Anyone else coming here after Ray Chen said Leia is not a prodigy? I came here not knowing who Leia is and just witnessed the best performance of this piece for me. I could not stop listening. Thank you, Leia! I wish you all the best and that you continue to bring your enlightened music to our world!

I am convinced this young lady has it within her to become the greatest of all the great violinists.A big statement yes,but she is something very,very,very special.

That glissando tho ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I’m covered in goosebumps from the sheer genius of her performance 🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻

[@jpartis]

Being this good at 15, it's scary to think how far she will go and how formidable a player she will become in 5 to 10 years!

[@adsz3016]

Such command and presence. Leia rocks!

[@sentos5386]

Like always again a stunning performance from the one and only LEIA ZHU.

[@vidyabhosale7539]

I have heard this piece countless times but have never enjoyed it so much! The wonderful musicianship of Miss Zhu!

[@samettoptan53]

Many many congratulations young lady! Looking forward to following your career for the years to come

Speechless, what a super star!!!!

[@powerfulcorinne]

[@sarklarmmukemmel1244]

I have never felt so blessed as to witness this amazing performance. words cannot express my gratitude. 👏👏👏👏👏

Rattle, Miss Zhu and LSO, what a team! 👏👏👏

It was once said of Heifetz that players of his calibre emerged once every a hundred years, of the calibre of Josef Hassid once every two hundred. We are now seeing the fruits of Leia Zhu's outstanding infant precocity. Her command of the instrument already surpasses that of her front-rank predecessors and most if not all of her contemporaries. A gift beyond measure, cultured by hard work and dedication, and inspirational on so many levels.
