  Sarah Chang 30 Mar 2004  
The violinist Sarah Chang asked her parents for a violin aged three, auditioned for New York's Juilliard School aged just five, and made her debut album at nine.

Her precocious talent prompted Yehudi Menuhin to declare her `the most wonderful, the most perfect, the most ideal violinist I have ever heard'. Now, aged 23, Sarah Chang has stayed the course. She has worked with most of the international orchestras, and recorded her first chamber music at the age of 20 with members of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

She joins Jenni to talk about her career and how she has dealt with success so early in life.
