What a performance!! What a quality sound !!,
By Young-seok Park (Provo, UT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bruch: Violin Concerto /Scottish Fantasia / Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto (Audio CD)
This is Ms. Chung's a historical recording and legacy for all of us. You will easily recognize her unique way of redition. I really enjoyed her Bruch: I'm sure no one can immitate her style about those two works. I also liked the 3rd movement of Mendelssohn: pretty vivid and precise.The sound quality is superb: more analog sound: warm and soft. Wow... 96Khz/24bit! Keep up the great job, Decca!! I think I don't have to want DVD-Audio if I can get this quality always. Why don't you collect Decca's legends starting this wonderful CD?

Out of control,
By blurrulz@hotmail.com (Seoul, Korea) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bruch: Violin Concerto /Scottish Fantasia / Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto (Audio CD)
Kyung-Wha Chung tends to be too edgy, histrionic and out of control. She is just a nice violinist, not a good musician. That's why she can't try Mozart until now. I want her sound to be warmer and more controlled like Young-Uck Kim or David Oistrakh.

Definitive Mendelssohn, phenomenal poetry in the Bruch(s),
By Passionate "eclectic_collector" (Stoke on Trent, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bruch: Violin Concerto /Scottish Fantasia / Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto (Audio CD)
...I feel obliged to say something, as I believe this is one of the outstanding must-have cds of recent years.Kyung Wha Chung cut these legendary recordings in the 70s (Bruch) and early 80s (Mendelssohn), with fantastic analogue sound and outstanding orchestral rapport. She plays the Mendelssohn with a pace which brings out the sheer joy and beauty of the music, free of lingering exaggerated sentimentality. If ever there was a modern masterpiece, this recording is one. The sound is sweet and virile, and in this as in so many of her recordings she plays as if she is capturing a live performance, not the stereotyped studio. There is a spontaneity so often lacking in studio recordings, which doesn't fade with repeated hearings. The Bruch Concerto is also wonderfully fresh, a real breath of life in a much-recorded work. (Astonishingly, she plays this work even more beguilingly later with Klaus Tennstedt, coupled with the Beethoven, another must-have recording). I first heard this Kempe collaboration of the Bruch Concerto and Scottish Fantasy when it was released on vinyl, long ago played into scratched oblivion as was the way with my favourite LPs. Hearing the CD is just magical. Even the fabulous Heifetz Mendelssohn (Munch) and Bruch (Sargent) recordings don't eclipse Kyung Wha Chung's legendary performances, which are appropriately remastered on the Decca Legends label
