Barely out of High School but
already playing up a ‘storm’ on her violin!
Sara Kim, is simply a ‘Natural.’
Her recent CD release, ‘Sara Kim Plays Popular Violin
Favorites’, attests
to this beyond the shadow of a doubt.
It becomes a rather different type
of playing when a ‘higher force’ takes
over. An impetus exceeding ‘personal
opinion’, ‘interpretation’ and
‘conceptual artistic-ideology.’
Especially and particularly on the
issue of how a piece of music is to be performed; and
to be appreciated, likewise. This all tends to be quite
subjective, after all.
Thus, in the final analysis, it is
only perhaps when this ‘subjectivity’ cedes
to a higher and much greater force, and is removed from
the equation, when ‘true artistry’ can then
flow unabated.
As promised, here are the long
overdue excerpts of Sara’s wonderful gift of
music to us all. Thank you, Sara!
