Kyung-Wha Chung performs Walton violin concerto with Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by André Previn. The occasion was William Walton's 80th birthday gala at Royal Festival Hall, London with the composer himself and princess Alexandra present in the Royal box.
Ms Chung's encounter with William Walton goes back 10 years prior, in 1972. She was recording Walton concerto with Previn to mark the composer's 70th anniversary, and with no prior notice, Walton visited the recording session to encourage the young violinist.
Walton was duly impressed, and later commented about her in his letter to Walter Legge, the legendary record producer , 'Superb! As good as Heifetz or Francescatti'.
I. Andante tranquillo 0:49
II. Presto capriccioso alla napolitana 11:37
III. Vivace 18:10 - 음악

Walton himself might be very surprised by Ms. Chung's superb rendition. This is a historical performance. I am in total awe. I have been a fan of her for a long time, but this rendition gave me a total shock. Thank you, thank you so much, @twofinedays, for the many great videos of Ms. Chung's rare performances.
She's wonderful. Wonderfully disciplined. Not a waisted movement. Totally focused into her playing. What a wonderful musician.
와우! 박진감이 넘치네요😮
This historical performance by Kyung Wha Chung is impressive and the most beautiful ever, I doubt anyone can top it. In the video you had another where country sounds are heard, it was also beautiful.
what beautiful playing and stunning dress...
Chung brings such intensity, passion, and drama to everything she plays. One can register that just by listening, but It's really exhilarating to watch her do it. Thanks for this very valuable post.
The best version I’ve ever heard
Ignoring for a second the solo violin part and considering the work as a whole, it’s an absolutely earth shattering masterpiece IMHO. All three of Walton’s string concerti are like that
22:22 was so subtle but immediately effective, i will never recover
이렇게 민첩하고 똑똑한 연주 할 수 있는 사람은 드물게 있지만
정경화 선생님 연주는 무언가 더 들어있다는 느낌이 들어요
한 음 한 음 감동이에요♥
RIP André Pevin
These edifying moments of English music...
She was be just music. All made one of harmony.
Wow! The audio fidelity much improved over previous postings, it sounds almost as good as it did on March 29th, 1982. Thanks to twofinedays for reposting this performance. It reminds us that, while other violinists have matched Chung's technical ability to produce sounds from the instrument, none (at least since the advent of recorded music) have matched her artistic prowess at playing the instrument in the service of music. She, compared to those others, has brought me closest to an empathetic state of personal intimacy with the great human spirits of composers long deceased.
My pleasure. This is from the new DVD source, which was published a couple of years ago.
It was the Kyung Wha Chung/Andre Previn recording from the early 1970's that introduced me to what became one of my top 3 favourite violin concertos. Absolutely love this work.
@@twofinedays Are the audio errors at 18:54 and 19:00 (roughly) just part of the DVD source?
@@macchupicchu3 Unfortunately it is. Probably there was a damage to the master tape. I have a VHS tape version of the same concert, probably recorded when it was aired, and there's no such clipping of the sound.
@@twofinedays Is that the source of the first video of this performance you uploaded? Because I remember that one had some interesting audio distortions (no clipping though)
Thank you thank you thank you :D I love this performance!
She's so good with this piece. It so fits her style.
I've always felt she plays this concerto just a tad too muscular. It's basically a very lyrical piece. But what do I know?
@@frankstein9982 It's lyrical for sure, but as with lots of Romantic concerti (and I consider this Romantic, albeit very late), the composer has thrown in lots of virtuosic passagework which I believe the player should handle in a muscular way. In my opinion, she's lyrical where she needs to be, muscular where she needs to be. But, anyhoo, it's so subjective. There's no right or wrong here. I'm just saying her approach works for me, but I respect that it might not for you.
it totally works for me!😆@@iCyclone
Unbeatable in all her choices🔝🔝
30年ほど前にレコードで狂ったように聞いておりました。
II: 11:37
III: 18:17
here she is as sharp as a razor blade!
Meaning sharp rather than flat? 00HHH. Or not? =-)
Yes. No non-sense here. Such a pleasure and I love Walton so much.
Walton at 30:25 keeps saying wow several times lol. Can any lip reading expert tell us what Walton and the princess are saying? Thanks!
Seems to me (I am no lip reading expert) that she says "Tell me, when did you write that?"
Doesn't look like "wow" to me (at most, inconclusive), and it wouldn't be a very Walton thing to say.
@@daviddickinson8059 I don't see "tell me", but I think you may be right about the rest.
The last one I think: "She is brilliant!" True!
19:02
22:05
She's playing w/o score....
of course she does. Concert soloists a l w a y s play from memory.
Good old Princess Alexandra, eh?The batsmans Holding... Etc.
Bruno Walter died in 1962, so it must have been to someone else that Walton wrote his praise about Chung.
Oh right. I should get hold of a copy of the published Walton's letters to clarify. Thank you for the correction.
The quote you mention is from a letter W. W sent to record producer Walter Legge, in 1978 ;)
@@prahda At least another Walter then haha. Thank you very much again.
29:00
Glamour boy Warren greene as leader.
i don't know why the second movement always made me think of some kind of orange mamalade flavor.😅
I'm interested to know if anyone else listening and commenting has followed along with the score. There are some quite important details which I feel are passed over in this interpretation. That matters to the overall meaning of the music.
Probably. I can't comment because I didn't read the score. All I can say is Chung was Walton's favourite interpreter of his work.
