5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful..., October 24, 1999

This review is from: Lalo: Symphonie espagnole/ Saint-Saens: Violin Concerto No. 3 (Audio CD)

I just recently went to a concert and heard Chee-Yun play the Sibelius Violin Concerto. I was amazed at her tone and technique. She was autographing CDs at the intermission, so I bought this CD and had it autographed because I love Symphonie Espagnole and I had heard that Chee-Yun's SE was great. Well, it was great. I also have a CD with Ruggerio Ricci's SE and I thought that Chee-Yun's was better. She played the piece with almost the same speed as Ricci, yet she still kept the sweet tone that I think Ricci sometimes sacrifices. Her Saint-Saens No. 3 was also very good. I would recommend this CD to anyone who loves beautiful violin pieces.

This review is from: Lalo: Symphonie espagnole/ Saint-Saens: Violin Concerto No. 3 (Audio CD)

These two compositions are well known even to casual acquaintances of the violin literature, but Chee-Yun gives very satisfying performances. Technical polish but sweet and sentsitive musicianship. At the moment it's been getting a lot of time in my CD rotation, and I never tire of the performances.
Of course the Franceso Ruggeri violin doesn't hurt... Haha, just kidding...
