Sarah Chang’s Carmen Fantasy

By | October 13, 2007


Sometime ago, my younger brother gave me a copy of Sarah Chang‘s Debut album. The album has, among others, Sarasate‘s Carmen Fantasy, from Bizet’s opera Carmen. I love the liveliness of Carmen the opera, but before Sarah Chang, I had never listened to Sarasate’s violin Fantasy. I instantly loved it when I listened to Sarah Chang’s rendition. I recently stumbled on the video on Youtube and I was surprised at how young she was when she did the album.

Sarah Chang was born in 1980 in Pennsylvania, the USA, of Korean descent. Her father is a violinist and her mother a composer. She started learning the violin pretty early, and auditioned for Juilliard at the age of 6. Her debut album, Debut, was released in 1991. I jave just seen her recording, along with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons on iTunes and I am thinking of buying it. Whoever gets the chance should check her out, at least the Youtube video; I promise, you will simply love her.
