Finale from Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1

Chloe performs the final movement from Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 26 with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra conducted by Lawrence Renes. The performance was recorded on 3 March 2023 at the Esplanade Concert Hall, Singapore.
"It was a very wonderful experience to work with Maestro Lawrence Renes, [SSO's guest] concertmaster Vesellin Gellev and the SSO. Maestro Renes was very patient with me to find out how I would like to play the Bruch in our first rehearsal with the orchestra. He would always make sure that I was comfortable with any adjustments or new ideas that he suggested to me.
"During the concerts, I felt that the intensity of the music was so well-kept throughout the performance and all the climaxes were brought out so beautifully that I was truly inspired and rewarded with tons of emotional satisfaction playing the Bruch with him. I also had a lot of fun communicating with Mr Gellev and the SSO through music and I felt so well supported by them. The concert was indeed very memorable for me." - Chloe

It's so clean. There is no struggle, all style, all substance. It's actually unbelievable how violin can be played like this

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

I don’t even know how she does it.

[@BiffJohnsonIII]

the orchestra is pretty good too... like how the timpinist doesnt hold back

Yes. Her playing really comforted me.

You could turn the volume off, if you're a musician who's put enough effort in your craft in your life, you'd still recognize by her facial expressions and her body movements/swings that she's nailing this concerto effortlessly, as if the concerto was a part of her and she just expresses it out. Outstanding human being.

Chloe is a true natural violin master. I never get tired of watching her play. She's just magic.

[@WillT25]

From the first note Chloe showcased her brilliance with the enthusiasm by the orchestra made it an incredible experience. The pride shown and energy was truly special. An amazing soloist backed by a world class conductor and orchestra. Truly an impressive performance! 🎉

[@YogaBlissDance]

AGREED wow shes' amazing. I saw her 11 year old preformance of Vivaldi which is so stirring but this which is less well known she still shines. her talent is amazing.

[@AndySaenz924]

This is the most difficult movement of the entire concerto, and she nailed it. She makes it look so easy but it’s not! And she played it with so much grace, finesse, and it sounds beautiful too.

[@maxn.4616]

I always forget her name is Chloe since in my house we call her ling ling...

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

Chloe is one of the most gifted and talented violinists I’ve ever heard. OMG.

[@mnheintzelman1373]

My daughter plays this piece, let me tell you these chords alone are on a knifes edge of dissonance and are quite difficult to keep sounding so musical! It's one of those pieces that separates the aspiring from the achievers!

[@gongli100]

I wish my thoughts could covey how much I love the Singapore Orchestra. And Chloe Chua is just absolutely astounding. I won't admit how many times I've watched this . Breathtaking and so emotional. My gratitude and thanks for this.

[@immayra9645]

I've been looking for this piece and this is the best interpretation and performance of them all.

[@tanyarose-apple3330]

Thank to Chloe Chua for making me fall in love with listening to classic violin once again

[@hknavyseals66]

The famous melody 4:55 to 5:25 was so beautiful by Chloe that i never get from any other violinist before,her good heart reflected by her music! Chloe 無與倫比的音樂是因為她有無與倫比的愛心及優秀的技巧，缺一不可。這是歷來我聽過最好的 Bruch小提協！

[@jackburgess8579]

I agree completely. Here and elsewhere, Chloe's magnificent music-making is the product of technical excellence, profound musical understanding, and, no less important, spiritual virtue.

[@Amalia-classicalviolinist]

Happy birthday, dear Chloe! I like the way you play music, and every piece you play becomes my favorite. Thanks to you, I started listening to classical music, and, after all, today I participate in international competitions. To be honest, I've never liked playing the violin. but when I saw your performance in the Menuhin finale a year and a half ago, I really got carried away with it. Now I have just turned 14 years old, and I am already learning Paganini Concerto No. 1. Thanks to you, I have what I have today. Thank you, dear Chloe. I would like to wish you further success in music, inspiration, health and happiness in life! May God bless you.

[@thomaslovse]

Wow! 14 and playing Paganini 1?!? I’m 15 and I’m learning the Bruch! You are a GOOD violinist!! I don’t know you, but I’m proud of the effort you’ve put in to get to that level! GREAT JOB to you and Chloe!

[@dmwalker24]

I have listened many many times to a popular performance of this piece on KZbin by Hilary Hahn. Every aspect of this performance is just as fantastic, and nothing about it leaves me feeling like I wish I were listening to the one I am more familiar with. That's extremely rare for me to be able to say, especially when the familiar performance is one of Hilary's.

[@hknavyseals66]

Hilary was so professional and she attempted to play that follow to nowaday people would like to hear,while Chloe play by heart.

Great news! SSO and Chloe Chua touring Australia. Chloe and Ng Pei-Sian playing Brahms Double Concerto which is a fierce piece. Can't wait for Chloe and Pei-Sian to wipe the floor with me, again :)

[@lbchua5733]

Coming July, I will attend the concert live that features Brahms' Double Concerto. (On another note, last November, Pei-Sian and Chloe's short duet within the Butterfly Lovers Concerto was hauntingly beautiful. Can't wait till its video release. But that I believe will be after the CD release expected to be within months from now on).

[@SusanneStechow-oo7zi]

Yes, I enjoy Chloe's playing and respect her work and her person very much but the word "worship" I could not use for my relation to her. I do not know her personnally and even if I would know her I could not say that I could worship her. I am a Christian person and I could only say that worshippers are persons who attend worship.😮
