A Piazzolla: Nightclub 1960 from Histoire du Tango | Chloe Chua (violin) & Kevin Loh (guitar)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 гру 2021
- In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Brazilian dance rhythm bossa nova was incorporated into Argentinian tango and these new tangos were being performed at nightclubs in Buenos Aires. Audiences rushed to the nightclubs to listen earnestly to this new sound of tango. In
Nightclub 1960, Piazzolla combined both the flashy, syncopated rhythmic elements and the melancholic expressive character from the previous two movements, Bordel and Café. He also added in additional percussive effects. Hope that you like our interpretation of this beautifully written piece. Please stay tuned to next Saturday's premiere of the last exciting movement of Histoire du Tango- Concert d'aujourd'hui (Modern-Day Concert).

National Arts Council Singapore for sponsoring this recording project.
Rin Collection for their generous loan of the violin, Peter Guarneri, Venice 1729.
Last but not least, Kevin Loh for organizing the project and the wonderful collaboration.
Out of curiosity I searched and watched about ten other covers of this piece on youtube and none of them comes close.
You can listen to Woch &Guzik Duo with Roksana Kwasnikowska if you haven't seen this yet. It's also so gooood
in the musical fields of older music, like classical music or neo tango (which piazolla defined with his compositions) we are talking about "interpretation". A cover falls more into the field of popular music, modern metal or other newer music. The difference between a cover and an interpretation is in parts, that some of the older music has no recordings (like, bethoven didn't even lived during a time, where you can record), so musicians rely completely on music sheets to reinterpreting the pieces. You can argue, that piazolla has lived in times, where his music has been actually recorded, so I am not competely telling you are wrong in calling this a "cover". My argument is, that piazolla himself interpreted his piece each time differently, with each performance. And also there is a great chance, that a classical interpreter like cloe and kevin are also relying a lot more on the sheet music and their own interpretation (maybe with the help of instructors / teachers) than on the existing records, which are also different interpretations and/or based on different interpretations.
I probably sound like a smart ass :-D and I am sorry for that.
This isn't a "piece" in the classical sense, this a tango, and tango has to have a particular driving beat. So the other arrangements are far more danceable than this.
none of them is less danceable than this.
I used to think that Gidon Kremer is the only classical musician I'd heard who really understands how to play Piazzola's music. Until now.
I'm 45, started to play the violin around 8, have listened to many, many violinists.
Never in my life have i ever heard anyone play like you. I can't help but say that you are the most exquisit violinist i've ever heard. You make me cry every time i listen to your recordings. Thank you from the deepest of my heart. Hope to have the honour to attend a live concert someday.
Thank you Chloe!
If Astor Piazzolla was alive to hear this I am sure this rendition would have brought him to tears.
You're literally the best I've ever heard. I used to play the violin when I was 5 years old and I quit at the age of ten and I never had any interest in classical music since. As of today, I am 22 years old and coming across your video moved me in such a way that I am going to start playing the violin again. I'll never become as good as you, but my dream is to one day be able to move people with my playing, the way you did to me. P.s. seeing you play in real life is for sure on my bucket list.
listen to augustin hadelichs's recording on his album histoire du tango. it is very good. his scratch tone is the best ive heard
@@dingdingbella6521 thank you for the recommendation!
Inspired action than music itself.👍
Her bowing and wrist are sooo loose and smooth. I mean its flawless.
You GO
You will be great !
and what an inspiration ❣❣❣
As a musician, honestly the best violin I heard is from Cloe. Infinite depth to her talent. That is what sets her apart. The depth to her playing. It at most only comes around once a century for a particular instrument. I usually get bored listening to violin quick, not all with Cloe. Point in case, I personally dont like Vivaldi 4 Seasons. Well, I listened to her performance of 4-seasons during an international competition over and over again. It is the depth to her playing. If I can be won over with 4 seasons then there is absolute depth and talent. Unquestionable.
You are absolutely right.
It is the sheer depth of it all that is key (together with the fact that it is made manifest without the slightest artifice, so openly and with such humility and integrity).
Chloe's playing so expressive, rich in tone and the musicality is immaculate !!! Kevin's such a good accompanist/guitarist, and I love how in every piece they both are dressed differently suited to the piece.
Chloe's dress is very stylish and extravagant !! Her playing is energetic and dramatic. I love their interpretation for each and every piece in Histoire Du Tango !! 🌸🌸🌸🌸
I agree with what you said, just a little correction, Kevin is a guitarist, not an accompanist. I don't like this way of designing a hierarchy in music, and I'm a violinist so there's no bias here.
@@FilippoSciarraViolin yes, i agree, but in this case he is the accompanist. Im a pianist so its kinda annoying to know that people usually see us as accompanists
@@FilippoSciarraViolin Hello, I didn't intend to put any hierarchy here - I was only complimenting both of them and yes I know Kevin is a guitarist. But thanks for the correction, I am a pianist too. :)
Since you mentioned her dress, here is a little fun fact.
The flower brooch 🏵 Chloe wore on her chest @3:13 is the same brooch she wore on her waist at the 2018 menuhin final. lol
Well said!
Also Kevin is a guitarist with mature taste, and a good performer!
I love Chloe because she always looks
like she handles her music so affectionately like a baby
U r a role model to me professor chloe n
U r classy and awsome
Christmas has come early, what an absolute gift to humanity.
Must be odd knowing that no one can simply like you, instead, everyone is compelled to love and adore you.
I don’t usually comment, but I feel compelled to say that this is 100% the best recording of this piece! The flare, the right amount of “harshness”, the glisses. Everything is absolutely perfect! Bravo to both Chloe and Kevin!!
personally i prefer more harshness, more like true sound from live performance. i guess the recording technicans remove a little bit of the string scratchy sound , leads to less articulation and the attack of the beginning of each notes, which i think chloe dont need that much of that, because chloe has great articulation originally and beautiful tone in live performance.
listen to augustin hadelich version of this piece
Question: How are you getting on with your new master?
Chloe's violin: She is the one for whom I have been waiting since 1729.
BRAVO Chloe!
Player of all seasons. The true proud of Singapore !
最近は、毎日のように彼女の動画を見るのが楽しみになってきました。彼女の音楽センスと演奏の技術の素晴らしさには驚かされるばかりです。
私もです。今日のはまた凄い大人のセンスでしたよね....驚くばかり。
나도 그렇게 생각해요. 어제부터 듣기 시작했는데 저도 매일 듣고 있어요.
so cool
Left me speechless
Desde España. Te admiro. Eres única. Felicidades. Eres muy guapa. Rubén Dario. From Spain. I admire you. You are unique. Congratulations. You're beautiful. Ruben Dario.
Bravo chloe de verdad me siento viajan do en el tiempo al escuchar esto
If by some supreme effort of will you manage to go an entire week without listening to this performance, you can find yourself forgetting how absolutely incredible it is.
Brilliant and beautiful! Chloe, I hear Itzhak Perlman’s artistry and tone in your playing. This performance was wonderful, and Kevin, your playing was awesome! Bravo 👏
yeah a little bit but she has her own way of playing she has her style that's really beautiful
@@lightsout630 Perlman should be erased from music history as he is part of the woman abusers with JEFFREY Epstein. How close are they? Epstein gave him use of his private jet and build a whole lodge with handicap accessibility just for him.
@@wric01 Do you have any reference to this other than a faint suspicion? Do I detect a bit of Antisemitism here?
Què belleza Piazolla en la interpretacion de estos dos prodigios.
Chloe und Kevin sind ein Traum-Team. Herrlich die helle Violine und die dunkle Gitarre. Gruß aus Berlin
As a brazilian and guitarist I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful pieces that I ever seen.
Congratulations for this brilliant performance and greets from Brazil!
man essa chloe não existe cara a garota é incrível sensacional demais velhoo
nee mano
beautifull chloe I just know to say!!!!!! I LOVE YOU
Beautiful performance 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Out of words Chloe. 🤗🥰😘 You can tell 100 stories of expressions on that violin without talking. Never saw a violinist like you. You don't let listener to get out of it. Liked your combination with Kevin.
Девочка играет и чувствует как взрослый человек. Проживает каждую ноту. Очень технично.
Безумно талантлива!
Просто восторг!
Браво!
Прекрасно, но всё же вряд ли по-взрослому, немного динамики не хватает. Одно из лучших исполнений что мне попадались - ua-cam.com/video/sg-sg-6HNd8/v-deo.html звук правда не очень запись с репетиции, зато играют свободно. И немножко более оптимистично :-) Играет преподаватель скрипки, и где-то там в комментах он пишет что на публике эту вещь они так и не играли.
@@ottokatz2502 спасибо, послушаю обязательно! ☺
@@ninas7013
Don't bother! @Otto Katz doesn't know what he or she is talking about and the performance linked to is very mediocre.
@@jackburgess274 Have you listened to it yet?
I haven't
Just forgot 😔
Thanks for warning 👍☺
@@ninas7013
Yes, I have listened to it. There are a few excellent performances of Nightclub 1960 out there, but it is not one of them.
No performances are as good as Chloe and Kevin's however!
Excited to see them both again !!! They look well dressed in that video 🌸🌸
Exquisite!
The small glissando’s add so much to the piece!! It’s beautiful ❤❤❤❤
I normally don't care so much for visual presentation, but this whole video is beautifully crafted with wonderful lighting and exquisite dress sense - perfect for the atmosphere of the piece. Goes without saying that the playing is also wonderful.
Perfect!
Its not only her music which grows even more beautiful
Wow, Chloe showing through her versatility how she is maturing. Love this. Thanks to both of you.
I hope you are happy with your life and everything you're doing, Chloe :-')
This is the 102nd comment. I am adding it because the number "101" gives me the shivers. (1984 and all that.)
To keep the comment relevant, for reasons given in the description, this is the piece in the cycle that best exemplifies the extraordinary range of Chloe's mercurial talents. The one thing I would add is that "melancholic" undersells the emotional depth that Chloe plumbs in the exquisite (repeated) slow passage.
In this passage, the mood is one of desolation. As I said in a comment on the original audio-only post of the complete Histoire, Callas at her peak could not have sung it more expressively.
Just breathtaking ❤❤❤
I just love her so much ♥️
Lets this beautiful young woman's vibrations into your soul! Your soul will thank you! 🙏 Incredible!!
I'm in love with the first minute of this. It hits the road running and just stuns you.The kid is an android. The energy that she has while playing is just the best.
Sublime!
EXTRAORDINAIRE ♥️♥️
can listen to this the whole day. greetings from switzerland o/
I have never seen such excellent guitar playing..omg
floating tones, lightness and dynamism alternate. piazolla would definitely be thrilled too 👏👏
C'est magnifique!
Brilliant!
you are awesome 🥰
Bravo ! What a passion. Very nice. Sometimes subdued and then Brazilian sparkling. Violin and guitar work magnificently together. A pleasure to listen to.
Bravo!!!! Você menina maravilhosa! Grande violinista! Parabéns! Toca com alma e o Kevin também
As a person who doesn't know classical music at all, I always amused by Chloe playing. She always show something that easy to digest and touch our heart🧡
Not really in the realm of classical music. It's a tango piece.
Chloe, you're really an inspiration ❤
OMG CAN'T WAIT
Hi Chloe and Kevin, thanks for sharing this with all of us. Looking forward to the premiere. Congratulations!
أحسنتِ ياجميلة 🥰
Fantastic! Chloe Chua and Kevin Loh. Chloe you looking pretty gorgeous in this red outfit and you your playing is always fabulous, amazing this all words less to express all of your performances. And thank you for this amazing performance. I can't wait for last movement of this piece. Again thank you Chloe and Kevin.
Brilliant, what an emotional roller coaster ride, well played u both, Chloe & Kevin!
"Son Excelentes" Tienen una sensibilidad muy Latina! Felicidades!!! Desde Guadalajara Jalisco, México.

Hermoso!🇦🇷❤️
참예쁘다.
So beautifully balanced and pure . Why is there a dislike button on this video? Pointless, lol.
وووه رهيببب
Just beautiful ....
You are amazing Chloe! Thank you for your hard work which brings us this moment with joy and happiness. Thank you again. I wish I could listen to your concert live.
Absolutely superb performance. The timing spot on tight and crisp, wonderful tone and dynamics and all beautifully recorded both visually as well as the audio sound. Thank you so much for this.
Absolutely amazing concert! Brilliant in every way.
*Editorial:
All my "essays" were composed before the live videos. I claim the right to additional remarks :)
I think, this is my favourite movement.
This is a Tour de Force of Virtosity.
While sharing the same structure of fast and slow parts with the other movements this one really blows the mind. The real virtuosity is of the composing virtuosity not the technical provess of the performer. Some will not agree with me but I prefer this kind of genuine storm of originality to any virtuose composers which I find kind of patterned, with not much suprises. Those slowing downs traversing from fire to singing like angels. No words to describe it..., just listen
3:00 I have never seen this technique before, cool.
You guys are simply amazing!!!
i hope the last mouvement next week will not be the last video for a moment
im used to watch new video of chloe every week now
Absolutely beautiful and such expressive playing from each performer! Stunning. That part towards the end with the super long legato notes was making me feel so sleepy and engraved, and then.... Surprise! Passion!
Magnificent, as usual. Bravo, Chloe.
Undoubtedly, the most emotional part of the performance was here: “02:35”
5:00
This makes me want to learn the Tango. Just an amazing duet! Bravo!
Absolutely incredible!!! I think at one point I stopped breathing watching this. Awe-inspiring!! 💕💕
Beautiful , that sound so clean and strong at the same time . A beautiful interpretation of tango, I am full of emotions. Greetings from Argentina
Magnificent music!
Lovely dress, (smile too)
Very classy couple.
(Brother and sister?)
Love watching you!
True Masters!
bravo Chloe Chua!!!!!🎻🎼♡
sublime!
👏👏this is amazing! Chloe's tone is so beautiful
everything about this girl is beautiful holy shit
珂宜越来越可爱了。

I wish that you could do a collab with a pro ballerina. It would be so cool just to see someone dance to your wonderful music
Absolutely brilliant! Kudos to Chloe and Kevin. Thanks much! Already listened to this three times today.
