I was so happy to learn that Chloe is to tour Australia with the SSO in 2024-25. She will make her Australian debut in the Sydney Opera house - seating capacity 2600+ - performing Brahms' double concerto for violin and cello with the SSO's principal cellist. Then she will give repeat performances in Melbourne and Brisbane. What a thrill for her! I am so glad that she has such a wonderful trip to look forward to!

Yeah, actually some interpretations that I watched recently make me see that you shouldn't play pieces like if you were practicing escales, and that every part of the piece need some rubato, dinamics and articulation, even the fastest parts. And slow parts are an oportunity to be extra charming with a very warm sound. My music is much better now, and it's actually much easy to play.

This is the most astonishing violin performance i have ever come across. The power, the raw emotion and energy you convey is absolutely out of this world. The whole thing gets even more mindblowing when we consider your age. You have my utmost respect, Chloe! PS. Just when i thought it couldn't get more unbelievable, i have just found out that this was performed live at the Menuhin Competition Prizewinners Concert and it WASN'T comfortably recorded with multiple takes in a studio. I just can't wrap my head around this....

[@jackburgess8579]

While I agree that this is a stupendous and astonishing performance, I am fairly confident that it was not given live. It is taken from a video featuring Chloe and Christian Li, in their capacity as the 2018 junior Menuhin Competition joint winners, the premiere of which was streamed on 18 May at the 2021 competition in the US, which had to be held "virtually" because of the pandemic. Chloe was in Singapore; Christian was in Australia. They must have pre-recorded their own videos and submitted them to Menuhin, who then put them together for the streaming. Christian had recorded at least part of his recital (the Grieg), in April! Chloe's contribution, which consisted of the Ysaye we have here and performances of Wagner, Gershwin/Heifetz, and Chausson, is posted in a single video on the Menuhin Competition's YT channel. I doubt that she even recorded the video in a single session. It is possible, but if she did there would have had to have been some piano shifting for the other three works. I suspect it was recorded over at least two sessions. PS I had eagerly awaited the premier on 18 May 2021 for weeks, and I stayed up late to catch it. I wasn't able to watch all of it, however. The Ysaye was so extraordinary, and so profoundly overwhelming, that I couldn't concentrate on what came after it and I had to abandon my viewing. When I did get to watch the whole thing, I thought - and still think - that the Chausson is even more remarkable.

[@diyangenchev-7881]

Ok I’ve been listening to this interpretation since day 1. BUT ONE THING I REALIZED, at least after hearing all of the versions I can find so far, no one, I REPEAT NO ONE, has nailed the ending in terms of being in tune and not sounding crunchy. Chloe is by far the most musical and most skilled violinist I’ve ever seen! ❤❤❤ and she’s so sweet too!! Keep it up Chloe!

[@jackburgess274]

I agree. Chloe's musicality is second to none. Her most recent masterpiece is Tchaikovsky's Meditation, sadly hidden away on the Copenhagen Summer Festival channel. The depth and sophistication of the performance is staggering.

[@Missingo32]

I don't think it's a competition, but I do believe Hadelich's interpretation may manage something similar, on the chance you haven't heard it; and while clarity matters, texture is still a tool in any string player's arsenal. It can be abused in certain cases, sure; but even Chua herself utilizes with those finale double-stops. If pristine clarity is what you're looking for, then Hahn also plays the ending very well, too. That said, this is already among my favorite performances (even above the usual suspects). Hadelich uses the same notes to tell a very convincing story that is worth hearing as well. This is the second performance that I've heard to make sense of the piece as a whole; pretty incredible.

[@jackburgess274]

@@Missingo32 Hadelich is an excellent violinist of course, but I find his performance mannered; it lacks the momentum and overall cohesion of Chloe's performance. (The clarity he gains is at too high a price.) I am _really_ surprised that you esteem Hahn's ending. It is by far the worst part of her performance. The lack of drive and drop of tempo is disastrous. Talk about an anti-climax!

You haven't heard Maxim Vengerov play it then!!

[@graceonaga3094]

I come back frequently to listen to this piece and always marvel at what the musician has accomplished. The 2024 Queen Elisabeth Violin Competition has just ended with 12 superb finalists who gave it their all to present their best interpretations of Ballade. I didn’t know until recently that this competition was known previously as the Ysaye Competition, being renamed after his death, so it was fitting that all the participants be called upon to do an Ysaye composition. Ballade is perhaps not the most difficult of the six sonatas even though all sonatas are indeed difficult, but it reflects Ysaye’s deep affection and respect for the lyricism, creativity and consummate skill of his friend and dedicatee, George Enescu. I found a quote from Ysaye in one of the older published articles that he had “let his imagination run wild” when he composed this piece. I took that to mean that the musician has the discretion and freedom to paint on a large or small musical canvas without going astray of the composer’s intention, i.e. a wide range of interpretations are valid so long as the musician can retain the composition’s integrity as a ballad. Maxim Vengerov’s interpretation which might be characterized as starting in a claustrophobic space before finally successfully scaling a height seems to be one that a number of musicians, including many at this recent competition, have adopted. I enjoyed every interpretation by the 12 finalists and I appreciated the effort made. Ballade repeatedly exposes the soloist in its demands - orchestral sound in some parts followed by unforgiving technical virtuosity in others. It can be exhausting. Chloe paints on a huge musical canvas, eliciting a wide variety of emotions from the listener in the process. She does not stop until the last bow stroke, and then at least for me, I saw her completed work.

Having examined the Wieniawski in some detail, Eddy says that the Ysaye "is at the point where I almost feel I can't even comment ... I know what I am hearing is amazing but it is at the point where I'd say I don't even know how she is doing what she is doing."
