I just went to a violinconcerto of the Korean woman composer Unsuk Chin (born 1961)who also get flowers. Her violinconcerto was played by german violinist Viviane Hagner. Is she a candidate for beauty in music or do you think, if you had heard her, that also her music is beauty. Ok I am in a hurry beause I have a stringrehaersal for symfonie 5 of Bruckner. But the picture are more important than my text.
Her wensite is: http://www.vivianehagner.de and she has 2 violinconcerto's on her repertoirelist I didn't know: Stamitz and Pintscher.

Hi Bram, she is very beautiful...have you heard her very first recording? The Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky concertos? The Mendelssohn is top-notch!

i met her a few years ago at a chamber music festival. she played great, and was just as pretty in person as on her pictures. she seemed to be a lovely person, too.

Hi Jon. Fine her Mendelssohn was good on cd, but I know the piece too well, so I am not interested in her playing. I am more interested in her original violinconcertorepertoirelist with a lot of rarities, just like Tasmin Little and Elmar Oliveira. That's the reason why I went to her for that strange v.c (If she had played Mendelssohn in e, I guess not the other in re, I would be at home and playing on my cd-player an obscure violinconcerto). If a great violinist like Joshua Bell would play with the Wiener Philharmoniker with Gergiev plays Mendelssohn, I would only go that concert for social reasons with a group or a date. Than I rather like to go to an average conservatorystudent who plays with a bad and false amateurorchestra a rare violinconcerto I never had heard before in the concerthall.
