Chloe Chua - Allegro-Capriccio from Locatelli's Harmonic Labyrinth
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 04. 2023
- The lively first movement from the final concerto of the set of twelve violin concertos, "L'arte del violino" by Pietro Locatelli (1695 - 1764 ). This work is notorious for its fiendishly difficult capricci. Locatelli wrote beneath the first movement's capriccio: "Laberinto armonico: 'Facilis aditus; difficilis exitus.'" - "Harmonic Labyrinth: Easy to enter; difficult to escape!"
Performed and recorded live in concert in April 2022 by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra with Singaporean violinist Chloe Chua @ChloeChuaviolinist, then aged 15.

Rising star violinist Chloe Chua makes her recording debut on Pentatone @Pentatonemusic with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, presenting Vivaldi’s Four Seasons alongside Locatelli’s Harmonic Labyrinth. With the Four Seasons, Chloe returns to a piece that’s very dear to her, as she won the joint-first prize at the 2018 Yehudi Menuhin International Competition for Young Violinists @MenuhinCompetition with her performance of “Winter”. Despite her young age, Chloe regularly plays to full houses at concerts and enjoys a huge following on social media thanks to her breathtaking technique and charismatic stage personality. This album, recorded as Artist-in-Residence of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, launches her international recording career.

I am a simple person. Will give a like when I see Chloe
Same
Same all likes to her and ❤
Always love seeing her passion and joy for music in these performances
she 🤮, my playing is better than hers 😂
Loves it when she smiles back at the members of the orchestra. It just goes to show how much she's enjoying this performance together with everyone.
She makes it look so easy. Chloe at her best.

The blogger angelcarrascosa has posted a knowledgeable review of the album that is very complimentary towards both Chloe and the SSO (Spanish original, machine translated).
"The very brave - and excellent - violinist Chloe Chua
Brave to forget about the historicisms - which are today for almost everyone the only truth - and recording, without fear of being put back and a half, about Vivaldi's Four Seasons plus Il labirinto harmonic, Op. 3/12 by Locatelli, together with the more than notable Singapore Symphony Orchestra, for the Pentatone label (CD published in March of this year). Listening to them is like rediscovering the time golden of I Musici or I Solisti Italiani, or even with the formidable interpretation of The Seasons by Gil Shaham and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra (DG 1994, almost 30 years ago!). Chloe Chua (Singapore, 2007: Yes, 16 years old!) was the winner of the Yehudi Menuhin Youth Competition violinists from Geneva, already in 2018, that is, at 11 years of age.
I'm not sure if it's her also who conducts on this album, or if it is the Orchestra that acts without conductor (with the more or less decisive opinion of the concertmaster, more or less agreed with the other instrumentalists, as is so often the norm in the chamber orchestras). In any case, whoever it is, the management has the Head well in place. Chua possesses a dazzling sound, a mechanism of Attention grabbing and bomb-proof musicality. That it doesn't add anything? new to the usual four or five decades ago? That's right. But for me it's Preferable that, to do things resoundingly well, rather than to bring often bizarre discoveries, if not of an infamous taste. And remember that the 12 Concertos op. 3 "L'arte del violino", published in 1733, by Pietro Locatelli (1695-1764) are of great historical importance in the Development of violin technique. The last of these 12 Concerts requires a virtuosity of the first order, and the teenager that concerns us It has a superlative degree. Splendid sound taking. Looking forward to learning more recordings by Chloe Chua."
Ice cold precision, fire in her game, Chloe allows us to glimpse once again what heaven must sound like
Chloe is amazing and she's just shredding on her violin with so much confidence. What an incredible young woman. Bravo!🎉
she 🤮, my playing is better than hers 😂
Her passion shows through her playing.🥰
I like when she comes to that little moment of stillness right at the end of the solo.
Happy to see such a young artist performing a less-known composer.
Chloe made this sound SO magical ✨ my ears are saying a HUGE thank you!!! 🙏❤️💖
Je deviens addicte au violon de Chloe Chua. Chloe et sa musique ont quelque chose de céleste.
The marvelous wonder young girl, CHLOE CHUA.

Oh wow! Chloe is on Spotify?!!! Thank you so much for writing this, I had no idea! I will listen to her recording immediately! This fan from France 🇫🇷 has been waiting for this since Chloe was 11. Now I will wait for her to come to Paris one day for a performance! I can't to listen to her play live!

2:47 the fire
Bravo Chloe!
You couldn't see it but it was the latest Percy Jackson book on the stand when she played this. That's how nervous she was :)
Pjo Book on the stand? Wym?
Thanks
Thank you so much!
The whole concerto was aired a few days ago on BR radio (Radio des Bayerischen Rundfunks).
It was sandwiched between recordings by Kissin and du Pre. [EDIT See my reply to this comment for more information about the broadcast that is both surprising and heartwarming!]
My German would embarrass a lobotomised gnat, but having listened to the broadcast - it is still available for streaming, in excellent audio quality - I now understand that the sandwich was no accident.
Kissin and du Pre - and in fact Mozart, who was aired after du Pre, as well - were chosen deliberately because of - and I can only suppose by way of honouring - Chloe!
The theme of the broadcast was "Sweet 16," and it was accompanied by some biographical information about her.
The host explained that the Mozart symphony was composed when he was 16, and that du Pre's performance was given when she was 16. Kissin's performance, having been issued in 1987, was I think taken to have been given when he was 16 too (although in fact the performance had been given earlier in the year, when he was still 15).
So so beautiful!!!!
Her playing is so beautiful, and energetic, I'm a bystander, but I feel her potential, and invisible effort. : )
Just whao!
Beautiful!!!!
The capriccio here -- #23 of Locatelli's set of 24 -- is performed by Oistrakh (on YT) as an encore.
He doesn't perform it with anything like Chloe's fire and exultation though.
The capriccio of the third movement, #24 of the set, is even more spectacular, and Chloe's incredible performance of it - which I have had the pleasure of watching many times - alone is worth the 6SGD SSOLounge entrance fee for the whole concert.
She does really perform beautifully everytime and it's a joy to listen (Also the orchestra is fantastic). I'm glad that the SSO has this amazing platform from where to watch the concert online among others. It's a great chance for those that can't attend live
is this 23 as hard as paganini caprices or it's still easier?
@@ElsweyrDiego
I am not a violinist.
However, based on what I have read I believe that taken as a whole, Locatelli's 24 caprices are easier than Paganini's, but #23 and #24 are the hardest of the set and are of comparable difficulty.
Very nice. Greetings from the Czech Republic
Chloe sensei!
Great 👏👏
ありがとうございます！
Thank you!
Perfect.
Brilliant! Bravo!
Princess Chloe
blessed girl has something special
Excelente...Felicidades
2:47 Epic Solo Shred Metal Violin 😁
She's better then any of the adults
I am not really into classical music, but it's different story if Chloe is the one who play it..
D MAJOR IS 1ST STEP INTO MAGIC , LIKE FALL INTO THE RABBIT HOLE BUT SEEMS LIKE SLOW WALKING
fantastisch! 😮😀💐💜🙏
Kudos to Chloe and the SSO for a lovely performance. Especially for Chloe, the accuracy and dexterity on the fingerboard and transitions is wonderful to watch. Chloe's ability to produce beautiful baroque music with a modern violin is a special gift. I hope she will want to explore Bach in the near future because it will open more windows to developing her unique voice...and we will all be grateful beneficiaries. Thank you SSO for uploading.
🌹 wonderful 🌹
Es tan hermosa y buena pianista que uno se olvida del gran autor que fue Scarlatti ❤❤❤
Terrific.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you both for a tremendous performance❤😊
We Love You Chloe🌹❤
Nice !!
Bravo🎉
رائعة للغاية
I love your beautiful playing ❤❤❤ u are very beautiful every day ❤❤❤❤
Wow this is amazing Chloe congrats
>>"Locatelli wrote beneath the first movement's capriccio: "Laberinto armonico: 'Facilis aditus; difficilis exitus.'"
This is what Wiki says too, but is it true?
If would be odd. if true. As others have said, the caprice #23 isn't much of a labyrinth.
It would also be in conflict with the only score I have seen, in which Locatelli's inscription appears at the head of the whole concerto, not under the first movement caprice (#23).
For the inscription to cover the whole concerto makes more sense. The climactic and even more formidable caprice in the third and final movement (#24) is certainly labyrinthine!

👏👏👏bravo chloe❤️

Let's hang on things that make life worth living fans, just like survivors basic instinct facing death threats, before death... God created life, seems that some people just can not accept real facts, music is regenerating, let's invite everybody love life instead
No doubt, Asian orchestras and musicians can at least match and often overtake western classical performances, but when will they have more composers creating global classics played by their western counterparts? How I’d love to see this happen on a wider scale!
It is happening already.
E.g. Unsuk Chin is one of the living composers that Western orchestras most highly esteem and most frequently perform and record.
@@jackburgess274 Can’t recall this name, but I’ll look it up. Thank you!
@@krisjustin3884
Unsuk Chin's first violin concerto is especially wonderful, and I hope that one day Chloe will perform it.
Of the videos of it on YT I recommend this one (even though it is audio only).
czcams.com/video/_RpKnvRd3J8/video.html
Her opera "Alice in Wonderland" is remarkable and there are some fine productions on YT.
Coincidentally, SSO has just announced its new season, in which Chloe will perform the Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto by Chen Gang/He Zhanhao and, in two other concerts Paganini #1 and Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante)!
@@jackburgess274 Very kind of you to suggest this audio along with sending this information. With thanks.
@@jackburgess274 Jack, I am deeply impressed with your broad knowledge, and your generosity in sharing it... Can't wait to attend the Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto.... Luckily, I got the tickets for both nights...

Locatelli, not a good composer. His pieces are difficult to play. Why spend time practicing them when the rewards are so little. But if you have talent like Chloe Chua, that's a different story.
