인터뷰 내용만 봐도 70년대 우리나라는 한국전쟁 이미지도 강했고 동양인이 서양 음악을 한다는 것이 더더욱 여자가... 생소했나보네요 정말 정경화 바이올리니스트 대단합니다

[@countfrederick4550]

I think she is GORGEOUS !!!!

[@greekvvedge]

In addition to being an amazing violinist, Kyungwha was unbelievably beautiful as well as incredibly charming. The whole package. She has lived a great life.

[@davidmehnert6206]

Greekvvedge and she just got better and better and better... a musician’s musician... her recording of the Berg Violin Concerto has been a personal touchstone.

[@fredchang3648]

This is my 1st time ever to see her interviewing before she perform her debut concerto. How fresh & innocent she looks at that time!! I loved her performance!

[@bluepool210]

She's so charming!

[@SaraDirect23]

Very well spoken, lovely character!

[@chloel3032]

She's so beautiful and young in this video : )

[@gitano7109]

I love her music from longtime but now I wonder whether I prefer her different interviews to her music. Young Chung is so charming. I feel her eyes were beyond this world. Very impressed.

Ah she's so cute!

[@bonaom]

Her family certainly was very very affluent, the family moved piano to southern part of S Korea when Korean War started. Very few house in S Korea owned the piano in 1940s and 50s. 99% of Koreans affected by Korean War many starved, her family continued musical education even during Korean War which is very hard to imagine.

I do love her reference to Galamian. My teacher does the same, she refers to him as Mr. Galamian, as if he's a normal man who teaches the violin. It's sad that we're passing into a generation of violinists that will never know a teacher who studied with "Mr." Galamian, but I suppose that those who studied with him felt the same way. I did love the interview, and I got here from her recording of the Dvorak Romance. Superb, simply superb.

[@fordemodele4647]

But as of 2006 teaches at the Julliard School in NY,NY when she is not concertizing or living in her other homes abroad (London, Seoul).

[@minkyeungkim3909]

연주자의 연주 자체에 대한 이야기에 이르기까지 겪어야하는 질문이 너무 많네요. 한국에 대한 이미지가 정말 음악과는 어울리지 않았나보네요.^^;

[@gitano7109]

개인적으로 21세기도 아닌 그때까지만 해도 미개한 시대였던 70년대에 동양의 이름없는 나라에서 온 뮤지션에게 세계최고였던 데카 레코딩 등 온갖 특권(?)을 주었던 영국 음악인들이 대단한 사람들이었다고 생각합니다.

[@kimli2176]

Not korean accent. I believe her accent is much influenced by european

[@fordemodele4647]

I believe she resides in London where she was voted distinguished citizen of the year for her contribution in the arts. My mother went to elementary school with her. She is in her 70s or late sixties. Hope this helps !

[@gitano7109]

Citizen of the year in London? in 1970s? WOW. I think both Chung and British people amazing.

[@violinmusicfan]

AMAZING! Do you have a video of the performance? :D

[@bs4e]

her accent sounds french

[@icylakepaxphile]

typical korean accent! so cute!!!

[@sjy6468]

when was this filmed?

[@MrTann2010]

C NY in 71 I believed, although I think you'd have found that out by now? :p

[@veraevans6387]

If there's a such thing as a French-Korean accent.

[@user-bc9nf1gw5e]

안드레 프레빈이 지휘했네.

[@robharris5467]

Can you name any Western performers who have mastered any Asian instrument? Voice, violin and just about any other performance area includes many brilliant Asians.

[@khtlon]

What vacuous questioning by Saunders verging on utter rudeness. Asking her age in that mannere and then going into the Korean War. No discretion at all and Chung is visibly uncomfortable. He is so awkward and unprofessional. Could barely bring himself to say thank you and to call her name. As cold as a block of ice and of course so condescending, typically British.

[@ninanam7924]

confrontational tone of interviewer unfortunately

[@khtlon]

very rude behaviour by interviewer
