  • Voice of an Angel, Vocalise : Rachmaninoff
    Timothy Chooi, violin/violon
    Janelle Fung, piano
    "Vocalise" is a song by Sergei Rachmaninoff, composed and published in 1915 as the last of his 14 Songs or 14 Romances, Op. 34. Written for high voice (soprano or tenor) with piano accompaniment, it contains no words, but is sung using any one vowel of the singer's choosing.
    This recording is exemplified on the violin and piano. The violin cannot produce any words, and therefore performs this work very well. There are emotions of loneliness, sadness, and confusion, but despite these intense feelings, the piece maintains a meditative overarching character.
    It starts with the piano playing a repetitive vamp, and the violin enters with a lonely but distinctive voice. The voice of the violin paints the image of the voice in a graveyard. As the piece develops the violin changes its facade, and becomes intensely emotional with flavors of sorrow, crying and mourning before resolving in a ghostly voice at the end.

    I agree with everyone that this is a fantastic performance, however, I want to particularly draw attention to the spectacular pianist who is a perfect accompanist. Those who have ever played a duet know what I mean.

      Violinist here, who appreciates very much the fine playing of both and the ensemble they achieve together, but thinks that the term 'accompanist' does not do justice to the role the piano -- and the pianist -- play in this work.

    If you are not a violinist you have no idea how difficult it is to perform this relatively simple piece with the intensity and passion that Chooi does. It sounds so easy but only a few top artists of our generation have the skills needed to deliver a performance like this one by Chooi. He is truly one of the greats of our time.

      Rachmaninoff was so inspired when he composed this piece called "Vocalise". Thimoty's my favorite playing it.
      Yes, it's a very challenging music, not easy at all.

    I first came across Timothy on Facebook. Just needing to hear it once, this perfect smooth tone is what immediately mesmerized me, that made me immediately followed your page in order to be fed more posts, and subscribed to your Spotify playlist. And at the current moment, trying to think of a peaceful and nurturing music to calm me brain enough for sleep, your name is what I first thought of to search. (For me, I sleep with the music not because it's boring, but because it's so calmingly beautiful and I am peaceful enough to retreat into my own world)
