often hear. A lot of violinists have great technical skills that can impress but they just aren't that enjoyable to listen to. I can listen to Chloe all day long.
Yes! Chloe has a big heart and she nurtures the longer notes with great delicacy and tenderness.
when GOD plays u can listen lifetimes...
because shes also listening
No words....she's one in a billion.
The little facial expressions she makes are so precious, especially in that slow opening movement. She loves that sound. And whoever thinks that Bach is somehow so mathematical that he can’t be emotional should listen to these violin-keyboard sonatas.
She has very good teachers indeed. You can make screenshot from every frame of the video and all is pure beauty and top level violin playing skills. And she choses very interesting and very difficult music. She plays so sensitive way like she is connected somewhere to the parallel universe. Probably she is. She knows what Bach, Wieniawski and Svendsen wanted to say us and she server the authors and the music only. She is generous and not selfish at all. The competition is maybe important, but the music is much more important. Respect.
Wonder who her teachers are.
@@168vfk She is taught by Yin Ke at the Nanyang Academy. They are pictured together here after she had won the 2017 Andrea Postacchini International Violin Competition:

Her mother, who is a piano teacher, has also been heavily involved in the development of her musical understanding and interpretations.
She is connected to God, playing sublimely.
@@168vfk Chloe's violin teacher since 2012 is Mr Yin Ke, Strings Program Leader at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, School of Young Talent. Currently, Chloe is the Singapore Orchestra's youngest Artist-in-Residence for the 2022/2023 season. As part of her residency, she will complete several Mozart violin works with the orchestra for an album release that is slated for 2023. (Source: ruclips.net/video/TU5I-xErLFk/видео.html)
@@168vfk Wonder how she teaches her teachers:D
Social medias have opened the door to the immense talent that can be found in young prodigies. But every so few often come a young beautiful human that can that can pluck the most deep chord of any music lover. Chloe is that rare beauty and it is not surprising she won joint first prize with Christian Li. She reminds me of Sarah Chang at same age and that is a huge compliment. I would be a blessed human if I only had one tenth of her talent. God bless her life.
I find it hard to comprehend how someone so young can possess so much talent.
2:05 ... Such emotional intensity. This will tug at your heartstrings.
After this entirely brilliant performance, she moves the stand back at the end! No prima donna, just keeping things in order for the next contestant. Gotta love that.
Previously I thought you needed to reach a certain age and level of life experiences to play with so much emotion and expression. Listening to Chloe Chua, I have revised those notions, although I still can't fathom the origin of those powers in an 11-year-old child. She is divine.
You make a good point and raise a good question.
The answer, I think, goes something like this.
The (very profound) emotions that Chloe expresses are literally in the music as written.
Supreme musicality - that gift with which she and other musical geniuses are blessed - is just an ability to properly understand music, and so to hear the emotion and other such meanings within it.
Thus viewed, Chloe's magnificent performances are akin to the teenage mastery with which e.g. Carlsen understands a position in chess or Ramanujan a connect between different branches of mathematics.
In each case, the "meanings" are just there, and the genius of a prodigy is a precocious ability to detect them.
Magnificent soul, flamboyant violin. There is much more dignity and sensitivity in the violin of Chloe Chua than into the most part of professional adults playing ! It is not a fortuity if she won, along with Christian Li, the first prize of the Menuhin contest ! Authenticity belongs to precocious children, and no more to adults in our sad occidental societies ! Then i remarked that the best prodigies are coming from far Asia or from wide Russia, and no more from Europe ! Also Christian Li, though he was born in Melbourne is obviously an Asian boy !
What else, absolute grace everywhere ... little crumbs sometimes, but as any adult do, and beyond the crowd of so called masters of our current time, she is Authentic, truly beautiful !!! You know what ? The pure inner being prevails over the work ! The soul before the art !
most wonderful words on YT !!! this girls plays with soul .. like god shining thru her... the way she connects in the final with the orchestra ... best thing i ever watched...
I share your feelings, thank you for writing this.
Amazing...A real musician, not just a robot like so many gifted kids...She may like a center mount chinrest better :-)
I noticed it as well :D
hdckdsadd that’s the r slur??
I agree. Try fitting center chinrest on her violin.
lol
👍🏻
this little girl is why it is so important that we should take care of all children and the talents they have, in one way or another...
This -mostly of the time and in the time- ugly world needs that kind of talents to survive as a human person and in the memory of time .Music and sound have always been the beginning of communication,
and that is how civilization started and good players will survive, above time !
Chloe, your violin playing is the most beautiful of any violinist I have ever heard. Unmatched by even seasoned professionals, you have musical genius like that of the best composers and musicians of all time. Only God knows how you honor Him with your beautiful playing. Please keep performing and recording, it is so sublime!!
Yes, Amen to your wonderful Blessing that you bestow on all of us, Miss Chloe. You are so lovely and precious.
Maybe that is the reason why there is about 1M kids dying in Africa each year of hunger? They dont have anything to honor your god and him starves them as a revenge? Stop slapping religion on everything. She is there because she was born with the privilege to have an educated family who can afford a violin, se is very talented and have an inmense discipline. Your god has nothing to do with anything.
@crescerdesigns. Don’t blame God for mankind’s sin. Africa is a land full with corruption, violence, racism among tribes and a blatant disregard for human’s life even animal’s.
These Videos of Chloe playing the Violin gives me so much motivation to practice 🙂
no need a commend! she is from another planet!!!
I'm happy to correct you,
she's from 🌏❗
She is my fave!
this is absolutely fine art. I wish the person who told me he loves violin solo will come across this music - yes....it's so beautiful that it is deeply moving. this is So beautiful. What a gift. Inspiring effort in practicing and dedication...behind the gift of talent. So inspiring.
Me hipnotiza, desde que la vi ganar en el concurso. Escucho todo lo que más puedo desde Chile un billón de felicitaciones.
Quelle musicalité, un moment hors du temps...
Beautiful playing !!
The Bach is gorgeous, with violin and piano perfectly in synch
I agree. Chloe's performances in the semi final and, especially, the final, are highly acclaimed , but this very beautifully phrased performance of Bach doesn't get anything like the attention it deserves
9:35 Chloe's shoulders slump when she thinks no one is going to clap.
Painful.
What a difference 10 days makes!
Su mano derecha, , y todos los acentos y los secretos memorial es... Único!!
WOW !! I love her !!!! ♡
me too 😊
Chloe adorei as tuas interpretações.Es uma estrela, com muito talento.
like this slower tempo on the H. Wieniawski Etude-Caprice Op. 18, No. 2
Yes! More generally, while I love the way Chloe communicates with the other instrumentalists when she is accompanied, her performances of solo works, which seem more introspective, are profoundly moving.
If you haven't seen it, her solo performance of (most of) Wieniawski's Variations on an Original Theme a few months after this has a similarly measured tempo and is I think even better.
ruclips.net/video/KFLYNubrCho/видео.html
Her solo performance of Telemann's Fantasia #10 in the first round of the 2017 Zhuhai competition is also wonderful. ruclips.net/video/zJF_PmVOucY/видео.html
In her recent "20 questions" interview at the Singapore Symphony Orchestra channel she said that the hardest piece she had ever tried to learn was a Bach sonata for solo violin. I hope she gets to perform the work soon. Judging by her performances of Telemann and Wieniawski, her solo Bach would be especially remarkable.
Amazing play, emotionally captivating, I love her!
(But why is her bow wound so tightly? The hair and wood is literally parallel!!! )
???????? !!!!!
To produce a strong sound with less effort
She probably likes it wound that tightly ;) I think that a bow on the tighter side may be more difficult in some ways, but allows a wider range of effects with skill.
Well, I suppose it has something to do with the small bow and violin size.
She needs strong sound from short bow and tiny violin so it makes perfect sense.
There are a couple of trippin’ but still great performance. I just like the sound of Chloe’s violin and the way she commands the scores. Lovin’ it🤟🏼
chloeちゃん大好きです
Bravo! Beautiful!

OMG 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩😍😍👍👍👍
El arco, ella y el alma, en paralelo.
Piano is great
Agree.
The true Ling Ling
so hardddddd👀🔥
Is that a new fiddle she's playing on? It sounds like it. However, she sounds amazing.
It is the1884 Vincenzo Postiglione (small full size) that she had been loaned a couple of months earlier.
(She continued to perform with it for the next 30 months, whereupon she switched to the Guarneri (Peter of Venice, 1729) that she used for the first time in her miraculous performance of Mozart's violin concerto #2 with the SSO in October 2020.)
@jack burgess2 Thanks for the info. 🙂 It may be the smaller size contributing to the sound, idk. I can hear the difference in the fullness of the sound coming from the Guarneri she's performing on now in comparison to the fiddle she has here. I don't like the sound of it. Just my opinion.
@@jewelryboxballerina
There is no doubt that the Guarneri was a big upgrade and that Chloe extracted from it a tone that is much richer. (The valuation of the Guarneri is about 10x more!)
That said, I think the tonal quality here is limited in part by the audio (which I think is mono) and in part by the very limited vibrato with which Chloe approaches the Bach (which I suspect you are focusing upon). I think too that in the Bach Chloe was a bit nervous. Even in the next piece, the Wieniawski, the tone is less thin.
In other performances with this violin -- beginning with the Menuhin performances a few days after this one, especially the final - the tone is much warmer, and in some instances very beautiful. By the time of the Mendelssohn concerto at the Atlanta Festival 18 months later it is gorgeous (if still not at the level of the Guarneri).
seems almost impossible an 11 year old can do this, what were the tunes?

Freestyle improvisation
@@63rdwho
Thank you kindly!!
Question about the accompanist: is there one accompanist for all the competitors, or does each competitor have his/her own accompanist? I'm wondering because you should always practice with your accompanist, right? Anyone know the answer? Thanks!
If you mean specifically this competition, then yes, the rules in 2018 allowed you to bring your accompanist, but there were some limitations IIRC (this info i read on their site). The pianist you see in this video is one of several, who accompanied several competitors.
EDIT. Take a look at the Senior Division. Three violinists from that group performed with their personal pianists. Two of them reached the final.
kai vaon Okay! Thank you very much!
Yes indeed Kai Vaon, thank you.
No Automatic de Intelligent but realy pure!
👏👏👏👏👏👏😉😉👍👍
演奏出這一，有點聽起來，深奧的音樂表現。。。
how does she play without needing any scores ?
memorize. the more you play the piece it will be easier to memorize
GOD doesnt need to memorize it he wrote it himself...
She practices 50 years in a day
Because she is Ling Ling.
Could someone explain why did she move the stand at the end if the last bit is improvisation? I'm a bit confused.
The improvisation was on a theme that the Competition organisers had set out as sheet music on the stand.
To perform it, Chloe moved the stand to centre stage, close to the microphone.
After playing the theme, Chloe improvised upon it.
Afterwards, having removed the sheet music Chloe returned the stand to its original position out of courtesy to the next competitor.
(Although a different theme would be put on the stand for the next competitor to play and then improvise upon, unless he or she were to _begin_ the recital with the improvisation - which I think none of them chose to - the stand would be in the way and would have to be moved off centre-stage before he or she could begin.)
Danza Hugara Cloe Chou
19:35 it sounds like tjose songs of ghost houses in Super mario 3d land
半个小时光背谱子就要多久！！！！
Her violin has 4 fine tuners.
H. Wieniawski Etude-Caprice Op. 18, No. 2 like some game bgm 😅😅
She was 10 here? I think I wasn't potty trained till 6 so with that in mind......
Actually, she was 11 and three months. But yes, this performance, and her subsequent performances in the semi-final and final (which are even better by quite a distance) are amazing.
@@jackburgess8579 Wait do you know when her birthday is? Also hi, I have talked to you on another comment in the Junior Finals video lol
@@ilan9588 Chloe was born on 7 January 2007. (This information was publicised by the Menuhin Competition on Facebook.)
I remember - "Winter"!
@@ilan9588 Sorry. I should have said that I am always happy to talk about Chloe.
@@jackburgess8579
Oh nice, so she just turned 14!
And you seem like a huge fan! (I am too, obviously)
At first I thought you knew her or something because I couldn't find her birthdate anywhere.
And yes, Winter! 😅
Was the last piece with score competing on sight reading?
I was puzzled too and checked the competition rules to find out. It doesn't have to do with sight reading. Rather, the sheet music provides a theme over "a few bars" on which the candidate has to improvise!
@@jackburgess8579 Thank you! Yes, yes, should be for such high level competition.
I love you baby girl.
26:26 - 26:30
the only mistake she made during the whole competition. At least I didn't registered any other mistake.
8:55-8:58 what a brilliant save :) Did you even noticed that ?
Pretty sure I heard one at 1:53, though my ears may be tricking me? lol really though, she's amazing!
🙊
Who honestly cares about mistakes when the musicianship is so beautiful??
That was during an improvised section, so maybe that cannot be considered a mistake, just an improvisation you don’t like! 😀
