Thank you so much, it was a fun experience playing this tricky concerto!
👍👍
I hope that music making always remains a joyful experience for you. You have a wonderful gift to share with others.
you're so beautiful omg
My daughter and I were at the flute fare on West 83rd street yesterday and we saw you perform with the others downstairs. You moved both my daughter and I to tears with the beauty of your playing. She says you inspire her to practice harder on her flute.
Fun
I can’t believe she started at the age of 11, she’s so good
this girl is going to grow up and become the next Jasmine Choi! wonderful playing
she is ALREADY, but Melody Shen.
Isn’t she already grown up?
She is going to be Melody Shen. Yes, you are right. She'll be as great as Jasmine Choi, but she has already her own personality. A superb musician, and an equally great human being.
Incredible!! Most flutists don’t even dare to try this concerto!
the weekend playing the basoon in the back:

epic comment.
This girl is incredibly good she should audition for a professional orchestra when she gets older.
I’m a bass trombonist and I never really hear flutes that much. But this was beautiful
Ive been playing trombone for 11 years (bass trombone for 8 years)
currently finishing up high school
Guys u don’t even understand how impressive Melody is
From this recording, I think I have an idea!😄😄
She is a superb human being. I watched a video of hers about an NYO2 tour in the Dominican Republic, and her comments and remarks about her experiences really impressed me immensely. She is so sagacious and generous.
OMMMGG🥺🥺
This is Kachaturian's violin concerto actually but on flute
Well the arrangement was requested by khachaturian hence it’s name
👌
W o w
❤
Tengo mucho celos tocas muy hermoso!
Amazing but so destroying of self-esteem as a flute player.
BRAVO, Melody😍
😊

For comparison the same movement with David Oistrakh. Frankly, I like now better the flute transcription thanks to Melody Shen. ua-cam.com/video/KGtrkHG5ZN8/v-deo.html
i didnt know ludwig played the viola
LMAO
Love the flute version but the main problem with it is in the breathing. Specially in the first movement the pace is so fast that the flute player unavoidably most of the times "enter" a bit late leaving a slight "unsavory" taste to the listeners ears. Violin players don't have that problem.
Ah yes! Most violinists have impeccable breath control, but all too few have the intonation and bowing skills to tackle a piece like this without making us wince.
She only 15!
the beginning kinda reminds me of the sims lol

Aram Khachaturian's VIOLIN Concerto in D minor is a VIOLIN concerto in three movements composed in 1940. It was composed for David Oistrakh. Why did you call it Flute Concerto?!
It’s an arrangement for flute written by Jean-Pierre Rampal and Khachaturian together. So it’s basically a flute concerto, too.
@@thoregulden4545Thank you.
OMG MELODY BEST FLAUTIST SINCE JETHRO TULL
😂😂😂😂😂
Playing Like a Asiatic robot, everything learned perfectly but no soul 😢. Music have to have some "dirt" , even if she follows all signs it s even not close. The composition is great but she is far from a good performance
Hmm I can personally hear the musicality.
@@bennyksmusicalworld
Me too.
@@flllutiste
Well sir....most of the people here dont agree with you.
"Asiatic robots"....how dare you !!
Shame on you !
@@willemoosterom2438 From my opinion, it's a fact. Despite the large production of classical musicians in China and their undeniable technical virtuosity, some believe that their musicality does not yet match that of European musicians. This could be due to cultural and historical differences, as Western musical traditions have a long history of stylistic refinement and interpretation. However, these Chinese musicians continue to progress rapidly, and the richness of their work suggests definitely a promising future.
@@flllutiste
As far as I know Melody Shen is an
american girl.
Bravo!!
so good !!!
Bravo!
Bravo!!
