This is simply awe-inspiring. I've loved this concerto ever since my childhood, when I first heard it recorded by Leonid Kogan in the 1950s. Since then, I've heard many different performances, but I've never heard a better one than this. While listening to it, I kept forgetting to breathe. Hahn's interpretation of the music is sensitive, thoughtful and courageous, her technical mastery is complete, and the orchestra keeps up with her both technically and musically. Wonderful!
You are so spot-on! During the whole Covid nonsense, when everyone else in the world was hiding in the basement, this wonderful orchestra seized the opportunity by performing to empty seats for the benefit of the entire world through the auspices of RUclips. All lovers of great music owe them an unrepayable debt...
In addition to her perfect technique, her musical creativity is increasingly visible. It's an honor to listen to and watch a great artist at her prime 👑
Hahn's technique was already perfect when she was a teenager. The majority of her progress since then has been in her expressive quality and understanding of the music she plays. She continues to make new realizations about what music really means, what an outstanding person.
Je viens d'écouter le concerto pour violon de Brahms et celui ci dans la foulée. Je suis entièrement d'accord sur l'expressivité de cette violoniste. C'est très beau !
It's incredible how Hilary and Andres understood that Tchaikovsky was a prolific composer for ballet. The entire performance was incredibly graceful and truly terpsichorean, nothing was rushed just for the sake of demonstrating virtuosity - it was first and foremost presented like dance.
at 7:39 I love how while she's not playing, she's just casually looking over the orchestra members, kind of checking them out, kind of saying hello, respecting them and "seeing" them.....she's the best.
I absolutely love how she behave herself with the orchestra. She always looks at them like peers and not like she's the star or something special (but she is!). I remember moments when she plays unison with the 1st violins when she turns in their direction like "how good it is to play with you guys"... I would say "working miracles" but that's me fanboying too much 😂

@Ream44 I am! I made it more for myself to get more familiar with the piece in preparation to seeing it live, but I'm glad to see other people finding it useful. I appreciate it!
The production level on this video is outstanding. Major props to the team that captured the audio, filmed from all angles, and the editor that it all together who actually knew what they were doing. Always seemed to show the exact perfect tight angle or distant view at exactly the right time. The ultra tight zoom for the harmonics, the play back and forth between the instruments, the big picture view during the full fortississimo.... absolute excellence. Thank you. I truly enjoyed this incredible performance because of your work.
Some of the commentators (not me) think that her hair is a little too much in focus, filmed from the left. I myself just enjoy the focus on her left hand, and her forth finger vibrato and so on. I congratulate the production team for finding such clever sound and picture technicians! They did a great job!
Yes, nice music and technique. Such delightful sounds are better to keep one calm when dealing with a bunch of politcal texts for USA D or R Party funds. So, they get deleted; but not the wonderful Season of Lights music: now in Christmas Time and throughout 2024, as God wills. Take care. Shabbat Shalom. Psalms 30 & 12. Amen אמנ.
In all her live performances I have always seen her acknowledging her fellow musicians. She must be a dream to play with. I wonder if she still does chamber music cause I would love to see her as part of a small ensemble.
I love the way when she plays it’s 100 pct about the music she’s making. There’s no excess movement. She’s willing the violin to make these sounds. What what amazing music she produces
This is perfectionist violin technique by Hilary Hahn, perfect bowing even while moving, perfect intonation and she gets such amazing tonal range and volume from that instrument. So happy to have found this video - thank you to all! Superb orchestra, conducting, video and sound. A masterpiece by all! (from Canada)
Hilary’s playing is aging like fine wine. Sweet, yet savory. Bold when called for, yet timid. All this while having world-class precision and staying true to the piece. Beautiful.
I can’t believe the audience was so well behaved at the end, just applauding from their seats. I would’ve jumped out of my chair screaming how much I love HH and the conductor and the whole orchestra while ugly crying and applauding until my hands would’ve become crippled. Such an amazing performance. Music is unearthly.
I agree with you. However, European audiences almost never give a standing ovation. But Hilary did get standing ovation for her performance. Watch the string players starting at about 39:00 ... it amounts to a standing ovation from those who truly understand her greatness!
I’m not an expert on music or violin and I don’t play any instruments, but I’ve always loved classical music. I’ve listened to different Hahn performances on RUclips before. And I’ve listened to this concerto before a few times, I don’t think it was Hilary or maybe it was just an older performance? But something about this one from the very beginning was just different and I don’t know music enough to say what it is exactly. All I can say is it sounded prettier. Hilary sounded incredible and even the rest of the orchestra. This is the best Tchaikovsky concerto I’ve ever listened to. Am I right in saying that this performance sounds different and somehow more beautiful? I don’t know music that much lol so maybe I’m wrong but this is my favorite so far.
Such virtuosity between musician and composer is a truly emotional experience. Undoubtedly all what Tchaikovsky could have ever hoped for! Brilliant...
I literally screamed when I saw this!! I’m so happy that there is a new recording of her Tchaikovsky, although I love the recording of the one with the youth orchestra in Texas! I’ll probably listen to this every day for the next two months or so… This is played SOOOO beautifully!! Love everything about this!!
I gasped very loudly when I saw the upload. The original live stream of this concert had a glitch about 3:30 into the first movement that skipped about 15 seconds. I’ve been waiting to see if they’d upload this so we could hear the concerto unblemished. It’s SO GOOD!
SAME. I saw the vid in my recommended and clicked it faster than I have ever clicked a link before...I have been waiting for Hilary's professional recording of this concerto on youtube for YEARS.
I agree, even I am not the screaming type op person. But in myself my heart was very happy when noticing this publishing of Hilarys best performance of this work.
This is Tchaikovsky at his very best. So many other violin concertos fail in comparison because this is cantabile from beginning to end. This is so great you could listen to it 500 times and never tire.
Such maturity, even at her age -- she ages better than the greatest wines of the world. My god -- what a spectacular interpretation and we're still saying that in her middle years. Crazy...
I swear she gets better with age. She always had perfect technical ability, but in the past several years I’ve heard a new depth of feeling and soul in her playing that shines through.
bro really was one and done on his violin concertos but to be honest, if I wrote this, I'd walk away too cuz holy moly man this is some of the best composition ever
I came here for Hillary and, yeah, the whole production really blew me away. Was going to watch on my phone for a few minutes and ended up switching to my TV to watch the rest. Just phenomenal.
His phrasing and articulation during the legato parts were absolutely perfect. Sometimes though, it felt like him and Hilary were clashing with their dynamic interpretations. The whole concert, Hillary was making bombastically quiet dynamic choices; which I absolutely loved. She is a genius. But yeah, at one point Hilary was playing the most delicate melody, pianissimo, and he jumped in fortissimo on his arpeggios and I would be like "bruhhh," the entire orchestra is playing piano to match her choice, so all I can hear are your ornamental arpeggios!! She then crescendos up to forte, and ideally, he would have too, but idk if he could've gotten any louder 💀. Immediately after that, the flute came in to take over the arpeggios and was able to match her style perfectly; it was heaven. But yeah this piece is heavy for first clarinet so props to him for an otherwise amazing job. I think sometimes orchestra members, especially winds, can tend to overproject on solos, especially on string solo pieces.
I have heard many violin concertos over the past 60 years since I started to listen to fine music. I have to say I believe this is about the best of them, and the most demanding on the virtuoso soloist. This gal is superb playing this and kudos to the rest of the orchestra.
incredible!!! how can such a master even become better and better still !!! and as a human she is so normal and funny ! this was like medicine for me today. thx to all musicians and of course to hillary hahn !!!
Wowzah. That's the first time I've heard Hilary play like this. So many new things, and how she and the orchestra were in sync most of the time. The timing is phenomenal. The articulation, accents, musicality, etc. Kudos!
While watching this video, every few seconds/minutes, I say to myself ‘very interesting things happened here, that must be it, what else can happen now?’ And then something even more interesting is happening yet again, and then again… until the end of the performance… We are truly privileged to have performances like this one available in our fingertips, literally.
Oh my god, I can`t even! Nobody had a clue how hyped I was for Hilary`s full Tchaikovsky performance on RUclips. I mean, I`ve been waiting forever for this. And it`s now available. A complete concerto, you say? My life is complete. Massive shoutout to the hr-Sinfonieorchester for dropping this! No more 3-minute teasers, y`all rock! And of course, Hilary absolutely nailed it!
There’s freshness to her playing in every piece, every performance. It’s like hearing the music for the first time again - she manages to present to us something outside the clichés we’ve gotten so used to. Like 4:5526:1436:27 and many other points, where she really takes the time to demonstrate her own interpretations. Nothing more enjoyable hearing the great soloist be accompanied by such an attentive and talented orchestra.
A high-quality, excellent performance of this piece, featuring Hilary that I have been waiting literally years for. And my god, what a performance. Hilary is more amazing with every passing day. The orchestra was stunning as well. Particularly some of those stand-out wind parts. So clear, and expressive. Anyone who doesn't appreciate what a genius Tchaikovsky was should listen to this, and all will be made clear.
In a world of one violinist she may be the best. But our real world has a very long list in front of her (and I am so happy because of this): Heifetz, Oistrach, Menuhin, Rabin, Milstein, Midori, Perlman, Neveu, Enesco, Gitlis, Vengerov, Kogan, Sitkovetsky Julian... I ran out of ink...
@@Camille-Saint-Saens Hmm... with due respect, she may outpace anyone, but music is not about pace... By the way, how can you produce an opinion about someone dead and without any recording? Please explain.
In every inch (cm, dm or metre) Hilary here proves what a master she is. This is the best Tschaikovsky Violin Consert I ever heard! It is an honour and a privilege for me/us to be able to listen to this. I am so thankful to her, but also to Andrés and this eminent orchestra!
I never used to be a big fan but this performance completely blew me away. She pays so much attention to details and really plays with the tempo and articulation. And the best thing - the orchestra adapt this. Just listen to 34.34 and then the wind soloists! Incredible.
@@jacobadelman9788 Interesting you mentioned it. I listened to that piece played by Heifetz, didn't really like it for many years. After listening to Hilary's version, it sounded like a totally different piece, with so much more warmth and emotion.
Not so much known for the Tchaikovsky VC, Maestro Hilary has been increasing her performances of this piece in recent times. This is a wonderfull performance and look forward to how this piece evolves with Mastro Hilary in the future. Thanks to the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra for making these stunning performances freely available.
It’s honestly incredibly difficult to describe to anyone that hasn’t played a stringed instrument how extraordinarily difficult it is to play the way Hillary did at 36:25… Truly, it may sound pretty simple to play the same notes faster and faster, but the level of control over tone, in addition to the dynamics displayed were truly incredible. Makes it probably my favorite part in this whole piece in all honesty.
One of the best ever performance I never seen thebefore is one of the greatest violin performance by an excellent violinist like Hillary Hahn her technique are out of this world and the sound of the violin she has is a pure and beautiful sound that make your soul transport into a voyage that you never want to stop and keep continuing listen to this marvelous and beautiful music for ever CONGRATULATION HILLARY IN ONE AGAIN THE BEST PERFORMANCES I NEVER SEEN BEFORE IT WAS A PERFECT PERFECT PERFORMANCE BY ONE OF THE FIRST BEST AND MORE THAN THE BEST VIOLINIST IN THE WORLD EXCELLENT EXCELLENT
I believe that if Tchaikovsky could hear this interpretation from wherever he is, he would certainly feel fulfilled. This concert seems to have been made for each other, Tchaikovsky-Hahn, representing the perfect symbiosis of unparalleled musicality.
Literally the most spectacularly flawless technique, not only in her left hand intonation but in her ridiculously amazing bow control, of all of the greats, imho. not always my favorite performance musically, although never anything to complain about, but she is always I swear like some alien being dropped onto this planet to demonstrate to all of us violinists that it truly is possible to play the instrument measurably perfectly over and over and over and over and over and over
hilary Hahn， my life time favorite, although i never watch her live. But her honey tone is so unforgetable. I have watched Modori and Vengerov etc, but still love Hilary Hahn. Can not explain.
Hilarys treatment of the violin is outstanding; the sound comes out so soft and intimate, still with the inner nerve in it. Also in more flamboyant passages is her playing marvelous! I have never heard this Tchaikovsy Violine Consert played better. So thank you, wonderful Hilary, marvelous orchestra and clever Andrés Orozco-Estrada! The sound uptaking is also fabulous.
I love how she just STABBED those high notes in the crescendos and put the wickedest vibrato on them as well. I'm amazed that dainty bow stands up to the punishment!
Violinists consider this to be the most difficult concert to play. In fact Tchaikovski did not listen this concert alive for some time as there was no violinist who dared to play it. Thanks so much for this extraordinary presentation.
Whenever I watch a concert with Hilary Hahn, the orchestra is so enthusiastic in their applauds for her, which tells me, not only is she a great musician, but a great person to work with. Otherwise they wouldn't be that vociferous, no matter how great the playing.
Welcome to our big majority of listeners who are not living at the right place, or has a too long a journey to travel to get a ticket, or cannot travel so far, or cannot even travel. We are the majority of listeners. It is for us Hilary Hahn is playing!
She has been hitting the gym. She looks so STRONG. I LOVE her playing. you can see the expression in her face and in her eyes. The determination and focus is amazing and one to strive for as an artist. ❤️❤️❤️🎻
I have loved this concerto since I first heard it in 1965. I have listened to many recordings of it since then. This is, by far, the best performance available on YOU Tube. Hilary Hahn has captured all the emotion that is expressed in this concerto. Many thanks for the prividlidge of listening, .
Ez egy gyönyörű, de nem egy egyszerű zenemű. Hilary Hahn óriási, csodálatos, elbűvölő hegedűművész. Zseniális virtuozitás, dinamikus, temperamentumos, mégis finom, meleg hangtónusú az előadása. Fantasztikus a zenekar is, élén Andrés Orozco vezényletével. Szívből gratulálok.❤❤
Exactly! I've watched/listened to her performance of Bruch Violin Concerto no. 1 (with this same orchestra) probably 50 times here on RUclips and I get shivers and tears every single time.
i am disabled and iam living best, because i am living in Germany My destionation is why I am free! Frankfurt .....❤ my illnes was the key, trough hell and back now i hear violine and angel sing. iam an first class Patient. Thank you Germany and Lady Hilary🎉😮😮
For Andrés Orozco-Estrada this must be like a hard work-out. And I admire him for beeing so flexile and intuitive in his cooperation with Hilary. Every conductor has his/her own style, and I like Andrés for beeing so much himself in his work with Hilary and this fabulous orchestra. He is a true musician!
you can see the absolute heaven the conductor is in and the pure smile on his face when hilarys articulation and style of playing matches the dream in his head - its incredible the silent dynamic that is so often overlooked between a conductor and a soloist because it truly makes a world of difference
Hilary is on fire here; and of course Andrés fire. A stunning performance - not forgetting the magic achieved by the camera folk and the sound engineers. Thank you!
Größter Respekt an Fr. Hahn, Hrn. Orozco-Estrada, das Orchester und das Publikum! Aber mein größter Respekt geht an den Komponisten, Pjotr IljitschTschaikowsky, der diese göttliche Musik geschrieben hat.
Grazie non ho sentito il compositore a essere nominato comunque a per primo nominare è poi bravura dei musicisti che fanno un capolavoro, ciliegina sulla torta bravissima Hilary Hahn e
Sometimes i wish to get some more dirty or excessive colours in her sound, but its her very recognizable style. She really emphasizes those parts, which many others oftentimes rush to blur, makes sequences more interesting and difficult chord progresses sound detectable. Her technique is just amazing. Would be gold to have her as a teacher...
It is very clear that Hilary and Andrés through this consert take their freedom to change the pace back and forth all the time. For me this is why I can hear this consert in a new context, and therefore love it so much. This variation of tempi becomes an eye-opener for me, can it be played this way? Yes, and the way Hilary and orchestra under Andrés leading play this is for me some sort of a miracle. Thank you very much!

Habe kein Konzert gehört, bei dem das Orchester so synchron mitgegangen und so transparent und luftig aufgetreten ist. Auch die Balance von Orchester und Solistin ist perfekt, jedenfalls in der Aufnahme so präsentiert. HR: super!
Listen to her Bach E major Concerto and tell me what you think its exactly the same atmosphere all playfulness and humility just adds that touch that can make the connection with us simple listeners. I think no one can connect with an audience like she does. Just for that to me she is at the top of her profession. She is truly the best performer.❤
This is a masterful performance on every level. The instruments sound like they are voices telling their stories. I loved watching and listening to this. Thank you
She may play a little bit slower than some, but her articulation and projection and musicality more than makes up for it. I often listen to her version of the pieces I want to play myself because she is so articulate
The 1st movement was surprisingly slow but we've heard her rip that thing apart before so I really enjoyed this interpretation too. And the finale was still a barn burner!
The 1st movement's tempo is "allegro moderato" which means it could be played with the tempo of 79-158 bpm. So i don't think we can call her version "slow" just because we are used to faster versions these days.
I so appreciated the slower version as she further articulated the nuances of the piece beyond what I’ve ever interpreted before. She really dissects this one so we can appreciate the piece’s complexity differently. New interpretation. New perspective. Cool.
Increible la madurez musical que ha adquirido Hilary Hahn desde su ultima version del bruch, ya no toca solo notas de forma virtuosa, sino que ha logrado algo mas dificil, transmitir con sus ejecuciones, la musica no se enseña, solo lo hacen los musicos cuando logran una madurez musical de algo intangible que no se enseña
Egy DÌVA a Tisztelt Müvésznö.Át éli az egész koncertet.IGAZI LELKES MÜVÉSZ.Ismét csak GRATULÁLNI tudok. Köszönöm szépen ezt A nagyszerű élményt.Sok-sok sikert, jót, tapsokat kivánok.MEGÉRDEMLI.❤

Yes. ✨
HH means something else 💀💀
True, but aye man dont say it like that 😂

Totally agree with this expression: I recall her fun sessions with the 2 young musicians Reset -- so happy find her in this Richly performed concert
Correction to my above comment: I meant her dialogues with the 2 young musicians: Two Set. ❤❤❤ She is superb in this performance
I couldn't agree more. Though I wasn't the biggest fan and always respected her artistry, I'm starting to really love her work now.
She makes classical

Thank you for very nice comment! But in my opinion Hilary´s playing is not aging, it is getting younger and more vital every time I listen to her.
And the question is: Can fine wine be better with time, and still behold its frechness? In this case I think it can.

I’ll probably listen to this every day for the next two months or so… This is played SOOOO beautifully!! Love everything about this!!
I gasped very loudly when I saw the upload. The original live stream of this concert had a glitch about 3:30 into the first movement that skipped about 15 seconds. I’ve been waiting to see if they’d upload this so we could hear the concerto unblemished. It’s SO GOOD!
SAME. I saw the vid in my recommended and clicked it faster than I have ever clicked a link before...I have been waiting for Hilary's professional recording of this concerto on youtube for YEARS.
Same, I literally gasped when I saw the notif after I woke up
@@ObnoxiousNinja99 OMG FOR REAAALL
I agree, even I am not the screaming type op person. But in myself my heart was very happy when noticing this publishing of Hilarys best performance of this work.
This is Tchaikovsky at his very best. So many other violin concertos fail in comparison because this is cantabile from beginning to end. This is so great you could listen to it 500 times and never tire.
Mendelssohn as well.
Absolutely.@@robertvarner9519
@@robertvarner9519 both are GREAT fr
Mendelssohn indeed!@@robertvarner9519
Brahms!
素晴らしい演奏に感じました。その場で聴いておられる方が羨ましいです。気軽に素晴らしい音楽に触れることができる youtube に感謝です。
Such maturity, even at her age -- she ages better than the greatest wines of the world. My god -- what a spectacular interpretation and we're still saying that in her middle years. Crazy...
She 44 now. Still a baby.
I swear she gets better with age. She always had perfect technical ability, but in the past several years I’ve heard a new depth of feeling and soul in her playing that shines through.
bro really was one and done on his violin concertos but to be honest, if I wrote this, I'd walk away too cuz holy moly man this is some of the best composition ever
He only composed one violin concerto.
My favorite violinist + my favorite conductor + my favorite violin piece = heaven
Love how they enjoy the moment!
I came here for Hillary and, yeah, the whole production really blew me away. Was going to watch on my phone for a few minutes and ended up switching to my TV to watch the rest. Just phenomenal.
I like Andrés Orozco- Estradas dancing on the podium, he exemplfies what this music is about👍
First clarinet: Oscar for best supporting actor.
His phrasing and articulation during the legato parts were absolutely perfect. Sometimes though, it felt like him and Hilary were clashing with their dynamic interpretations. The whole concert, Hillary was making bombastically quiet dynamic choices; which I absolutely loved. She is a genius. But yeah, at one point Hilary was playing the most delicate melody, pianissimo, and he jumped in fortissimo on his arpeggios and I would be like "bruhhh," the entire orchestra is playing piano to match her choice, so all I can hear are your ornamental arpeggios!! She then crescendos up to forte, and ideally, he would have too, but idk if he could've gotten any louder 💀. Immediately after that, the flute came in to take over the arpeggios and was able to match her style perfectly; it was heaven. But yeah this piece is heavy for first clarinet so props to him for an otherwise amazing job. I think sometimes orchestra members, especially winds, can tend to overproject on solos, especially on string solo pieces.
I have heard many violin concertos over the past 60 years since I started to listen to fine music. I have to say I believe this is about the best of them, and the most demanding on the virtuoso soloist.
This gal is superb playing this and kudos to the rest of the orchestra.
incredible!!! how can such a master even become better and better still !!! and as a human she is so normal and funny ! this was like medicine for me today. thx to all musicians and of course to hillary hahn !!!
Wowzah. That's the first time I've heard Hilary play like this. So many new things, and how she and the orchestra were in sync most of the time. The timing is phenomenal. The articulation, accents, musicality, etc. Kudos!
Irresistível ouvir uma interpretação tao linda e profunda!! What a
Magic moment to hear you, Hilari!! Thank you !!!
This orchestra is fast becoming my favorite orchestra
I know right? You should listen to them playing Mahler 5 !
Most of my favourite recordings come from this orchestra
Not to mention their fabulous conductor! Andrès is certainly one of the if not the best young conductor out there
While watching this video, every few seconds/minutes, I say to myself ‘very interesting things happened here, that must be it, what else can happen now?’ And then something even more interesting is happening yet again, and then again… until the end of the performance… We are truly privileged to have performances like this one available in our fingertips, literally.
Je suis completement d'accords.
No quiero sonar conspiranóico pero nos van a quitar el internet
Oh my god, I can`t even! Nobody had a clue how hyped I was for Hilary`s full Tchaikovsky performance on RUclips. I mean, I`ve been waiting forever for this. And it`s now available. A complete concerto, you say? My life is complete. Massive shoutout to the hr-Sinfonieorchester for dropping this! No more 3-minute teasers, y`all rock! And of course, Hilary absolutely nailed it!
There’s freshness to her playing in every piece, every performance. It’s like hearing the music for the first time again - she manages to present to us something outside the clichés we’ve gotten so used to. Like 4:55 26:14 36:27 and many other points, where she really takes the time to demonstrate her own interpretations. Nothing more enjoyable hearing the great soloist be accompanied by such an attentive and talented orchestra.
찢었다... 요즘 이것만 들어요. 정말 우아하면서도 강해요. 그리고 편안한 숨쉬는 듯 자연스러워요. 준비와 연습은 절대 그렇지 않을텐데 이 조화로움이란. 아름다운 음악에 정말 깊이 감사합니다.
My goodness how could it be better? How?
She is the queen for another great reason because of this. ❤
Conducted by Tchaikovsky ;)
A high-quality, excellent performance of this piece, featuring Hilary that I have been waiting literally years for. And my god, what a performance. Hilary is more amazing with every passing day. The orchestra was stunning as well. Particularly some of those stand-out wind parts. So clear, and expressive. Anyone who doesn't appreciate what a genius Tchaikovsky was should listen to this, and all will be made clear.
Yeah amazing performance
She’s perfect. The best violinist of all time.
oh I think Sarah Chang can give her a run for money...
In a world of one violinist she may be the best. But our real world has a very long list in front of her (and I am so happy because of this): Heifetz, Oistrach, Menuhin, Rabin, Milstein, Midori, Perlman, Neveu, Enesco, Gitlis, Vengerov, Kogan, Sitkovetsky Julian... I ran out of ink...
@@florincoter1988they are all good in there own ways but I think she could even outpace Paganini (even tho he’s dead)
@@Camille-Saint-Saens Hmm... with due respect, she may outpace anyone, but music is not about pace... By the way, how can you produce an opinion about someone dead and without any recording? Please explain.
@@Camille-Saint-SaensShe is just interpreter not a creator pls
Merci Hilary pour ces purs instants de bonheur- plénitude partagés, cette interprétation résonnante de votre passion comme toutes les autres ❤
In every inch (cm, dm or metre) Hilary here proves what a master she is. This is the best Tschaikovsky Violin Consert I ever heard! It is an honour and a privilege for me/us to be able to listen to this. I am so thankful to her, but also to Andrés and this eminent orchestra!
Thank you, Ms. Hahn, and to Maestro Orozco-Estrada, and as always thank you to the Frankfurt!
I never used to be a big fan but this performance completely blew me away. She pays so much attention to details and really plays with the tempo and articulation. And the best thing - the orchestra adapt this. Just listen to 34.34 and then the wind soloists! Incredible.
The #1 flute, clarinet, oboe and bassoon were all incredible
she's the best. Google Hilary Hahn Chausson Poeme. To me, by far, the greatest piece of music ever written, and she is absolutely superb playing it.
@@jacobadelman9788 Interesting you mentioned it. I listened to that piece played by Heifetz, didn't really like it for many years. After listening to Hilary's version, it sounded like a totally different piece, with so much more warmth and emotion.
on my bucketlist list is to hear Hilary play this live.@@Highlander515
"never used to be a big fan" of what? Of the concerto? The orchestra? The violinist?
Not so much known for the Tchaikovsky VC, Maestro Hilary has been increasing her performances of this piece in recent times. This is a wonderfull performance and look forward to how this piece evolves with Mastro Hilary in the future. Thanks to the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra for making these stunning performances freely available.
A joyful performance! Hilary Hahn I love you ❤️. Even the audience is great. Danke Herren und Frauen 👏
God, the power this woman has with one violin is and will be unsurpassed.
😊😊😊она одна стоит целой армии...во власти её игры способность заключать Мир между народами
It’s honestly incredibly difficult to describe to anyone that hasn’t played a stringed instrument how extraordinarily difficult it is to play the way Hillary did at 36:25…
Truly, it may sound pretty simple to play the same notes faster and faster, but the level of control over tone, in addition to the dynamics displayed were truly incredible. Makes it probably my favorite part in this whole piece in all honesty.
広く、広く…豊かで深いものを感じて、
とても嬉しくて幸せな気持ちです
とても有難く
感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです
ありがとうございます
Hilary bring music to another level, it a total joy to watch her perform 🎶🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
One of the best ever performance I never seen thebefore is one of the greatest violin performance by an excellent violinist like Hillary Hahn her technique are out of this world and the sound of the violin she has is a pure and beautiful sound that make your soul transport into a voyage that you never want to stop and keep continuing listen to this marvelous and beautiful music for ever CONGRATULATION HILLARY IN ONE AGAIN THE BEST PERFORMANCES I NEVER SEEN BEFORE IT WAS A PERFECT PERFECT PERFORMANCE BY ONE OF THE FIRST BEST AND MORE THAN THE BEST VIOLINIST IN THE WORLD EXCELLENT EXCELLENT
I believe that if Tchaikovsky could hear this interpretation from wherever he is, he would certainly feel fulfilled. This concert seems to have been made for each other, Tchaikovsky-Hahn, representing the perfect symbiosis of unparalleled musicality.
Literally the most spectacularly flawless technique, not only in her left hand intonation but in her ridiculously amazing bow control, of all of the greats, imho. not always my favorite performance musically, although never anything to complain about, but she is always I swear like some alien being dropped onto this planet to demonstrate to all of us violinists that it truly is possible to play the instrument measurably perfectly over and over and over and over and over and over
hilary Hahn， my life time favorite, although i never watch her live. But her honey tone is so unforgetable. I have watched Modori and Vengerov etc, but still love Hilary Hahn. Can not explain.
Hilarys treatment of the violin is outstanding; the sound comes out so soft and intimate, still with the inner nerve in it. Also in more flamboyant passages is her playing marvelous! I have never heard this Tchaikovsy Violine Consert played better. So thank you, wonderful Hilary, marvelous orchestra and clever Andrés Orozco-Estrada! The sound uptaking is also fabulous.
I love how she just STABBED those high notes in the crescendos and put the wickedest vibrato on them as well.
I'm amazed that dainty bow stands up to the punishment!
@@eddominates This comment lol 😂
Violinists consider this to be the most difficult concert to play. In fact Tchaikovski did not listen this concert alive for some time as there was no violinist who dared to play it. Thanks so much for this extraordinary presentation.
Whenever I watch a concert with Hilary Hahn, the orchestra is so enthusiastic in their applauds for her, which tells me, not only is she a great musician, but a great person to work with. Otherwise they wouldn't be that vociferous, no matter how great the playing.
Thank you for making this available to those who cannot attend a live performance. I will listen/watch this many times. Exceptional.
Welcome to our big majority of listeners who are not living at the right place, or has a too long a journey to travel to get a ticket, or cannot travel so far, or cannot even travel. We are the majority of listeners. It is for us Hilary Hahn is playing!
She has been hitting the gym. She looks so STRONG. I LOVE her playing. you can see the expression in her face and in her eyes. The determination and focus is amazing and one to strive for as an artist. ❤️❤️❤️🎻
Wie wunderschön... Piotr Iljich Tchaikowsky, mein Lieblingskomponist. Und die wunderbare Violinistin. Vielen Dank. Blagodariu.
I have loved this concerto since I first heard it in 1965. I have listened to many recordings of it since then. This is, by far, the best performance available on YOU Tube. Hilary Hahn has captured all the emotion that is expressed in this concerto. Many thanks for the prividlidge of listening,
.
Can't believe I get to watch and listen to this performance for free. Thank you so much for sharing
Ez egy gyönyörű, de nem egy egyszerű zenemű. Hilary Hahn óriási, csodálatos, elbűvölő hegedűművész. Zseniális virtuozitás, dinamikus, temperamentumos, mégis finom, meleg hangtónusú az előadása. Fantasztikus a zenekar is, élén Andrés Orozco vezényletével. Szívből gratulálok.❤❤
How does everyone keep from weeping in the presence of such astonishing beauty? I’m in zero control of my tear ducts again and again. Can’t help it
Exactly! I've watched/listened to her performance of Bruch Violin Concerto no. 1 (with this same orchestra) probably 50 times here on RUclips and I get shivers and tears every single time.
Kudos to the whole Orchestra and to our star soloist Hilary !
The best in the world, possibly ever.....we love you, Hillary.
i am disabled and iam living best, because i am living in Germany
My destionation is why I am free!
Frankfurt .....❤ my illnes was the key, trough hell and back
now i hear violine and angel sing.
iam an first class Patient. Thank you Germany and Lady Hilary🎉😮😮
Hope you are doing well now! ❤
Afinadísima orquesta bajo la dirección del excelente conductor, Maestro Orozco. A la altura de la virtuosa Hilary Hahn.
For Andrés Orozco-Estrada this must be like a hard work-out. And I admire him for beeing so flexile and intuitive in his cooperation with Hilary. Every conductor has his/her own style, and I like Andrés for beeing so much himself in his work with Hilary and this fabulous orchestra. He is a true musician!
I notice now that Andrés in 2021 ended his conract with hr-Sinfonieorchester. I wish him luck in the future!
you can see the absolute heaven the conductor is in and the pure smile on his face when hilarys articulation and style of playing matches the dream in his head - its incredible the silent dynamic that is so often overlooked between a conductor and a soloist because it truly makes a world of difference
They had the microphones in exactly the right places to record this extraordinary performance. Bravo to all involved!
Love to see her and the orchestra and conductor so connected, smiling at each other throughout!
Yeah it's like they're all one body, they seemed to enjoy it a lot too!! First time i notice the orchestra
Hilary is on fire here; and of course Andrés fire. A stunning performance - not forgetting the magic achieved by the camera folk and the sound engineers. Thank you!
Naprosto nádherné ❤Sólistka i orchestr!Děkuji ❤
Die Präsenz des hr Sinfonieorchesters mit wunderbaren Konzerten und Künstlern ist einfach großartig! Herzlichen Dank!
impresionante, la orquesta es maravillosa, como acompaña. ella es única
I dare to say that among the female violinists in the world, nobody can overwhelm Hilary. What a tremendous performance she did!!!
love this moment at 31:20 between Hahn and Orozco-Estrada, such masterful conducting throughout to support such a fantastic performance. Bravo!
Yes, I also love this moment. We all do, I hope!
Größter Respekt an Fr. Hahn, Hrn. Orozco-Estrada, das Orchester und das Publikum! Aber mein größter Respekt geht an den Komponisten, Pjotr IljitschTschaikowsky, der diese göttliche Musik geschrieben hat.
Grazie non ho sentito il compositore a essere nominato comunque a per primo nominare è poi bravura dei musicisti che fanno un capolavoro, ciliegina sulla torta bravissima Hilary Hahn e
Grazie Signore lei ha detto una parola maiuscola è poi musicisti che fanno un capolavoro di questa composizione molto bella e completa.
Sometimes i wish to get some more dirty or excessive colours in her sound, but its her very recognizable style. She really emphasizes those parts, which many others oftentimes rush to blur, makes sequences more interesting and difficult chord progresses sound detectable. Her technique is just amazing. Would be gold to have her as a teacher...
E UM ENORME PRIVILÉGIO PODER ASSISTIR A ESTE CONCERTO!!! OBRIGADO!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Quando si è una cosa sola con lo strumento e la musica, questo è il risultato
Hilary gets better every day.
Because she practices
of course 😅
It is very clear that Hilary and Andrés through this consert take their freedom to change the pace back and forth all the time. For me this is why I can hear this consert in a new context, and therefore love it so much. This variation of tempi becomes an eye-opener for me, can it be played this way? Yes, and the way Hilary and orchestra under Andrés leading play this is for me some sort of a miracle.
Thank you very much!

Je to úžasné! Počuť hudbu ktorá zjednocuje národy. Vo mne vyvoláva mier, úctu a pokoj. S úctou k sinfonickému orchestru.❤
Habe kein Konzert gehört, bei dem das Orchester so synchron mitgegangen und so transparent und luftig aufgetreten ist. Auch die Balance von Orchester und Solistin ist perfekt, jedenfalls in der Aufnahme so präsentiert. HR: super!
My favorite Conductor and my favourite orchestra... Paired with one of my favourite violinist! This is a dream !!!!
Madame Hilary Hahn n'est plus seulement la jeune virtuose, elle est une grande dame du violon et une immense musicienne : Dame Hilary Hahn.
Nowadays she is perhaps more of a "grande dame" than a "jeune virtuose" but I myself thinks she get younger and younger in her playing!
For the first time l hear this Violinist Genius playing this great composition , and it's Amazing!
She is wonderful. Thank you for making performances like this available.. She is wonderful. Thank you for making performances like this available..
Listen to her Bach E major Concerto and tell me what you think its exactly the same atmosphere all playfulness and humility just adds that touch that can make the connection with us simple listeners. I think no one can connect with an audience like she does. Just for that to me she is at the top of her profession. She is truly the best performer.❤
This is a masterful performance on every level. The instruments sound like they are voices telling their stories. I loved watching and listening to this. Thank you
She may play a little bit slower than some, but her articulation and projection and musicality more than makes up for it. I often listen to her version of the pieces I want to play myself because she is so articulate
The 1st movement was surprisingly slow but we've heard her rip that thing apart before so I really enjoyed this interpretation too. And the finale was still a barn burner!
The 1st movement's tempo is "allegro moderato" which means it could be played with the tempo of 79-158 bpm. So i don't think we can call her version "slow" just because we are used to faster versions these days.
@@knownanonymous1691that's also true
I so appreciated the slower version as she further articulated the nuances of the piece beyond what I’ve ever interpreted before. She really dissects this one so we can appreciate the piece’s complexity differently. New interpretation. New perspective. Cool.
Love this interpretation ... the rather slow start then the rapid tempo at the end . FABULOUS
Браво Хилари Хан концерт для скрипки с оркестром композитор Чайковский! Браво оркестр и дирижор! Спасибо. Браво!
The best performance I heard since Dawid Oistrach.
Increible la madurez musical que ha adquirido Hilary Hahn desde su ultima version del bruch, ya no toca solo notas de forma virtuosa, sino que ha logrado algo mas dificil, transmitir con sus ejecuciones, la musica no se enseña, solo lo hacen los musicos cuando logran una madurez musical de algo intangible que no se enseña
これ、凄いいい。
This is amazingly superb.
This performance would have brought tears to Tschiakowsky's eyes..... Magnificent !
