The Violin Channel recently caught up with superstar violinist Sarah Chang – for a fun game of VC Desert Island Downloads.
We sat her down to pick her brain on which 5 CD recordings she would take with her to a deserted island – and how the tracks have helped shape her as a musician.
‘The Holy Grail of recordings … awe inspiring … the sheer amount of repertoire he managed to put down on tape is mind boggling … this was gifted to me several Christmases ago from a dear friend … the collection to end all collections.’
