Types of people reacting to prodigies:
Eddy: *impressed*
Brett: *depressed*

[belmarmom]

Chloe comes across as less intense than the other violinists. She loves what she's doing and her cheerful personality comes through when she plays. She's a pleasure to listen to.

[cello]

You guys should talk to your childhood teachers.

[Jaradis]

It's really nice seeing two professionals that are so willing to say how great someone else is without trying to prop themselves up at all. Much respect.

[beyedoc]

Chloe's runs are so clean that they literally sound like one note gradually changing in pitch, especially in the video with you guys playing Paganiniana. 🤯

[meghanh]

The fact that Chloe also played the piece without any squeaks or wrong notes is beyond incredible and talented.

[interroga-te-ipsum]

I love Maria's playing so much. Paganini suits her so perfectly. Her fire makes Paganini really sound like a violin played by the devil. So accurate, so agressive, so scathing. Listening to that literally gets my heartrate through the roof in a matter of seconds. Panic of perfection.

[GoldenMediaGirl]

The way SoHyun Ko plays the high notes gives them an air of softness almost like a whistle as opposed to a piercing sound. It is so pleasant to listen to.

Audio engineer here; the chloe recording is a prestine audio recording setup. That guy or gal knew their mic setups and polarities and panned certain notes (like the good old days of engineering). I have not heard that type of recording in a while. Good hall delay too. Everybody involved there is a master. Man good stuff. Maria's recordings were second. If maria got chloe's audio engineer, her recordings would be intense and give you that ear f*c* that most of us musicians like to hear.

i love how marias playing just squeezed bretts face through the screen at 14:30
i think every prodigy in this video is masterful and it will always depend on you which type of sound is more attractive to you but imagine chloe sohyun and maria arrange a whole concert together where all their characteristics can shine through... that would be unforgettable on so many levels

[larissaortiz]

Love how Eddy is vulnerable enough to play for comparison. Both of your comments are so genuine. Gives a non-musician like myself some context.However, you both can definitely hold your own! Let’s face it, you two are so talented, there has been anime created of you! Take that prodigies🎻🎻

Chloe as a child: Makes Twosetviolin go crazy.

Chloe as a teenager: Makes Twosetviolin silent

Chloe as an adult: ...

[yalda]

as someone who wasn't privileged enough to learn to play any kind of instruments(they don't teach music in schools in iran) i loved how you broke down it for us!i completely understood what a master should sound and look like while playing

[gagesiemens]

I think everyone went speechless right as Chloe started to play at age 15🤯 it just pulls you in

[CinnamonFudge]

whenever i look at people with so much, just, raw talent, i can do nothing but just be speechless. their level is just so high up.

[catherinetypist]

What I found interesting is that 7 year-old Christian Li was probably at an intermediate level and far far less advanced comparing with Chloe. Yet they share the first prize at Menuhin only three years later (I liked Christian Li's performances more at the competition). That's crazy rate of improvement over that three years even for Ling Ling.

"They haven't been beaten down by life. They're *beating* life."
So true! I think that childlike innocence helps these amazing prodigies be so confident in their abilities. (And many hours of practice of course...)

[simplytwosetter]

Apart from being technically mature at a super young age, I feel like these prodigies all have their own unique personalities/color in their music. It's not like they all sound 100% perfect and 100% alike, but they are perfect in their own way! And they are all super cute lol I really appreciate the teacher who discovers their talents though, and also their parents who support them. Lots of love and respect to these prodigies and Twoset of course!

[FredHsu]

You two are most admirable. Thanks for bringing refreshing light to the classical world in your bragging humble ways.

Ok but, Maria’s playing is making tears come out of my eyes because of how good it is. I just love her playing so much I can’t.
