If you listen to her recital pieces, it is really quite outstanding. She really is one to watch in the future. In this competition, I think she just lacked a little strategy when playing concerto with a full orchestra. It requires broader scaling and a different approach to projecting sound and playing with other people. If I was the conductor, I would have a very difficult time trying to accompany her. It could be that maybe her concerto experience is not as extensive yet? Regardless, if I was to buy a concert ticket out of all contestants, I would buy a ticket to Hana’s recital.

I think she's good but she really needs to fix her posture to move forward. Something very distracting on her slouching and looking downwards, like a lack of confidence.

She is so good.... all the haters here are just jealous.... she is not overly gimmicky nor has exaggerated mannerisms

A very personal and sweet performance. Like a love letter. I disagree with the one who said she’s trying too hard to be gimmicky. Her passion is clearly genuine. In an interview Hana said she likes to tell stories through her playing rather than show off. Bravo!!

Her posture is too low and slouching. Look at Maria Duenas, Alena Baeva, or Clara Jumi Kang, that's how you should stand

Her violin is pointing to the ground all the time , looks lazy. She should be upright. Lack of fundamentals .

Her violin and music is like a storyteller with a very fascinating sonority!

Love your playing like story telling. I first get to know you through this competition. It must be a tough time there because of people around as well. But just play and tell us your story. Your sound at least reached to me and was persuasive to me. Hopefully you keep doing what you are doing now. Hope to see you at more concerts.

Hana makes me listen to her carefully and in the end cry…. A perfect storyteller with a violin^^

such as mesmerizing performance to listen to her.❤❤

Such a free head, sunch a sweet and powerfull sound when needed. And allways in connexion with the conductor and the orchestra. One of the very best finalists ! I hope THE BEST !

love her tone color changes

Great performance! Good luck on the competition ❤

The most interesting musician of this competition ❤

i adore your playing ❤

Beautiful job❤

It seemed to me that the conductor was trying to push a faster tempo than the violinist's. Despite that, she played incredibly well and I applaud her for that. She performs with many colors of tone and expressions, truly becoming one with the music when she plays. I'm glad to have discovered her through this competition! It would have been even better if they had kept a steady tempo that matched her pace.

She definitely deserves top 6

Beautyful performance. Thanks!

Bravo♥️

Magnifique 🎉

Absolutely stunning performance!

Beutiful..

What a beautiful performance! Such a captivating way of playing!

❤️❤️❤️

She reminds me of the young Kyung-Wha Chung back in the days. Bravo!

❤❤❤❤❤❤

It feels to me most inspired by Midori's brilliant performance with Abbado in Berlin (and yet of course being her own voice and approach to the music).

Omg midori goto also came into my head when I listened to hana chang play Tchaikovsky❤

She ended in the last 6 of the finalists. I can live with that.

A great artist. Hope she ends up quite high tonight when the results come through...

🎉🎉🎉

Does anyone know if she has Korean heritage? Either way, amazing, poetic Tchaikovsky performance!

@danny_chestnut253 her name is not japanese nor Singaporean, it sounds Korean, that's why I was asking if she had Korean heritage. Also, Elli Choi is Korean American.

​@jenvogue5005 Chang is originally a Chinese surname so it's probably from her Singaporean father. And Hana is a Japanese name

@markzuckerberg5231 thanks, but it's also a Korean name, more common in Korean than in Japanese

3:13; зачем так?

We need sweetness so much....

So personal!Stylish. Superlush'capricious .I am utterly beguiled. Every phrase each note different. Everyone raves about Elman'Szigeti'Zimbalist. Only Heifetz is unsurpassed. Oistrakh and that other Kogan. Today's virtuodi are better trained and hsbr better TASTE!

A bit too much manierism for my taste, but otherwise really good. Don't know if it will be appreciated by the jury (and I don't care much).

Kind of agree with you, she is trying so hard to be flexible and spontaneously acting enjoying the music but deep inside, she is working so hard to be.

It's not a cliché but often, it's the Asian candidates who are in the semi-finals or finals

It should be more fluid..

Not really a fan of her gimmicky and mannered playing - looks like she's trying too hard to be unique and individualistic.......

i see what you could be referring to, although i actually kinda of like it. some of her phrasing choices are ones i havent heard before and i appreciate it. not sure if it was the safest route in the finals but i can say her performance is memorable!

I can also see what you mean, however I have followed almost all her performances on KZread, and I would say I personally find her approach outstanding in 90% of her performances. I agree it is maybe not so successful here, I also felt the same way about her Paganini 24 however it doesn’t appear gimmicky to me personally, just different. My personal favourite performance of hers is Tchaikovsky Valse-Scherzo, it’s on KZread and I think her approach really suits the piece. On the whole I am definitely a fan so I’m maybe biased but only because I like her previous interpretations.

Thats exactly the point of diferent musicians playing the same music... If you intend to play the tchaikovsky vc melodies like oistraj I can just hear him right? And good luck doing It better haha

When you're more worried about looks and mannerisms instead of the music than you've truly lost the plot lol

Tired of listening to violinists who lack depth and richness in sound…and they’re finalists in international competitions…. Same type of (no) sound made up with mannerisms….it’s maddening…and applies to everyone. Missing the golden era.
