A. Piazzolla: Café 1930 from Histoire du Tango, played by Chloe Chua (violin) & Kevin Loh (guitar)

[@MenuhinCompetition]

We are all very proud of you Chloe! It was our honour to award you joint Junior 1st Prize and we have been delighted to see how much you have continued to develop since then. We can't wait to continue following your career and enjoying your music!

[@rofo2107]

I like that Menuhin Competition si still following and encouraging Chloe. On the other hand Chloe's final Vivaldi was degraded by audience interrupting her after each movement. It was a bit embarassing wasn't it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYWcm4KQgauUe7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYWcm4KQgauUe7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpLGcoh6bb6bqqM kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpLGcoh6bb6bqqM

[@linglingwannabe9135]

I guess it isnt exactly that bad, at least not in the middle of a movement, in between movements can be kinda annoying, but hey, its better than yt ads popping up in the middle of Mendelssohn violin concerto every 3 mins. I restarted that video about 5 times b4 i gave up. :D

It's so intense that it hurts me. It' not easy to understand how a little girl like Chloe has captured the deep melancholy of Piazzolla's piece. Absolutely amazing.

[@GeoffreyWilliamson-mt7vh]

She's not that little

[@nielshoogev1]

What I love most about the playing of Chloe Chua is her patience. She takes her time for every note to be right, and since she is quick if she wants to, she has that time to prepare for that next note. Every performance of her I've seen, breathes.

[@leonthelad3208]

I know this is Chloe’s channel and all, but this song is literally what inspired me to buy a classical guitar a few months ago. The guitarist is amazing!

[@jackburgess274]

The guitarist is Kevin Loh. He is indeed a really excellent guitarist, and has his own YT channel, stacked with videos of superb performances. Happily, he and Chloe plan to collaborate again I understand. (Good luck with the guitar!)

[@ArtHampton]

Amen to that. Just excellent technique and gobs of emotion and expression.

[@sadhbhdelahunt]

Kevin Loh.

[@sedrus01]

Same. I stopped playing guitar for 6 years and this song made me start playing it again.

[@brucebenson5908]

Part of the magic of these moments is the skill of the videographer and sound engineer to place us in front of the performers as if we were in the room with them. Visually and aurally we are settled, relaxed and able to absorb the performance completely. We are undistracted by any artifice of the technical elements of the production. The people who gave us front-row seats served these remarkable musicians remarkably well.

[@clementihammock7572]

Totally agreed. Good setup work and excellent musicians.

[@alinavyaznikova]

Согласна. Но я слушала, глядя лишь в ноты, и поверьте, впечатление ещё круче! Ничего не отвлекает от чистой музыки😊

[@jwilliam2255]

Chloe's interpretation and musicality are, of course, almost beyond description. Kevin's guitar is fully the equal of Chloe's violin. They have been performing this piece for several years and their practice time has been very well spent. Aurally, visually, in every way, this is the most beautiful duet I have seen. Bravissimo to you both. P.S. Your decision to wear period-appropriate apparel was brilliant.

[@rafaelmarttins7970]

I don’t have words to describe how beautiful this is😢

How fortunate these two, very fine players have found each other. She has such beautiful tone, and he is wonderful. When I lose the will to live, musicians like these give me a shred of peace.

[@bezonshroff]

They're not performing .... they're worshiping. And transporting the listener to a special place.

[@みつコウリイ]

Chloe Chua and Kevin Loh looks very classy and simple here !! They both look magnificent. :) I also love her outfit, I never expected her to wear a different clothing - She looks very gorgeous and the hairstyle is cute !! Chloe's violin playing is always very remarkable, I love her tempo in Café 1930 !! Slow and relaxing just like you would hear in a café. And their interpretation of the piece is just perfect. I am really thankful that I can hear and see this for free, it almost feels illegal because it is a marvellous recording and videography !! 🌸

[@develmax]

Исходный текст Class, I really love this piece and try to play it myself on the violin, this is certainly very far from such an ideal. And also I love Argentine tango and I understand what movements in this dance are and how passionate and emotional the dance is. The café of the time is quite appropriate for this slow and laid-back game. Piazzolla is a brilliant composer! I think that Histoire du Tango's work is underestimated and unfortunately not very popular, although it sounds very nice. Fortunately, sometimes it is played by such cool performers and it pleases and warms the soul.

[@appl2597]

Yeah, Both beautifully dressed and playing beautiful music The perfect combination. I'm not sure why the person running this channel did not add a _'Super Thanks'_ button. For fans, it's a great way to express appreciation and show their support for the artiste. If this channel is monetised, it shouldn't be difficult at all.

[@rofo2107]

I'm happy that this recording was created. On the other hand (as I said many times before) Chloe is that super rare musician who has the God's voice and bares the Holy fire. She is not just a musician or talented musician or anything like that. With all the respect to the Menuhin Competition which awarded joint 1st price to her and with all the respect to Christian they are not on the same level and they never were. Christian can be very good but it will be a tragedy if Chloe would not be able to develop her talent to the full extent because of the COVID situation and other contributing aspects. She is the chosen one who could be on pair with Titans like Maxim Vengerov, HIlary Hahn, Julia Fischer, Midori Goto and others. The only thing she needs is performing regularly with good orchestras and got experience of being a soloist in a good orchestra with a good conductor. All those Titans I mentioned above started very early, for example: Hilary debuted 11 years old and she played Beethoven concert with Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra when she was 15 It was broadcaste all over the Europe. Maxim got his 1st proffessional contract when he was 16 Julia performed with Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra orchestra when she was 14 Midori ... should I really mention her concert with Leonard Bernstein ? I think it is not necessary. She was 14 when she made headlines in New York Times Now Chloe is reaching that critical age and it is now or never. I hope, I really hope she will not be playing duets with guitar and that she got the opportunity she deserves - to play 1st class music as a world class soloist. And yes her dress was quite OK ....I don't think it is important but it was OK.

The first time I found you playing was Vivaldi's Four Seasons, but recently I've been listening to two versions of Piazzolla's ,especially 1930, in turn, when you were very young, oh you're still very young. But I love them both. I don't think there's ever been, and probably will always so, such a delicate performance.

Once more, thank you Chloe for a deeply moving rendition of a wonderful piece. The vibrati and the glissendi sound both "loose" and incredibly controlled; just the right amount and timing to make at least this listener vibrate all over. Absolutely masterful.
