Astonishing 1985 archival footage of the then just 5 year old Sarah Chang performing Saint-Saens' Introduction et Rondo Capriccioso.

A recognised child prodigy, she was accepted into the studio of legendary pedagogue Dorothy DeLay at the Juilliard School aged 6 - and made her professional solo debut with the New York Philharmonic when she was just 9.

VC recently caught up with the superstar violinist - for a fun game of VC Desert Island Downloads.
