Learning this piece right now for a recital, this by far the best recording I have listened to. No one plays Bach like Hillary Hahn. She plays it so effortlessly, elegantly, and beautifully.
@@aureliebeckers2626 It went great! Because of covid the pianist that I rehearsed wasn't able to make it, so I had to play with a recording, but other than that I did good!
Best violin technique / intonation in general and best violin on the planet for sure, but apart from her stellar recordings of the Bach Solo Sonatas & Partitas, nah, not really.
@@hazel-rah4997 Well. I'm just a rock and roll guitar player of 59 years ... But I think her Mozart Violin number Four rocks. Even on a violin that slips its tuning for the first movement.
She plays Bach exactly how you would like to hear it. Spirited, articulated, grand, organic, technically flawless, elegant and gracious yet powerful, deep and broad, there is everything there. Btw, much superior performance here than the CD with the SFO
I agree wholeheartedly, I think the level of feel she has for every piece from very different composers is second to none, her Sibelius for example is f'ing untouchable
September 2024.Who's here? What a beautiful performance. She is my favorite violinist. I love her ! ..❤.. I love J.S. Bach. Bravo Hilary! Bravo everyone from Fort Worth, Texas
I played that piece at 17 for the first time in the conservatory for my HS graduation. I injured my left hand years ago so I have not played in years. But It remains my favorite. Hahn's rendition is flawless.
I'm 13 years old and my teacher gave this concertino yesterday and I need to play on exam all 6 pages. On the exam I can't have any notes. I have 5 months. Of course I have 4 other songs but I think it's the hardest one.
She is just jaw dropping perfection. There is no ego in her performance, just the voice of the Divine and the Genius of the composer. Hilary is “Shakti carrying a violin bow.” She will be known forever as one of the eternal masters of the instrument 🎻.
@@sunhelios9086 Hilary and Pletney are in telepathic communion.to lead this exceptional orchestra. Gasp. Put this on a golden record for aliens please.
My teacher was Hillary Hahns next door neighbor in the 80s and he was in his college years. He was listening to a rock album and then he heard the beauty of hillary hahn when she was only 8!
I first saw Hilary Hahn at the Skaneateles Festival in the Finger Lakes of Upstate NY when she was very young. She was so impressive. I've watched her grow into a profound virtuoso ever since. Brava!
Her playing from around 14:00 on is simply astounding...the way she digs into the suspensions and rides achingly over the orchestra is such a bold choice and it pays off. Brava.
I keep rewinding to that part. You can tell the conductor/pianist was really into it and amazed, which is always a great sign. This is the way that section should be played
Hilary Hahn plays as beautifully as the blowing wind and she definetely has the confidence to play, plus she plays iy soooooo effortlessly. I'm playing this piece and I always listen to her in the car. What a pretty sound.❤
13:58. Epic violas. Epic entrance of the beginning of the theme, while the violin ostinates incredibly. Huge amount of energy, tears in eyes. Thank you Master of this art....
I have never heard this played with so much motion and class as this...it just swoops you along...The interpretation of the second movement is a real introspective journey full of surprises and marked by a lot of reflexion and soul searching in very deep expressions.
I like the way that, in the last movement, all the players are smiling and making eye contact, really enjoying the dance of the music. Ms. Hahn, who was a dancer, is clearly communicating her own delight to the rest of the orchestra and conductor. I also appreciate the choice of tempo - these are clearly dances. If you can't visualize people dancing to much of Bach's music, the tempo is probably too fast. It seems to be a common choice to play Bach a bit faster than the music suggests it ought to be played. Just because you can play fast, doesn't mean you should.
Unfortunately very rare. I've seen soloists actually with their BACKS to the conductor! And why on earth do they need the sheet music? As a student I busked both violin concertos and all six solo sonatas, including the Chaconne, in London's West End, all from memory. It's not hard!
I can’t express how much I love this performance. The entire orchestra and HH are absolutely incredible. Every single person on stage was fully immersed in it. I’ve been watching it every day since discovering this video.
Best of luck Maria Kim. Here is my favourite rendition if you need inspiration. ruclips.net/video/A4bUCMV2oCE/видео.html it's more peppy, but also being played very fast. I'd try to keep the peppy vibe (Hilary played it more smooth styled like romantic), but you don't need to go as fast! BEST OF LUCK! The fact you're learning this piece in the first place is super impressive.
@@mynamewhatis7254 thank u so much! this made my day. i actually did not get into the audition which is very sad but it’s ok it’s ok. i’m just glad i got to play such a great piece!
Of course Hilary's playing is always fantastic, then add the balance between her sound and the orchestra, the quality of the tone in the period instruments, the sound of the church and then the engineering of the recording, which is no easy feat, all combine to show that this is the way to play Bach...I put this on and put the volume to Max and then disappear in the sound, its brilliant...
I love it when the conductor, Omer Meir Wellber, says at the end: "Wow! Indeed, it was a "Wow"! Such an aristocratic performance of this most beautiful concerto!
Not 'almost' dance-like, in my opinion. I believe Bach wanted it to be dance-like. Gesner's description of Bach's conducting, along with the wonderful flow of his own autographs, appear to prove that point.
@@dmwalker24 it was playing in my house as a kid all the time. I didn't know that everyone didn't appreciate it. My mother told me that people not raised on it don't always have access to it.
She is a music genius .If you hear her playing Bach’s -Gigue in Dm( when she was 15 years old) you will realize - what a supernatural talent means. I am sure that the excellent musicians that were behind her, will never forget this moments of their life...
That entire performance with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra is astounding. I still can't get over the first cadenza. I watch that video almost daily.
So incredibly gorgeous playing by the absolute queen that is Hilary Hahn. I’m playing this for an upcoming recital and I truly don’t know how I’ll be able to pull it off, but it sounds so gorgeous when she plays it so I’ll keep trying ❤
Classical music is not just sound; it is a convergence of emotion and imagination. From the smallest musical notes to grandiose compositions, each musical phrase is an adventure through time and culture.
No hay palabras para expresar la excelsa interpretación de Hilary. Digo su carrera desde que era una niña y hoy nos deleita con su arte. Gracias Hilary!!
Excellent! This violin concerto has grown enormously on me, and I particularly enjoyed the dance-like pace of the final movement. Wonderful playing from Ms. Hahn and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie-- you can see their satisfaction by the end!
Thank you for sharing! The finale combines the rhythm and feel of the jig, the traditional last movement of the Baroque suite with fugal techniques, with the tutti passages corresponding to the fugal expositions.
God bless Hilary for this wonderful interpretation ! Just the right tempo, I think it´s a vocation and talent she has, wonderful performance ! Perfect ! !
Exquisite control, compressed passion, gorgeous tone. Hillary soars. She feels the weight of every note and tempers its colour, expresses its joy or sadness and her bowing is both feminine and powerful, filled with a deep knowing of what every phrase has to tell. Her playing is so deeply melodic and nuanced that it leaves most other players in her shadow.
The conductor and the companion all play in harmony. This is actual mature version than the studio version, recorded at the earlier age off her. This version reduce the intensity and serious and express the calming aura. The acoustic of this hall is fantastic, nice blending make tone mellow and smooth without scarifying expressive. Perfect.

Learning Violin for only a month. This is sooo beautiful!
@@Tingtingxie999 I been learning for a few yests
She performs it like a walk in the park. Like it was meant to be played. She’s just so natural!
Nothing natural about it, she practices her ass off like anyone that's really good at anything.
You probably dont play violin- it isnt natiral, its goddamn blood work to get that good
Clarification- i have nothing against people like you, just want to recognise the effort put in by the violinist
I started listening to Bach wen I was 17 and now I'm 75 and have never heard such an amazing performance of the first violin concerto!
Wooow
❤❤🥰
17 for me too and this piece, and now 69.
may you live healthy until 100 to continue to enjoy this piece and maybe we all be able enjoy it in the afterlife
I characterize her style as "straightforward and honest." I love it.

It's not a difficult piece for a seasoned musician to play. But she brings the joy of the music, with a natural, almost dance-like pace. A class act!
Not 'almost' dance-like, in my opinion. I believe Bach wanted it to be dance-like. Gesner's description of Bach's conducting, along with the wonderful flow of his own autographs, appear to prove that point.
How can anyone dislike Bach or this performance?
The appreciation of Bach is not as effortless as some would like. Just a little bit of focus and attention is more than they can spare.

Amen
Bach, AKA the Great Architect of the Universe. Mathematical structure brought to a metaphysical level.
The lady is an absolutely delightful genius. Brilliant performance, as usual.
This is SO BACHIAN! so beautiful! never get tired of hearing it!
I think 13:59 is just objectively one of the most ethereal moments in music
Then I am not alone in this feeling.
Sent straight from heaven
I lost count of how many times I replayed it. The scales/modes played by the orchestra under her pedal phrase are just perfection.
she is a goddess of violin, her technique is perfect, her bow control is astounding.
