Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto in E Minor (Brett Yang, Singapore Symphony Orchestra)

[@johnny_eth]

In the start Brett was nervous, you could see. He made a couple small mistakes. But then going into the 2nd and 3rd movement, he owned the piece !

[@perseus31]

Definitely. In the first movement he even tried to control vibratos tightly so you can clearly hear how stressful his playing is at first.

[@mypianoschat9475]

He really nailed the 3rd movement. Like he really did! He was way more relaxed too!! All in all he did a very good job

[@CutePuppy520]

Wow, if I hadn’t seen this performance I would have long forgotten that Brett used to be a violinist in a legit orchestra

[@hj.editsTWOSET]

I was absolutely moved by Brett's playing. I was peacefully working on my homework when I heard this: 20:15 Was absolutely startled the heck out of, and I had youtube premium so I was so confused why I heard this ad lol

[@marceaufoulon2152]

Just had the same haha when I put that moment 😂

Brett, I am also Chinese and a lot older than you. I am from the f’ou t’song era. You have no idea how proud I am seeing you doing what you are doing. I remember being told in the 1960’s by western artist and professors, you Chinese cannot understand “our music” I did not listen of course but somebody with less self confidence would have been discouraged. Thank you. There is a message for our younger generation, we have been doing it for a few thousand years and just took a break for a century and we are back. Your second movement is quite exquisite. I am probably the oldest subscriber to your channel.

[@susanliu140]

Just because you are Chinese is not like your gonna have a “connection”

[@fingerhorn4]

Well done. Sometimes on the edge of my seat and routing for you. But you put your money where your mouth was. The performance all the better for it. Though you never claimed to be a top class performer you came through with a very musical and absorbing performance. Kudos!

it’s so unlucky that i didnt watch the whole of it before it was deleted for copyright 😢

[@burnbook3076]

Its back up now!

[@VanessaRodriguez-k9p]

I started violin again because of twoset

[@rydertanaka1771]

The opening of the concerto is the most difficult passage in the whole piece. You have to play quiet, but you are playing entirely on the E string which can tend to sound overly bright and sharp. You have to slur everything, but shift from 2nd position to 7th and back again and somehow make it all connect. And just the fact that you have those octaves coming up next to keep in tune is nerve wracking.

[@ly2867]

The thir movement was epic! I usually listen to the variante of hilary hahn, and I must definetly say, that on some points I found it even better than hilarie's! It's really unique,and I must say, I'm.proud of those two, especially Brett!

[@productivitymusic5487]

When LingLing practices 40 hours a day, he's aspiring to sound like this. This is awesome. I've heard some pretty rotten versions of the Mendleson concerto before and this is what its supposed to sound like.

[@invistime938]

Then why there some shifts that sound shit?

[@zachUK]

Well, I'm quite impressed really. Intonation problems here and there to be sure (3rd movement) ... but I loved the overall legato style for lack of a better word. I. think the conductor pushed the tempo beyond where Brett was entirely comfortable.

[@lisarsng7751]

His articulation is beautiful btw

[@w.sommen5209]

Beautiful👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 one of my favorite pieces and Brett nailed it. Great orchestra too!

[@reniunia1]

[@mjl1966y]

mid-roll in the middle of a concerto is not just rude, it's downright sacrilegious. Save that stuff for the beginning and the end.

[@thomsonlife9786]

Brett, you have improved so much since 2016, as I rewatch your videos from the start over and over again. It cannot be put into words how proud I am for you. You started as just a normal violinist, and now, you are performing at the highest level! Well done and keep it up!

P.S. 11:27 she's the only one looming at Brett or the conductor or up at all other than the oboist 😂😂 P.P.S. 13:55 didn't know violins had breath marks and wtf, they're allowed to take them at the end/in the middle of phrases??? 💀😂

Does anyone here know WHO was the *sound engineer* for this concert?! I’d travel the world just to pay my respects to them! Not to mention the entire crew behind the scenes and especially Charmaine Teo* the “cameras Maestro”. Everything was brought to perfection! * Charmaine Teo, winner of the President’s Young Performer Concert, was acclaimed by The Straits Times for her “nimble fingers and consummate musicianship” following her solo debut with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. Currently, she serves as a harp lecturer for diploma and degree students at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
