She’s the real thing. A tremendous artist- who gives her all to every performance.

64살에 이렇게 힘 있는 연주를 보여주는 사람은 별로 없다. 아직도 이런 좋은 음악을 들을 수 있어서 행복하다.

사십여년 전, 이화여대 강당서 정트리오 연주를보고 세 분께 싸인도 받은 열성팬였는데 요즘엔 덕후라고 하지요.세월이 흘러 이렇게 귀한 연주를 보고싶고 듣고싶을 때 영상으로 볼 수있다니 그저 너무나 행복하네요.

"Mistakes she made" ... really ??? Instead of paying attention to her "mistakes", I pay attention to her superb technique, musicianship and passion ! She is playing better than ever ! About mistakes ... even if she makes some, who is perfect ?

Yes, I agree with you. She was 62 years old in 2012? Her passion to music is beyond description.

A senior citizen showing the kids that the body is older, but the spirit is still strong. Go girl !! There are some rough spots, but the fire is still in the belly. I watch the young horses when a cool breeze comes up and they start dancing. The retired horses remember their youth and come out and dance with them. I smiled through this. I'm two years older than she.

브루흐 연주에 그 누구도 따라갈 수 없는 거장 정경화선생님 자랑스럽습니다♡♡♡^^

I remember hearing her play this in Carnegie Hall with Pittsburgh and Steinberg right after she won the Leventritt, and it was truly electrifing. From that moment she became one of my very favorite violinists.

Plays with all the skill and artistry she did thirty five years ago. Nothing has changed. Only her repertoire has increased over the years.

I think so!

She is my very favorite! She plays with feeling and with great passion. When I play, I try to play with passion for the music otherwise it is not worth playing at all.

I love the way she moves... She's feeling the music. Despite whatever slight imperfections, there's great emotional expression here and moments when her tones simply so​ars. The orchestra is playing their hearts out for her-more than if this was just an ordinary concert. She has contributed so much to music over her distinguished and celebrated career.

In five words I say: very very very very beautiful.

She gave me goosebumps! Her passion is so inspiring!

아..... 정말 정경화 선생님 연주는 감동 그 이상입니다. 항상 건강하세요!!!

For tone and phrasing, I haven't heard any violinist play the Scottish Fantasia as well as KWC. Nor the Franck Sonata with Lupu. Truly capturing the spirit of the composition.

Fantastic, heard no one and have listened to many try to play this piece, and none have succeeded until this Lady, Bravo Bravo Bravo

In tears. Lovely. unlike so many modern violinists you know music comes first with this artist.

So happy this masterpiece in phenomenal Kyung-Wha Chung's perfomence was in the list of "recommended" today, when it is raining outside, when nature is "crying".

It is true that she is not like what she used to be because she suffered a finger injury which prevented her from playing. It is amazing that she can even play. Great musicians like her experience great difficulties in Li. They are only human. Please respect them.for what they have accomplished and brought great music making to all of us. Are we going to judge them by one period of their life where they experienced difficulties? Horowitz suffered from depression and did not play up to his usual standard as some of you would like to call it. Andrei Gavrilov, the Russian pianist suffered from depression too and people said the same thing about him. He is not the same. As an audience, we are not perfect. Why should we expect these musicians to be perfect?

Thank you so much for posting this! How wonderful to see Kyung Wha Chung performing again, and still playing straight from the heart ... utterly beautiful!

제가 알기에 클래식은 모두가 대중적으로 좋아할수 있는 음악입니다! 저희 어머님도 바이올린 켜는 모습이 멋지고 소리가 아름답다고 정경화 교수님 연주를 좋아하셨습니다!

I fell in love with Kyung Wha Chung’s Scottish Fantasy because the passion and tenderness in her playing, particularly the third movement. I had her recording but always wanted to see her playing this piece. I am overjoyed to find this video.

What makes this special is that both she and her brother love Scotland. It shows here.

Chung is my favorite violinist - in my opinion only Heifetz and Oistrakh are in the same league. She combines ardor and control in everything she does.

so beautiful again that the music actually touches me physically again! I was watching the DVD, Violin Masters: Two Gentlemen of Cremona, Vadim Repin said the sound that the best of best instruments and violinists produce can actually be touched physically, that explains why everytime i listen to Ms.Chung play, i will have goosepumps on my arms. Hopefully next year her upcoming tour will go smoothly, love to see her at Carnegie Hall.

Holy crap that sound is amazing.

I'm just loving to see Ms Chung loving every moment of music making.

Robby asked who's perfect? HEIFETZ ... that's who. Find his recording of this and you'll know what magnificent perfection is! This was one of his favorite pieces and with Heifetz playing, it's one of mine too!😊

It's so heavenly.....I am proud of Chung trios:)

A gorgeous performance. Bravo!

경화님의 연주는 절제됨이 느껴져서 그게 바로 감동으로 이어집니다.교만할수도 있는데 그걸 최대한 절제 하시는 아름다움!그래서 감동이 더 커지는 것 같습니다.그런데, 요즘의 경화님 연주는약간 강렬 해져서 이 또한 눈물나게 감동입니다 연세에 딱 어울리는 자기 표출로 보여져서요.아마 살이온 인생도 그랬으리라 느껴지면서 가슴 벅차 오는게 있더라구요.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I love her ability to focus, regardless of how difficult and exhausting a run may be!

Everyone looks so happy at the end!

Mesmerized! I can't tear myself away from this performance.

Listen to the pause between her notes. You can sense the magnetism connecting the notes.

The harpist is superb.

she is a Queen of violin bravo !

Es la interpretación que me ha gustado más de esta obra

Brilliant brother(conductor) and sister performance.

Wonderful violinist with her younger brother conducting.

Bruch must've poured his heart and soul onto this!

maravillosa mujer , y lo que toca en el video es una magnifica obra bellamente interpretada

No matter what... Kyung Wha Chung played with great emotion and conviction lacking in today's violin playing.

Simply superb!

Everyone is smiling when ominous forbodings fill the air as they begin to play.

Circa 6:35 when she changes from ff to subito piano in one bow, that is just awesome. I'd say KWC still rocks at... oh well I shouldn't reveal a lady's age, should I?

Wow, don't go mad at me, I'm saying this because I know her as a violinist with no mistakes, check out her bartok violin concerto no.2 for instance. Such impossible concerto she nails it perfectly. As for the musicianship I don't question, and that's what makes her ony of my favourite violinists

한국않은 정경화의 연주 세계의자랑 입니다

Horowitz, Gavrilov battled depression and took time away from playing. Be kind to those who had mental and or physical problems. The human race is not perfect. Never will be. It does not matter how Heifetz played. What is perfection anyways? By the way, Heifetz played the Mendelsihnn Concerto too fast. It is like a car race.

Chords... tenths... arpeggios and the like. Yes. Everything.

Ah, thats where I disagree. For me, polished playing does not equal to better musicianship. Playing in tune is necessary for a musical performance but more than that is required, such as dynamism and phrasing. When I listen to her tone, I hear great variations in pressure and more dynamic extremes than average but certainly not just "a bunch of scratches", Her vibrato has always been a favorite of mine, slightly more narrow and rapid but never obtrusive. To each his own I guess :)

thx giving|_-

I prefer her not-so-polished playing to that of say Hilary Hahn or Jascha Heifetz, who might be greater equipped technicians but are unable to match Kyung- Wha Chung in musicality, that elusive quality. With such an exciting and passionate interpretation, I am willing to forgo those intonation slips (no one is denying them) as such depth of emotion is a rarity while performances with "perfect" intonation can be heard virtually everywhere. I'm always amazed by her wide range of tonal variation.

violinmusicfan Interesting comments. I agree with you that Heifetz does not play every piece better than others. I like all of them...Sarah Chang, Ray Chen, Kyung Wha Chung, Szymon Goldberg, Josef Hassid, Kreisler, Menuhin, Milstein, Ginette Neveu, David Oistrakh, Michael Rabin, Issac Stern and others that I did not intentionally omit. All of them have different styles. Makes it interesting.

The Guarnerius doesn't need such heavy strings; the G string sounds like a monster to me.

I have been a fan of hers for many years but here, right from the beginning the intonatiom is not spot on. I wish she has been able to regain the effortless style of playing that she was able to combine with noble interpretations.

Thanks for the sincerity, apparently everybody is not allowing to criticize this performance in the comment section. Also she tends to be aggressive on the instrument and doesn't let it breathe. I mean the 4th movement is almost difficult to listen to... It' s a pity I loved her Walton violin concerto when young but she didn't really get back in shape ever. Also not a fun of the orchestral mood achieved by his brother, kind of very dark and passionate, I think this piece should not feel like a tragedy but like a very melanchonic and somewhat playful.

younger brother is more polite

Some issues in tempo and accuracy

and oistrakh :)

Didn't she used to be more accurate with intonation in her earlier years? I listen to recordings and don't remember all the slips that I hear with this.

Yes, but she had a nearly career ending finger injury in 2005 that took her years to recover from. I don't think her technique has been quite as sharp since then, but it's amazing she came back to this level at all.
