Edwin Kim is still young so his violin is pure and sincere. I see that he has built up an explosive energy from his life experience and that made his violin also deep and mature.
Personally speaking, I sincerely hope that he goes the same way as David Oistrakh and Joseph Szigeti. Korea is lucky enough that it gave a birth to Edwin who I strongly believe he will be a true artist who could understand the origin of music and teach to the top of art over technique unlike the prodigy who shows up for a moment and disappears.
People love his music. His music has the origin. He is not a technician who plays violin mechanically, but he is a happy violinist who loves music and enjoys himself.
