Thank you for posting this. In my opinion, Sarah Chang is the greatest all around player today. Setting technical issues aside,(and no one is any better in that department), her tone and expression are beyond words to describe. Nobody does it like her.
Two things: 1) This Violin Cto was on a list that I developed years ago. Forgotten, I rediscovered it only last week, and have begun to build my folder of musical loves! 2) I have adored Sarah Chang ever since I first heard her play Thais' Meditation. For these two precious treasures--the Brahms and the Chang--I thank you heartily.
Sarah really displays her entire sound spectrum well throughout this piece... From lucious to strong to heartbreaking.. Something we dont see in Sarah too often
Up there with Repin, Gil Shaham and her fellow Korean Chung Kyung Hwa. I don't compare them but see them as all adding a different dimesion to the Brahms concerto. All geniuses.
I've listened to a fair many performances of this concerto, with some performers grasping the depth this concerto can bring without reaching too far deep and into it, or getting so close that the required prodigal brilliance falls short. Of all there are, in my very humble opinion, just two that reign as the best with Perlman's (on youtube, 1978) and Chung's (youtube, 1996) setting the timeless benchmark. (Editors note: I think in order to call yourself a critic with a certain weighty basis and without credentials or research references, you have to self proclaim the "300" mark, that is having listened to a piece of the same artist, orchestra, or conductor (or any combo) at last 300 times to be an 'expert' on that single recording/performance; I can say that I have met that benchmark with those two mentioned above with my discovery of the concerto and having fallen immediately deeply in love.) Perlman makes only one technical error in the first movement however it doesn't say much when that first movement performance may be one of the single greatest performances of the last 100 years: it is sublime and total voces intimae perfection. His understanding of the heftiness Brahms emotion demands, alongside the drama coupled with the fireworks virtuosity is displayed as one cognitive and coherent single language. And only does Chung reach the same level of vitruosity with her undeniably open-heart performance; you have to give it to her, it's quite rare do you hear the soul of the violinist dancing with the instrument at the same time as much as she. Chang's performance of the piece is astonishingly contrast, with her dramatic wide fortissimo bowings grabbing every strings' vibration allowed, and liberal - and at times frank - use of rubato's voice, draw the crowd in for a showcase performance you truly have never heard. It's easy to get lost in this and you sometimes ask yourself how she - or her bow inself - can handle that much strength and pressure; it is immediately reminiscent of fellow child prodigy Leila Josefowicz. That is however not to be a negativism whereas she prevails with this much matured technique in the second movement; it is here where Chang and Brahms share a relationship and fill the hall with heart warming collaboration set over a century apart you paid $150.00 a ticket for. In the end it's hard to get passed the first movement's drama when the overall concerto is so masterfully painted as a whole, second only to Beethoven's. Bravo, Sarah, you've matured so lovely.
Agreed. I have no clue what that comment about American vs. Japanese playing style was about. Sarah Chang and I grew up in New Jersey. Brahms is from Germany, but guess what? You can be from Kenya or Malta or Korea or Qatar or the Seychelles and completely get it. Music is the thing that lacks nationality and links us together.
@@johnhunter8965 For many years I suffered from "Heifetzitis". I couldn't listen to anyone without Heifetz in my ears. I gradually learned to hear the truth in others' performances and now just listen and hear the good! Sarah Chang is an amazing violinist. I first heard a recording of her playing the Tchaikovsky at age 12! She had me from that moment on!
Sarah Chang is truly one of the violin greats of the 21st century.
기술적인것만 얘기하는 사람들은 이 영상을 들어봤으면한다 사라장의 이 연주는 감동과 재미 자기만의 스타일 세가지를 다 잡았다 우리시대 최고의 바이올리니스트중 하나이고 이미 대가라고 할수 있겠다
Why u copy top comment lol

그 말은 맞지만 정경화 교수님꺼 들어보세요.확실히 달라요
Lol I see your comments all over TH-cam 🤣🤣
I couldn't agree more. As Helene Grimed is to the Brahms' piano concertos, Sarah Chang is to the violin. Thank you.
I truly enjoy and feel the music when she plays it.
Absolutely fantastic and mesmerizing ❤😊
진짜 최고의 연주다.진짜.^^

She expressed firmly with sophistication: rare gem.
Majestuoso!!!
I always admire her positive attitude towards everything. Her music has a power to heal people's hearts. It is just so beautiful!

Self proclaimed expert😜
Sim mnuito bom
I want to see this video 😢😢
나라소리 studio recording :)
5:46 spot-on timing ;)
Man, did Brahms just rip off multiple Vieuxtemps concertos in this one?
Conductor Orchestra please
It should be conducted by Kurt Masur with Dresdner Philharmonie.
it doesn't make sense.what's the american style or Japan?
it is only own her playing performence
Agreed. I have no clue what that comment about American vs. Japanese playing style was about. Sarah Chang and I grew up in New Jersey. Brahms is from Germany, but guess what?

And, even, she is Korean.
@@zBeestBeest you knew her
She is korean
The bad thing about listening to Heifetz is that it renders every other violinist (except Kogan and Gitlis) almost irrelevant.
Not when it comes to Sarah Chang. And Heifetz, with all due respect, takes things at a tempo that sometimes borders on comical.
