Chung Kyung-Wha Complete Decca Recordings (19CD)(+DVD)

Only rarely does a single musician personify music for an entire country... Kyung Wha Chung has long represented Western music for her fellow South Koreans. Since the early 1970s she has had an almost sacred aura among her own people, and her Decca recordings have carried her art to members of the Korean diaspora all round the world. Tully Potter (CD booklet) Kyung Wha Chung's dazzling and probing artistry has made her one of classical music's most acclaimed performers. Lauded for her passion, her musicality and the intense excitement that she brings to her performances, Chung's uniquely expressive interpretations of the violin literature have established her as an artist of the very highest stature. In her long career, Kyung Wha Chung has appeared regularly as a soloist with the world's most prestigious orchestras, working with top conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Daniel Barenboim, Sir Simon Rattle, Andr Previn, Bernard Haitink, Riccardo Muti and Sir Georg Solti. As a recitalist, she has collaborated with an extraordinary list of important artists including Radu Lupu, Krystian Zimerman, Peter Frankl and Itamar Golan and as a member of the Chung Trio, with her brother, conductor/pianist Myung-Whun Chung, and her sister, cellist Myung Wha Chung. On 2nd December 2014, Kyung Wha Chung returns to the Royal Festival Hall for her first UK appearance in over a decade. As the Southbank Centre website eagerly anticipates After recent triumphs in her native Korea and in China, Chung is set to electrify London all over again
