Chloe is playing the piece that my father loved to play on his violin more than 50 years ago before he passed away. I dont play violin, and the violin has been left in an unplayable state for more than 50 years now. Chloe plays this piece infinitely better than my father did. However, now I consider to restore his violin just to honor his memory.Thank you Chloe for playing this beatiful piece.

This deceptively simple piece is the litmus test for identifying a great musician who plays the violin. The opening passage must float into the room on a breeze. Chloe Chua shows how.

It’s like she goes to a different place mentally and the music just pours out without trying. A true genius.

[@zerensukaya9701]

Im started the learning violin 5 months ago. And my life view is completely changed. If you have idea like "too late, i can't learn an insturement now" pls don't do that guys. Just buy a violin or piano whatever you want and just start right now
Because life has much more meaning with music.
(Btw sorry about my english, im not native)

[@rofo2107]

After 20 years of playing piano I developed perfect pitch. I suspect it has to do something with the fact that I started to play violin. Now I'm able to recognize a violin player with and without perfect pitch. Chloe Chua has very fine perfect pitch.
If you want to know what I hear, the orchestra sounds as a "cloud" of tones roughly between a=438-440 Hz. They are not consistent and they slightly change tuning during the composition. People without perfect pitch do so. Chloe keeps playing at 438 Hz since the first note, no matter what orchestra is doing. Only musicians with perfect pitch are able to play like this. Listen to it again and again. Chloe's first tone is slightly lower then orchestra. Can you hear it ?

That e-string. Mellow, yet expressive with full tone. wow. Chloe does not play the violin - she brings it to life and it sings to us.

Massenet Meditation recently become one of the favourite on my playlist. Chloe's version is seriously the most smoothing and touching one that i've ever heard. I watched many other violinists playing this but either they play too fast or not as emotional as this. Maxim Vengerov 's rendition is also very good which i have listened to it many times. I really love both Chloe and Vengerov's rendition. Interpretations are different but both sound so good that i can listen to it for the whole day.

[@kSmolarkowa]

[@Irys1997]

She makes everything seem so easy and effortless, but it is not, even for her. I can't imagine the countless hours of grind she puts into her work to appear to be so "effortless" in performance. She has the potential to be #1 in the world when she matures, and seems to be being managed correctly to avoid burnout for now. I hope, that is, at least what we can tell from an outsider perspective

From the first note to the last.....simply exudes pure emotion and connection to the music piece. Such maturity and interpretation of the music shows that Chloe will only get better. She has won a lifetime fan in me! (And to twoset as well for opening my eyes to this musical wonder!)

[@iwasagasman]

Surely, this is just out as near to perfection as it's posible to get. The unhurried timing, just hanging on to some notes for a fraction of a secomd before smoothly going on to the next shos an interpretation of the music way beyond her years. Like so many others. this performance brings tears to my eyes every time I watch . I'm left with a comforting feeling that the world hasn't quite gone totally mad -- Not yet. ---- Oh -- And that smile. --- Beautiful, just beautiful.

[@betty_privvxqtx]

was about to like the video but realised I already liked it before 😂

[@gatesurfer]

I’m not sure whether this is by accident or by design, but my playlist is set up so that Chloe first plays the Wagner Romanz and then she plays this. It is without a doubt the most sublime, most soothing 10 minutes of music I’ve ever experienced. I often have to watch them twice. Chloe’s playing is so wonderfully calming that I close my eyes, but then I remember how graceful she is as she moves with the music, so I have to watch her the second time.
I have to go pet my cat now…

[@minhuang2022]

天才是天生的，是难得一遇的，是普通人每天拉40小时琴或400小时琴也练不出来的。这种小提琴琴音之美妙动听只能出自一分纯真与童心，是心灵受到严重污染的成年人拉不出来的。真担心Chloe 2018的水平还能保持多久？Chloe 2018的琴音让人仿佛回到100万年前的大自然中，远离今天被严重污染了的人类生存环境和被严重扭曲了的人性。但愿音乐长久，纯真永留人间。

Yes, perhaps.
Whatever the explanation though, the fact is that it is easier to appreciate how extraordinarily good Chloe is - absolutely, or in comparison with others - if one listens in the dark or with eyes closed, so as to better aid one's focus on the pure sound.

Perhaps you feel as you do because Chloe is more faithful to the religiosity of the piece, which Massenet marks "andante religioso."

@@agkdjsdjkd
I think Chloe's personal spirituality really helps in this piece (and in her performance of The Lark Ascending too).
But more generally, I agree that her genius - her sensitivity, musicality and emotional/spiritual depth - is most evident where the tempo is slow. From Vivaldi through to Piazzolla, and whether sacred or secular, her adagios and andantes are gold standard, and truly outstanding in comparison to absolutely anyone.

[@agkdjsdjkd]

@@jackburgess274 agreed! i haven't heard a lot of her other works in depth, but for sure the slow tempo here at least i feel really lets her emotional depth show through
