Opening of the Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto ʚїɞ

[@jacquieviegas6082]

My goodness Chloe has matured so much. The sound she produces is absolutely magical. She has to be among THE best violinists of her generation, if not the very best of them all!

[@ysabellabernice5422]

YES!❤

[@jackburgess8579]

Not just of her generation. Chloe is among the best violinists alive, if not the very best of them all.

bruh the Flute and Oboe solo is immaculate sia

Fr. Everyone's talking about Chloe Chua's playing, but I think the flute and oboe solos are also worth talking about.

[@fishoiyu96]

The butterfly emoji in the title is so cute, so as Chloe and her performance!

[@elishamorgan]

I've never heard of this concerto, but it is absolutely beautiful. This young lady is also so incredibly talented.

[@jamesrawlins735]

There are so many wonderful Chinese pieces that we have little exposure to.

[@GMD3N]

it's a chinese piece

[@jxmai7687]

You have to know the story of butterfly lovers before listen to this concerto.

[@JJ.___.]

Erhu aka Chinese violin plays this song so beautifully too. 😊 and yes do check out the butterfly lovers story as it’ll help us feel the song all the more

[@sadhbhdelahunt]

I love the singapore symphony orchestra. Just so balanced and each instrument sounds heavenly. Chloe is magnificent, complemented by these musicians.

[@clementihammock7572]

Sg and SSO owed to Dr. Goh a great deal. Our mighty tough old guard, who has built many of SG institutions, from Defense, Econ, Culture, and Bird Park. And he was one strongly rejected the idea of letting Sentosa island to be another oil refinery. Dr Goh was its founding patron from 1979 and was acknowledged as such till 2011, a year after his death in 2010. In a 1980 interview with The Straits Times on the occasion of the orchestra's first birthday, Dr Goh said: "We are not the Philistines that our economic and material success might lead people to believe we are. We believe that there's more to life than making money and that the orchestra would be worthwhile as it would raise the standard of culture of Singaporeans."

[@gt1man931]

The whole thing is lovely, and the beautiful Miss Chloe Chua is the cherry on top.

[@damianc80]

Monster flute player!!

Chloe Chua will be starting her Bachelor’s degree in Hanns Eisler this October and will be learning violin from Mr. Kolja Blacher.

[@soothingmoments2139]

Prodigy like her is already a PhD standard easily.. Why still need a degree..

[@Colonel_Kassad]

@@soothingmoments2139 Music history, music theory, etc... In a way, you're right. The Beatles couldn't read the score and had no ambition to learn it. Still, they had heard about Bach even though they just Rolled Over Beethoven :)

[@itsnlee]

Can't believe my ears. How can a violin sound like this, so poignant. My heart is so moved.

[@britneynguyen5344]

I've been playing the violin for many years, but I never knew the violin could sound like that. Chloe is absolutely amazing!

[@jackburgess8579]

Yesterday (July 26), The Violin Channel published a very interesting interview with Chloe, in which she announced that she has enrolled on a BA at the Hanns Eisler music school in Berlin, starting in October, where she will study violin with Kolja Blacher. I think that Berlin will soon feel like a home from home (in Chloe's beloved Singapore), and that she will have a wonderful time there. I wish her the very best of luck as she begins this new chapter in her life!

[@jamesrawlins735]

It's a great next step as she matures from a child prodigy to a full master violinist

[@jackburgess8579]

@@jamesrawlins735 Chloe is already a full master violinist (in the sense that she has given some of the best performances, of works central to the repertoire, of the recorded era).

[@xuyunlong8906]

@@jackburgess274 Absolutely!

[@jagerardi]

I have played this piece, and it's wonderful. The secret to its performance (which Chloe nailed) is that it was originally written for western instruments that would try to capture the spirit of Chinese instruments (in her case, the Erhu.) The piece was banned during the Cultural Revolution, and later was revived, but on traditional Chinese instruments: the opening flute is done on the Dizi, the oboe on the Guan. (Only the Cellos were kept- China has no equivalent.) This piece comes full circle with the violin trying to sound like an erhu, trying to sound like a violin! Very difficult to do, but from the snippet here, she pulled it off. Brava, young lady. ..Joe Sidebar- my violin instructor (and principal violist of the Savannah Symphony Orchestra) is from Beijing, and went to the Beijing Central Conservatory. I sent him the preview video for this, and he recognized about 6-8 members of the SSO that were former classmates of his. 🙂

[@jagerardi]

@@LucienMarine Oh, yes it was. It banned during the cultural revolution because of the use of Western instruments. My source? my good friend who was born and raised in Beijing, who went to the Beijing Central Conservatory, and whose mother was the first woman in history to play viola with the National Symphony. Of course, I'm sure you're going to state that Chinese professional musicians of the era don't know as much as you, so go right ahead. ..Joe

[@liz8487]

I heard it! I heard the emotional sound of Chinese instrument like describing the thick and thin of life and now reading this makes more sense. Thanks.

[@danic9052]

Oh wow! This is absolutely the most beautiful piece I have ever heard!! It just sounds magical!!! I almost started to cry hearing it just from the phone! Can't imagine how incredible it would be live! It felt like the awakening of the world in spring. Hope to hear the full version soon.

[@Aragorn1700]
