In ancient China, girls were not allowed to go to schools. One girl disguised herself as a boy and went to a school. She fell in love with a boy in the school, but the boy didn't know she was a girl. When he finally realized she was a girl, the girl had already been engaged with a man chosen by her parents. She didn't love that man and fought to refuse this marriage, but she was forced to accept this arrangement. The boy was so sad that he died as a result. On her wedding day, the girl went to the boy's tomb and the tomb caved in. She jumped in the tomb. Then, a pair of butterflies flew out of the tomb.

The name of this piece is: "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", which describes a love story. In ancient China, women were not allowed to go to school for education. And a beautiful girl, her name is Zhu Yingtai. She wanted to go to school very much, so she persuaded her parents to allow her to pretend to be a man. She looked like a boy, and began to go to a distant school to receive education. In school, she met a young classmate named Liang Shanbo. The two were very friendly and became brothers. But the boy didn't know that she was a girl. The study task was over, and each had to return to their hometown. Liang Shanbo sent her home and walked eighteen miles with her home, reluctant to separate. After the separation, the boy’s teacher’s wife told him that Zhu Yingtai was a girl and asked her to be a matchmaker before leaving school so that the two of them could become husband and wife. After Liang Shanbo learned from his teacher's wife that Zhu Yingtai was a girl, he was overjoyed and immediately arranged for a matchmaker to propose to Zhu Yingtai's house. However, Zhu Yingtai has been betrothed by her parents to the child of a wealthy family. That is a bad boy. Zhu Yingtai disagrees very much, but her parents keep her at home and prevent her from going out. She has no choice. Because of this incident, Liang Shanbo returned home and became seriously ill once, and then died. After Zhu Yingtai found out, she was extremely sad and asked her parents to pass by Liang Shanbo's tomb and worship Liang Shanbo on the day she was sent to marry. Her parents agreed to her request. When Zhu Yingtai paid homage to Liang Shanbo, she planned to bump her head on the tombstone. At this time, there was a thunder and lightning in the sky, and it rained heavily. Liang Shanbo’s tomb blasted a hole, and Zhu Yingtai entered In the tomb, the hole is closed. After the rain passed and the sky cleared, their souls became a pair of butterflies flying out of the grave, dancing on the grassland full of flowers, and finally became permanent lovers.

[@SKY-gm6we]

这位韩国小提琴家的演奏，琴声优美，感情表达准确深刻，琴艺高超。 对比中外的各种版本，我认为至今还没有能超过她的。 梁祝的故事是中国的，属中国文化，但是它一经形成乐曲，就是世界通用的，和演奏家的国别没太大关系。这就像中国人可以得肖邦钢琴奖的第一名一样。 由钢琴來协奏当然比不上由交响乐团来协奏的效果好，但这更能彰显小提琴的功力。如果把相同的钢琴协奏版拿来比较，就更容易看出高下。 长江后浪推前浪，新人会不停地脱颖而出，不会一百年内无人能超过现在的名家。

[@HeifetzMusic]

Translation: "The performance of the Korean violinist, the piano is beautiful, the expression of emotion is accurate and profound, and the piano is superb. Compared with the various versions of China and foreign countries, I think that it has not yet surpassed her. The story of Liang Zhu is Chinese and belongs to Chinese culture, but once it is formed, it is universal in the world and has little to do with the country of the performer. This is like the Chinese who can get the first place in the Chopin Piano Awards. Concerting by the piano is certainly not as good as the concerto by the symphony orchestra, but it also shows the power of the violin. If you compare the same piano concerto version, it is easier to see the height. After the waves of the Yangtze River push the waves, the newcomers will stand out from the crowd and will not be able to surpass the current masters in a hundred years.

The love story was more interesting, beautiful yet heartbreaking though... " When her father told her to come back home, she tried to tell the guy that she is a woman, but the guy did not understand at all from her hints... So she lied to him that she has a pretty sister back at home when in fact, she is the only daughter in her family. She wished he could visit her home sometime..and perhaps asked her sister's hand for marriage... Thus he could see her in woman's clothing and realised that she is a woman after all... So after the school term finished, he went and visited her home only to find that she was betrothed to other man... Her parents disapproved of his wedding proposal. He went back to his home...heartbroken and grief left him sick and bedridden... The girl still hoped to see her lover and refused to get married, locked up in her room until her wedding day. Her mother paid the guy a visit hoping him to write her a letter to give up of their love. But the sick guy was to sick and heartbroken, he couldn't write a single letter and vomitted blood on the letter and died.The mother brought home the letter for. And the next day the wedding ceremony proceeded... Everybody thought it went as planned but when the wedding procession passed the guy's grave... She ran towards his tomb to pay respect. Suddenly a heavy rain fell and the tomb collapsed taking her down into the tomb... A while later when the rain stopped... Two butterflies can be seen flying hand in hand... -the end - 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Unfortunately Ms. Song did not tell the whole story of the butterfly lovers, at 3:59 the boy found out the guy is actually a girl, when the boy's family went to propose a marriage, the girl's family has already promised another marriage with a rice family and there would be no way to reverse the decision; that's why that is the saddest section. 4:18, the boy was greatly hit and so depressed that he refused to eat and drink and finally died, 4:28 the girl escaped when she was on the way to her husband's house before her wedding to get to the boy's tomb under a storm like the nature was crying for her unfortunate life. The butterfly lovers is the second story of a fairy tale "lovers for seven reincarnation" that all stories had a tragic end except the last one because it was actually a punishment against two fairies who fall in love in heaven which is prohibited.

[@Redogful]

不要忘記，本曲原產地是中國，沒有中國文化元素無法演繹本曲的精髓。

[@collinwu2978]

Redogful的觀點是對的，Hefetz在演奏前向美國聽眾介紹故事情節時，關健處不能理解中國儒家教條對男女關系的約束，對于疏于對中國文化基本思想了解的美國聽眾來說，必然引出哄堂大笑。她對故事情節的簡介，應當引導觀眾去認識，這是一個類似于羅密歐和朱利葉的愛情故事的古中國真實的愛情故事。 不過真情是，梁山伯得知祝英臺是女性時，去她家看望了，因見祝無法抗拒媒酌婚姻，后奮進讀書成舉人，榮躍歸鄉。實情是，祝得了相思病而去世，用現在的醫學話語就是嚴重的憂郁癥，而非梁。 祝英臺的老家在浙江省寧波市嵊縣，現在還有祝家莊，是個旅游景點。因我奶奶的老家在那，從小就聽奶奶說起祝英臺的住家祝家莊這個地方，文革時沒有破壞外觀，但已荒蕪，后來修飾完善。浙江省的地方戲是越劇，就是發源于祝的老家嵊縣的，越劇的語音因此就是嵊縣的地方語音，屬吳方言，后來被引入上海，因滬方言也屬吳方言體系，因此在上海，特別是女性，在那個時代很多人是越劇迷。越劇由此在中國東南方走紅。和京劇相反，傳統越劇團的演員全是女性，是女扮南妝的劇種。越劇的武功不及其它劇種，但唱腔和做功很適合表現愛情題材， 如紅樓夢，西廂記，梁祝，都是越劇團的壓臺戲。小提琴協奏曲梁祝的主旋律，就是越劇的旋律。 是否因為越劇團是女性劇團，而在劇情中將祝的悲劇移到梁的身上？ 在江南地區，確有一種比較好看的蝴蝶是雙雙飛的，我們小時候常會看到。

[@teddywang69]

是嗎 你當然可以這樣認為這是你的自由 但你認為的未必就是对的 或許你在多聽一點不同的 未來你會改變 回到重點 回到我想說的重點 其實他一開始 Cantabile 拉得是不錯 一些味道是有拉出來 但是不要因為這樣子就下結論 其的部分特 別是後半後二分之一 他拉的就真的不怎麼樣 〈 過這些部分 因為旋律感不是這麼重 所以除非聆聽的人自己也練過這個曲子我 否則這有可能不會去注意到這些 一般的聽眾 聆聽的習慣 聆聽音樂的習慣 重點只會放在最一開始 然後就會很快的下結論) 回到這個演奏 但其實也很難為她了 因為以他的年紀 這首曲子主題以外的部分 以他的年紀 本來就很難體會到 再加上鋼琴伴奏 的影響 也會影響到演奏者的心情 最後 其實他這個版本拉的速度有點太快 他的運弓 節奏動態感是不錯 但是不夠 夠細緻 短音走長弓的時候 劃得太急 這個部分的運弓 有點太粗糙 不過另外一個角度來看 節奏動態 力度變化 相對的會比較好 (不過我個人認為他這個問題根本的原因 並不是速度快的問題 可是他運弓的習慣 他的身體機能本來就 比較沒辦法 所以讓他會想要加快劃弓的速度 最後導致 把整個曲子拉得很快 ) 他還很年輕 希望有一天他能夠察覺到 他這個的缺奌 可以再提升成為一位真正 的演奏家

But actually it is a disease that many ( not all ) Chinese ( and not only just Chinese people ) , not just during ancient time, but even in modern time, are suffering from - that is, bending to authoritative hierarchical system that does not place value on the individual's right - plus - the children - especially girls - are treated as personal property of the parents, to be completely obedience and honor the "family" at all cost.... this may be a love story folklore but I will not be surprise that this happened to many people throughout history

@@user-xe5wx4lo4r 谢谢您的留言！同意您的看法，吕思清作为帕格尼尼大奖赛的金奖获得者，这位韩国女孩的技巧与他相比还是有些差距，特别是快节奏部分。梁祝在当年首演时，陈刚老师启用了16岁的俞丽拿演奏该曲，其用意我想是因为该曲主要是描述祝英台的内心世界。俞丽拿当年演奏时有不少的音拉得不是很准，但这并未影响该曲目的巨大成功。梁祝由于曲目中使用了大量滑指技术，使得男女演奏者之间的差别变得相当大，我本人有一张吕思清签名的CD，也现场听过他的演奏，相比之下还是更喜欢这位韩国女孩的演奏，特别是慢节奏细节的处理。个人之见，不足当真！

[@digitalpau2347]

this piece of music is absolutely beautiful, now I understand the story behind it.

[@kama3269]

A beautiful concerto, I would never have guessed it had a sad side to it. nicely narrated by ms. wong, thank you

[@clairehuang6292]

I’m so glad that she explained briefly about this story~this piece is really beautifully interpreted! Love it!

[@clairehuang6292]

And I’m glad no one sneezed or coughed .... And I think it tells a lot of things 😂

[@HeifetzMusic]

Great observation, Claire - it was entrancing for all who were there!

[@bnmimi4ever]

Omg. I love her. This is a lovely story told with music

[@4jefftvai]

This girl memorized this song. It's beautiful and full of feeling..Played so perfectly.

[@zhihaoxu8119]

Wow! Unbelievable! Ji-Won Song is definitely amazing at interpreting this piece. Also, shout out to Beilin Han. She is from Shanghai where this piece is created. Amazing pianist.

[@oberstleutnant787]

Shanghainese are most talented.

[@smartdicky1459]

Ji-Won didn't explain it well. The girl came from a rich family, and the boy from a poor family. Obviously, the father objected to their dating and the girl was refrained from seeing the boy. The boy later died of illness (probably from broken heart), and the girl refused to go to the arranged marriage. She went to his graveside, and the couple metamorphizes into butterflies and living happily forever. The "Butterfly Lovers" is similar to the Western "Romeo and Juliet".

[@ramonchan9732]

Oh..You are Korean. Thanks for promoting Chinese music. 감사합니다..잘 해요^^

[@ymoduki]

really appreciate that you tell the whole story to the whole world.

[@zjlijie]

这是我所听过所有版本的梁祝之中最好的！大赞！！！！

[@georgewu53]

Her introduction session was as lovely as her violin performance and music.

[@pravoslavn]

OUTSTANDING !!! The Chinese people are so extremely talented. I wish I could read their language.

[@juanjosekunert]

She is korean.

[@user-fw1sr9oy4c]

LOOOOL SHE'S KOREAN

[@trekpac2]

So surprised. She is one of the very talented Koreans! Love it!

[@ms.chuisin7727]

The story was Chinese but the performers were Korean.

[@ellensong1228]

Amazing interpretation. I work in a hospital and hope I can play this for some of the patients ! Stellar young women off to a promising start

[@DigitalLazarus]

Breathtaking as always. What a most fabulous accompaniment on Piano. Wondrous and one of my absolute favourite modern classics. Love and light from London.

[@john-ss8hk]

cant agree more

[@fumingjiang6894]

This is the best of the best in the world! Thank you!

[@xiaojingren1262]

The boy did not just die of a disease. The other men, who was from a rich and more powerful family, beat the boy up after he knew that the boy was in love with the beautiful girl. The boy, who was merely a poor student, could not afford a good treatment even though he was really sick. Together with mental stress and deep sadness that he could not marry the girl who he loved and who loved him back, his sickness worsened and he subsequently died.

[@johnlu4920]

To be honest,as a Chinese,I never consider this kind of possibility,what you said totally make sense,sometimes I just forgot how unfortunate underdogs can be and what evil things the man who's rich and powerful would do.

[@poorman3134]

That dump boy would not be too poor. In the old days, only those who are not too poor could afford to hire a private teacher to teach their child at home.

[@jlzhao]

The poor boy didn’t get beaten, not in the original story

[@ktsai2003]

Sentimentally beautiful... What a ride!

[@yifanzhang1655]

absolutely beautiful

[@seechenghock5777]

OMG ! perfection .a MASTERPIECE !

[@jamsheddelvadavala1972]

Fabulous! Such a sweet sad tale, so endearingly narrated & superbly performed. Ms. Song, was pure SONG. Technically flawless she played splendidly! The pianist, Ms. Han, was just superb too. (The piece is quite a HANFUL)! Performed in the western classical tradition with a strong Oriental flavour! Thanks for the post! Jamshed Delvadavala Mumbai.

[@ellenrongli]

Stunning , best of the best in this specific piece.

[@michaelflores6253]

Are all of these different movements or are they just variations?

[@MichaelScofieldWatching]

This is a single movement concerto with sections. Each sections are different stories of the entire romance.

[@simonlai]

Ji-Won Song & Beilin Han you two tell the story so carrying me away all throughout!

[@pgpm4166]

The best Butterfly lover master piece so far that I heard ……..

[@cyballypig]

Oh my gosh, so expressive and full of emotions. So far the best interpretation. Love it.

[@mrpatchy9950]

Both the artists are completely immersed in in recreating the beautiful story , so forcefully and with true emotion , beautiful, such lovely music , a balm for a troubled souls .

[@georgezhang667]

ji won song 演奏的是目前国内外所有的版本中最好的！ 基本功扎实，对乐曲的理解精准、到位，十分优美动听！ 是难得一见的新生代小提琴家。谢谢ji won song⚘️❤️❤️❤️

[@lmxqlmxq]

I played this piece and performed on stage for a couple of years with my elementary school band, of course I was nowhere close to her techniques back then but thanks for the posting ,it brought back all the good old memories after 2 decades. ( I stopped playing violin at age 12 due to rigorous school curriculum)

[@occasioncolors89]

I have heard this concerto so many times played by various Chinese violinists, and none of them really get to the soul of the legendary story. Ji-Won's interpretation is so far the best version. Her youngful feeling and playful mood represents exactly the naughty girl who dressed as a guy in order to attend the boys only school. The later fall in love and heart broken scenes also well presented. Hope to hear Ji-Woo plays again with an orchestra. Well done !

[@ansuajo]

She memorizes and executes an entire piece and also explains it in her second language which she speaks as flawlessly as her mother tongue. Just shoot me. This is beautiful. I am dead.

[@gioirlee]

Wow, it's a very sad, beautiful story! I'm listening this music for the first time, but I'm falling in love with music, and with this violinist, too.

[@Sooojiiiiejie]
