My goodness Chloe has matured so much. The sound she produces is absolutely magical. She has to be among THE best violinists of her generation, if not the very best of them all!

Sg and SSO owed to Dr. Goh a great deal. Our mighty tough old guard, who has built many of SG institutions, from Defense, Econ, Culture, and Bird Park. And he was one strongly rejected the idea of letting Sentosa island to be another oil refinery. Dr Goh was its founding patron from 1979 and was acknowledged as such till 2011, a year after his death in 2010. In a 1980 interview with The Straits Times on the occasion of the orchestra's first birthday, Dr Goh said: "We are not the Philistines that our economic and material success might lead people to believe we are. We believe that there's more to life than making money and that the orchestra would be worthwhile as it would raise the standard of culture of Singaporeans."

Yesterday (July 26), The Violin Channel published a very interesting interview with Chloe, in which she announced that she has enrolled on a BA at the Hanns Eisler music school in Berlin, starting in October, where she will study violin with Kolja Blacher. I think that Berlin will soon feel like a home from home (in Chloe's beloved Singapore), and that she will have a wonderful time there. I wish her the very best of luck as she begins this new chapter in her life!

I've been watching Chloe since her Menuhin Tie-Win with Christian Li and always wondered if she would complete a Chinese piece... I guess she answered that! An amazing lady - bravo Ms. Chua!

Wonderful! Sounds SO good. Perfectly played and who ever mixed the sound did a masterful job, you can hear everything so clearly, Jin Ta is awesome! Chloe Chua is still Ling Ling.

I'm proud to be a supporter of the SSO. Way to go, Ling Ling. Superb as always.

I've been playing the violin for many years, but I never knew the violin could sound like that. Chloe is absolutely amazing!

Gosh! Her sound quality just hit the soul of the piece and mine from the first note on. Absolutely brilliant.

Chloe and the SSO; marvelous and superb, as expected!🦋💫

Chloe Chua will be starting her Bachelor’s degree in Hanns Eisler this October and will be learning violin from Mr. Kolja Blacher.

Classical music is in safe hands because of you Chloe!

Beautiful piece and marvellous violin playing ! Thanks for sharing this marvel !

I have played this piece, and it's wonderful. The secret to its performance (which Chloe nailed) is that it was originally written for western instruments that would try to capture the spirit of Chinese instruments (in her case, the Erhu.) The piece was banned during the Cultural Revolution, and later was revived, but on traditional Chinese instruments: the opening flute is done on the Dizi, the oboe on the Guan. (Only the Cellos were kept- China has no equivalent.) This piece comes full circle with the violin trying to sound like an erhu, trying to sound like a violin! Very difficult to do, but from the snippet here, she pulled it off. Brava, young lady. ..Joe Sidebar- my violin instructor (and principal violist of the Savannah Symphony Orchestra) is from Beijing, and went to the Beijing Central Conservatory. I sent him the preview video for this, and he recognized about 6-8 members of the SSO that were former classmates of his. 🙂

My source? my good friend who was born and raised in Beijing, who went to the Beijing Central Conservatory, and whose mother was the first woman in history to play viola with the National Symphony. Of course, I'm sure you're going to state that Chinese professional musicians of the era don't know as much as you, so go right ahead. ..Joe

The sound colour she makes is reminiscent of the erhu, if I am correct - either way, it's beautiful and haunting.

If anyone wants to watch a stunning version of the whole concerto, go to the video below. It's from the 2013 Hsinchu Music Festival in Taiwan with the youth orchestra, and the soloist is the head of the Erhu department at the Beijing Central Conservatory. One of the best renditions of this concerto I have ever seen. ..Joe kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqlputGhhbWZgMo.htmlsi=erGLC22ePuFvxAd2

Indeed, 孫凰's rendition of the piece using the Erhu is pretty much the benchmark for which all 梁祝 performances using the Erhu must be compared against. Its never fails to leave with me with wet eyes, even after a decade of listening to it. If you know the backstory of the fable, her performance just churns out all the emotions from it. On the Erhu, I have not yet come across another that has matched or surpassed that performance. I would rate it in the same stratosphere as Jacqueline du Pre's legendary Elgar recording with John Barbirolli.
