Saint-Saens Violin Sonata in D minor, Op. 75
III. Allegro moderato
IV. Allegro molto
First Prize Winner of the 2011 Young Concert Artists International Auditions and the 2009 International Violin Competition Sion-Valais in Switzerland, 22-year-old Taiwanese-American violinist Paul Huang is already recognized for his eloquent music making, effortless virtuosity, and compelling stage presence. Recipient of the 2012 Helen Armstrong Violin Fellowship of YCA, his recital debuts this season are the opening events of the Young Concert Artists Series in New York at Merkin Hall and in Washington, D.C. at the Kennedy Center's Terrace Theater.
Upcoming engagements this season include concerto performances with the Hilton Head Symphony, the Louisville Orchestra, the National Taiwan Symphony, and the Bilbao Symphony in Spain, and recitals at the Buffalo Chamber Music Society, the University of Florida, the University of Alabama and at the Tannery Pond Concert Series (NY). Mr. Huang also performs as a guest artist in Korea at the Great Mountains Music Festival.
Mr. Huang has also performed as soloist in Hungary with the Budapest Dohnányi Symphony, with the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional in Mexico City, and with the Taipei Symphony in Taiwan. He has been heard in recitals at the Stradivari Museum in Cremona, Italy, the National Concert Hall in Taiwan, and at the Museé du Louvre in Paris as well as music festivals including the Mineria Music Festival in Mexico City, the Moritzburg Festival in Germany, and the Sion Music Festival in Switzerland, and as a guest with the Formosa Quartet at Wigmore Hall in London.
As a chamber musician, he has collaborated with notable instrumentalists including Shlomo Mintz, Gil Shaham, Nobuko Imai, Roberto Diaz, Jan Vogler, Myung-Wha Chung, and Frans Helmerson.
Born in Taiwan, Mr. Huang received his first violin lesson at the age of seven. Since entering the Juilliard Pre-College at 14, he has continued studies at the school with Hyo Kang and I-Hao Lee. He received the 2008 Juilliard Achievement Award and the 2009 Chi-Mei Cultural Foundation Arts Award for Taiwan's Most Promising Young Artists. Mr. Huang's instrument is on generous loan from the Chi-Mei Cultural Foundation in Tainan, Taiwan. The Foundation supports young Taiwanese artists of exceptional talent by lending them precious antique instruments. He is extremely grateful for the opportunity to play such an outstanding instrument.
Paul Huang is outstanding-stunning use of the bow-but Jessica Osborne is especially remarkable. Such color and subtlety. She finds an incredible balance with him.
Absolutely astounding performance. Impeccable chamber music playing. Paul and Jessica both are truly glorious.
I page turned for this exact duo playing this sonata back in 2012 in Birmingham, AL when I was a music student there. During this last movement the page turning is an exhilarating experience!
Merveilleux duo, équilibre musicalité virtuosité, entente...un régal!
A beautiful musician duo! I hope they perform together for many years! Like Vengerov and Papian, or Yuri Bashmet and Muntian!
Some people just fine their musical partner and it's wonderful!
wow, your pianist was AMAZING!! so we're you, but you have an AWESOME accompanist
Perfect, perfect, perfect! Amazing ensemble, technique and musicianship! So inspiring.
Mr. Huang has such a delicate touch and stunning virtuosity at about 3:00...Jessica is perhaps another Martha Argerich. Thanks for your hard won talent. A joy to the ear and eye.
Unbelievable, so passionate.. brought tears to my eyes.
Proust wrote about a fictional sonata (by Vinteuil) extensively in Swann's Way inspired by this one (especially the adagio).
With Jessica Osborne piano. Both just top fabulous ! ! Impeccable technique, very beautiful ensemble playing. And exciting !
He's a fine violin player - with every note in place and every phrase dutifully outlined for the listener....
Beautiful, graceful, powerful. Both artists are superb!
This is the best Piano-Violin duo I have listened to so far. Everything that the pianist is doing in this video completes everything that the violinst is doing.
There is so much greatness in this playing. I pray for their continued success in their musical endeavors because it's really powerful and very moving. Fantastic!
Beautifullly delicate playing by both players. Marvelous transitions between moods. A great treat to discover new talent.
This is one of the most amazing things that I have heard in a very long time.
The pianist is amazing as well! bravo!
I enjoyed the performance ! very talented duo and they complement each other wonderfully.
Just love your absolute control of the bow and sense of passion!!
Impeccable!!! My favorite interpretation of this piece is Sarah Chang's, but Paul Huang's is also way up there! Bravo!!
Extraordinary!!
Violin voice is specifically!
i love it
여전히 한달에 한번씩은 들으러 오는..
This is amazing.
Beautiful.!
Great Performance! Congratulation guys!
Paul, you are...well, I'm humbled.
it would seem from the comments that the pianist totally stole the show! And she did ;)
She may have stole the show on looks and personality, but his artistry and interpretation were second to none,
Saint-Saëns himself seems to have been a marvellous pianist, so I don't expect he thought of himself as a "mere" accompanist in such a work. Jessica Osborne is damn good, and they both really make something of this sonata.
BRAVO
very sweet playing
BRAVO!
Great music, amazing performance and wonderful camera. A treasure for sure!
Bravo!
Great.👏
I’ve always pondered how difficult it must be to perform such a difficult piano accompaniment. Not only is part technically difficult, you must play it while following and keeping in time with the violinist. Like so many violin sonatas, it really is a violin and piano sonata.
that's why I like 'em, sonatas that is
For piano and violin
Sonatas are considered chamber music, the duo parts are equally important. The piano is not an “accompaniment”, and the pianist is not an accompanist. The correct term is “collaborator”.
Who‘s here again because new released album?
crazy.......
It's great playing. But I feel it was played too fast, which in turn makes even the beautiful melody in the movement sound rushed rather than reposed.
My favourite recording is by Heifetz I think it was with the pianist Emanuel Bay. Heifetz did record it again years later in stereo, but it wasn't the Heifetz of old.
Mvt 4: 3:43
Proust's 'petite phrase' - could it be 4:45 onwards ? If it is indeed the Saint-Saëns sonata at all.
En toda la sonata esa 'phrase'
"bravo". in the recording I know of this: the speed this movement is played at almost kills the expressiveness of the first, but there's expression throughout here.
With what violin is playing..?Is not the same he played with in Sion competition,in 2009?
It's the Wieniawski Guarneri del Gesu
From the waist and the head of the violin you can easily tell that it is not a del Gesu. Look at the orange varnish of the violin, I don't think that the typical color of a del Gesu. I also wonder what the violin is...
@@user-hudi It's definitely a Strad. I just don't know which year this one is. I'll also look it up because I had the very same question. I might be 7 years too late but it's always good to have an answer for those coming back to the video and future viewers!
Well I've looked through the entire Tarisio archive and several books and can't seem to find a Stradivari that matches (other than proportions, I'm looking for that particular 5mm-or-so blemish that appears near the purfling on the treble side, visible at 2:26 / 2:27 ) All I can say is that it matches the moulds that Strad used from 1667 to 1698. I thought it was a golden period Strad or a particularly famous Strad but it isn't that I'm aware of! I might look into it more, but only if I have A LOT of time on my hands ;)
He should try to find interpretations of his own instead of copying great violinists
wow, your pianist was AMAZING!! so we're you, but you have an AWESOME accompanist
This is a sonata. There's no "accompanist" here. As someone who plays both violin and piano myself (strictly amateur, mind you), I would say that both performers played beautifully and demonstrated great technique and musicality. In a live performance, the sound of the violin is more penetrating, and this is not always conveyed well in a recording of a live performance.
