For the people complaining about the audience carrying on... What, you would have preferred they set themselves up in a soundproof studio so you could hear every nuance of the playing? Look, this was *not* a serious concert. It was three people *having fun with their violins* and more importantly, having fun with the audience.
Creating connections is the whole idea of music. In ancient times, it was creating connections with the gods, or God. Today, its about connecting listeners to each other and listeners to the creator and performers.
Exactly. And this elitism is exactly what TwoSet is trying to do away with... and the fact that a world class violinist like Hilary Hahn is there with them, promoting, she absolutely believes in their mandate too
@@peadora Facts. Honestly, how many times have you actually heard anyone playing Paganini Caprice 24 compared to Cannon in D and the Four Seasons?? Not that much.

i remember when some snobby commenters were saying hilary fell off because she was “hula hooping on stage with youtubers” meanwhile she has entered her prime and is killing it. it’s almost like you can be a world class virtuoso and still be humble and do fun things. like it doesn’t take anything away from you to be relatable and fun when your skill level speaks for itself. mystery and un-approachability can be a successful ploy but she doesn’t need to be aloof and act “too good” because she’s still gonna be the best in the world whether she hula hoops on stage or plays a dignified concert for the pope.
I can't believe some people dared criticised Hilary for doing this! 😡 Maybe they weren't happy about her associating with TwoSet, since most "snobs", as you say, look down on them, considering they're only clowns. I'm tired of these people who want to keep things exactly the same as they were 200 years ago. They don't seem to realize that it's their attitude that deter people from classical music. Brett, Eddy and Hilary are a breath of fresh air and probably one of the reasons classical will still be around 30 years from now. (Sorry for the rent, needed to let it out... 😄)
There's been an ongoing, assumed association between classical music, classical musicians, upper class social elites and snobbery. One not of that circle (or being around one not of that circle) was frowned on the circle. It's carried on for who knows how long. However, most of those musicians probably aren't upper class elites themselves and the tendency is to forget they are artists with a craft, but people first (because of said association). People like to have fun, enjoy time with others (generally speaking). They want to share their love for that craft with everyone else. I remember watching a documentary on Hilary several years ago. She came across as enthusiastic about what she does. While her talent was honed with hard work and dedication into a wonderful skill apart from the masses, she seemed quite either unaware or uncaring of that separation. In short, she seemed grounded by her talent instead of self-elevated. That attitude shows here and in others like TwoSet. Modern media has changed that age old perception. People don't see classical music/musicians as stuffy tuxedos anymore. They see people, talented, but regular people who like the same things we like. They see Hilary Hahn, Ray Chen, Chloe Chua in an element that's not a concert, an interview etc. having regular fun. Videos like this don't demean classical music. They make it more accessible and relatable to people. I don't know if we'll every truly understand the impact TwoSet has had on the growth of interest in classical music in the modern information era.
@tfh5575 I actually think the precise reverse. To be a truly great musician and play the music well, you must take a selfless attitude about yourself into it. Only then can you let the music speak for itself. Hilary absolutely nails that side of it.. and it is why she is such a fantastic performer. She doesn't want to make a mark about her.. she wants the music to do all the talking. Just a cosmic talent.
You know, as S A C R I L E G I O U S as this seems, I think Paganini himself would approve, given his proclivity to doing stunts like breaking his strings mid-performance on purpose without missing a note.
I remembered when eddy agreed to benny that his violin is not the best when it comes to large room projecting , here you can hear eddy's violin struggles to project compared to Brett's and Hilary's violin
@@gustavmahler3228 agreed. she naturally projects more; it not only has to do with her instrument, but also with her strength, personality, and skill. (my mum used to get worried about how I wasn't producing much sound; teacher told her that kids who talk loud naturally play loud. look at Hilary's interviews both now and in childhood, and you'll see that she's by no means a quiet, shy person! in fact, as a kid I'd almost say she was a bit hyperactive.)

I mean you can clearly tlel the difference in the quality of their sound. I’m not a violinist but I can tell that much at least, not to undermine eddy and bretts skill
When Brett and Eddy first started doing RUclips vids, I wonder if they even considered that, one day, they would be doing their own world tour and would perform onstage with Hilary Hahn. Congratulations guys, the years of practise and hard work are paying off.
I like the way Brett concentrates on the hula hoop and Eddy concentrates on the Violin while Ling- I meant Hilary Han concentrates on both the hula hoop and the violin
Did anyone else notice how freaking huge her violin sounded compared to theirs? I mean it's only partially skill actually the three of them are all great players but Hillary's violin was just monster sound
@@ivettgamarra Right there's definitely something to this because I'm from Europe and I hula hoop like Hillary. Maybe the coreolis effect influences hula hoops??
So much to love about this. 2 Set has brought great music to a new generation, Hillary Hahn is cheered like a rock star by an obviously young audience, and everybody is having a blast. It is just beautiful.
First - you all lucky bastards get to see Eddy and Brett, AND Sophie AND Hilary. Damn, I can only be envious and be happy for all the audience. Second - this moment 7:13-7:15 shows that Hilary will alway be young by spirit 😜😋👍 The ONLY person I've EVER seen skipping while walking out of the stage. She is truly awesome soul *deep and long lasting bow in respect to her*
(guest) I'm a " Brit" age 72, and love the 2 set violin ! They are doing a fantastic job in interesting young people to enjoy and appreciate classical music. Brett and Eddy are so accomplished , their humour is great, and they have made so many videos that expand our knowledge of music. In these extraordinary, worrying times, they bring much-needed artistic interest. It was uplifting to hear the audience's reactions to them playing the Paganini, while hula hooping ( for heaven's sake !! L.O.L.😊). I would love to hear Brett , Eddy and Hilary repeat the routine , without the hula hoops ! That was quite a challenge to keep the hoops going while playing complicated, demanding music. Good on them, all 3 !😊 Hilary Hahn is phenomenal, and a jolly good sport ! Thank you so much.😊🇬🇧🎼😊🇬🇧🎻.
Eddy and Brett bowing for audience: *10s* Hilary Hahn bowing for audience: *1s* Ling Ling bowing for audience: *_so fast it's like hes not even there_*
The fact that they can play Caprice No.24 has me shook and the fact that they’re doing it in this situation blows my mind. I can’t even play the first line correctly and they’re killing it
You would better say Hilary's is the opposite to Twoset's. If you see Hilary's Ling Ling workout video, you would notice she's getting it rotating counterclockwise.
You have to sit down while playing the cello so you can’t hula hoop at all......... Edit: now I will have to be in a r/whoooosh comp ( I totally didn’t get the joke till now )
I'm seriously impressed that this audience recognizes Hahn on sight like this ... And loves her that much. This is heartwarming. Honestly guys, this is perhaps one of the best things you have done to bring people to classical music ever.
Hilary is a rockstar to classical fans.. and she SO deserves it. Easy going, totally not pretentious, and a gigantic talent that has come to an incredible full flower because of a tenacious attitude and a lifetime of hard work.
I think Brett didn’t get as much hard parts as Hilary do, but kinda sad that because he turn is after her, I can barely hear him playing with all the applauses and screams
Obviously Hilary’s playing is astonishing and brilliant, especially since she’s hula hooping, but I hope Brett and Eddie know how amazing they are too, this is such a fun video

She used to practice 8 hours a day in school, but that was years ago. She has a child and is married, and she is very social. Back in 2012 she said she practices for 4 hours a day, but only plays for 2 of those hours - she also spends time thinking about the music, writing notes in the measures, walking around and stretching
Finally, the official video from TwoSet, of that day! It was awesome! How lucky we Bostonians were to have Hilary as an encore guest! (of course to have TwoSet come and perform, in the first place, too!)
@@da96103No, not at all. It was a total surprise. Thanks for asking that. I mentioned it briefly while replying to another comment somewhere here, but I will detail a bit. Eddy used that wig (+ girl voice) earlier in that show, calling himself (uh, herself) Hilary, acting as a third person who encouraged Brett about violin performances, or something like that. When that video starts, that is just after they finished their entire show, after they had walked out and came back on stage for a final farewell (+ potential encore, as is usual). Just before this video starts, they had exchanged a dialog (which they "acted", in retrospect) like "Do you have an encore?" "No, I haven't prepared anything." then Eddy goes out of stage and comes back with that wig saying something like "Don't worry, we have Hilary." At this point, nobody would've guessed there's a real Hilary hiding backstage, because as I mentioned above, Eddy already acted as Hilary in an earlier part of the show. Then Voilà! The real Hilary walks out, and it was a total big surprise -- the reaction from the stunned audience was not well captured in that video, perhaps because of the angle, location of the camera/mic, etc. It was much much bigger (at least as I felt). ;-)
Live Portal Feed English Chanel paganini wrote those caprices to challange himself. These caprices do not, for one second, challenge ling ling. Therefore, hillary hahn might be paganini, but paganini is not ling ling
This is stunning and amazing. The fact that it happened is terrific. The fact that it was fully recorded for all of us to enjoy is a true gift. Thank you all!
Ling Ling could‘ve played this with three violins and ten Hula Hoops at the same time in 25 seconds without breathing and switching from pianissimo to fortissimo and from fortissimo to pianissimo every tenth of a second and all that while jumping on one toe.

@@douglasburnside true
I like the way Brett concentrates on the hula hoop and Eddy concentrates on the Violin while Ling- I meant Hilary Han concentrates on both the hula hoop and the violin
True ling lign
Ngl she makes both look effortless
Smh its ling ling in disguise
Did anyone else notice how freaking huge her violin sounded compared to theirs? I mean it's only partially skill actually the three of them are all great players but Hillary's violin was just monster sound
She plays a replica of Paganini’s own Guarneri violin made in 1864 by Vuillaume.
Thats what skill sounds like
@@うなぎ丼-e4c and confidence
Matt Groters i guess projecting and having a high quality equipment is part of being one of the best soloist
I wonder if she really had her Guarneri violin for this show...
For some reason I thought this was going to be a 24 hour video. I have the dumb.

Wow Daniel Thrasher.... You're here?

I see people from different hemispheres hula-hooping in different directions
LMAOOO
Oh my! It's true!!! I do it like them, south hemisphere (Latin America)
Brilliant
@@ivettgamarra Right there's definitely something to this because I'm from Europe and I hula hoop like Hillary. Maybe the coreolis effect influences hula hoops??
What. I can hoola hoop in either direction. I don’t think it has to do with hemisphere, probably just personal preference
When eddie dies... he will hear his monitor beep. He dies but wakes up again to tell the pitch then dies again. :3

“Who listens to Paganini for pleasure “
After this video everyone
after watching twoset videos, I came from a foreign piece(s) to Paganini is music to my ears.
i've never really understood that comment, i actually enjoy Paganini. At least the 24th
for what other reason would you listen to it tho
So that's why you violinists are in good shapes.
u haven’t seen lingLing yet
Mostly because of Lindsey sterling dances tbh
Probably is a great way to practice once you know the piece.
I can't do ANYTHING as a pianist so I'm a chonky boi
"good shapes," hmm 😏😏

So much to love about this. 2 Set has brought great music to a new generation, Hillary Hahn is cheered like a rock star by an obviously young audience, and everybody is having a blast. It is just beautiful.
That is probably the reason Hahn agrees to collabs with Twoset (aside from the fact the she seems to like them).
How is everyone two years later?
UNDERRATED JOKE
Impressive, but I didn’t flinch when I ate strawberries straight after brushing my teeth
impressive, but i can stroke my bow onto a string to make random sound
Impressive, but can you play like Hillary Han,neither can I.
Very Impressive but can you....oh wait

Second - this moment 7:13-7:15 shows that Hilary will alway be young by spirit 😜😋👍 The ONLY person I've EVER seen skipping while walking out of the stage. She is truly awesome soul *deep and long lasting bow in respect to her*
You can tell how good they are by how slow they play it

Right???
Im like, how did Brett survived?
Every time I see Hilary doing fun stuff with TwoSet, I love her more and more as a fantastic human and not only an amazing artist!
(guest)
I'm a " Brit" age 72, and love the 2 set violin !
They are doing a fantastic job in interesting young people to enjoy and appreciate classical music.
Brett and Eddy are so accomplished , their humour is great, and they have made so many videos that expand our knowledge of music. In these extraordinary, worrying times, they bring much-needed artistic interest.
It was uplifting to hear the audience's reactions to them playing the Paganini,
while hula hooping ( for heaven's sake !! L.O.L.😊).
I would love to hear Brett , Eddy and Hilary repeat the routine , without the hula hoops !
That was quite a challenge to keep the hoops going while playing complicated,
demanding music. Good on them, all 3 !😊
Hilary Hahn is phenomenal, and a jolly good sport !
Thank you so much.😊🇬🇧🎼😊🇬🇧🎻.
Aw this is so sweet
@Mr. Clasher - Clash of Clans & Brawl Stars wow
Definitely a good piece of musical entertainment.
I am glad that twoset has a wider audience for many ages.
They are wonderful. And I agree, that's too much to think about at once.
Eddy and Brett bowing for audience: *10s*
Hilary Hahn bowing for audience: *1s*
Ling Ling bowing for audience:
*_so fast it's like hes not even there_*
I was there i played to fast for the human ear to comprehend
If you can bow slowly, you can bow quickly
I always imagined ling ling as a girl
The fact that they can play Caprice No.24 has me shook and the fact that they’re doing it in this situation blows my mind. I can’t even play the first line correctly and they’re killing it
I'm not a violinist, but I'd probably be thinking the same thing!
The first two lines aren’t that hard tho... and I play the viola version which has bigger stretches because of the instrument
@@anonymousanonymity2815 everyone's at different levels in their musical journeys, but maybe the most helpful thing to do is not point that out.

Twoset's hoops rotation is the opposite from hillary's
I N T E R E S T I N G
I noticed that, too. I commented before I read your post.
You would better say Hilary's is the opposite to Twoset's. If you see Hilary's Ling Ling workout video, you would notice she's getting it rotating counterclockwise.
Because theyre australian....the toilet flushes opposite south of the equator
@@dougs3716 great interpretation
Doug S yes!!!!!! We do EVERYTHING opposite here 😁
Now do this but with a cello!
You have to sit down while playing the cello so you can’t hula hoop at all.........

Honestly guys, this is perhaps one of the best things you have done to bring people to classical music ever.
If they're big 2S fans they'll know Hilary.

@@gwaynebrouwn844 lmaon lindsey doesnt even deserve to be compared with hilary hahn, hilary hahn is god compared to her
Love how hey are def struggling while she has no mercy and goes full godess mode
Hilary is a rockstar to classical fans.. and she SO deserves it. Easy going, totally not pretentious, and a gigantic talent that has come to an incredible full flower because of a tenacious attitude and a lifetime of hard work.
This whole video:
Brett and Eddy: *Tries and fails
Hilary Hahn: *Exists*
Brett and Eddy: Senpaiiiiii
I try and fail every day
Hillary 9/10 dropped the hoop first but was steady. Eddy 9/10 he got dem hips! Brett...oh honey you got all the hard parts....10/10 visible effort.
But Brett and Eddy shared the repetitions so they played the same parts
Hilary got a bunch of the hardest parts, chromatic chords sixteenth notes, octaves runs, and she played them with power. This was so cool to watch.
She actually thought they were finishing
I think Brett didn’t get as much hard parts as Hilary do, but kinda sad that because he turn is after her, I can barely hear him playing with all the applauses and screams
Hillary Hahn be flexing on TwoSet.
AND WE STAN
Obviously Hilary’s playing is astonishing and brilliant, especially since she’s hula hooping, but I hope Brett and Eddie know how amazing they are too, this is such a fun video
Eddy* 😊
Brett & Eddy’s face through the whole thing: 〇口〇
Hilary Hahn’s face through the whole thing:
u-u
she was even flexing like: I can even change the phrasing. R You guys ok ? :D
That one lady, *"I CAN'T EVEN PLAY A SCALE"* 😂😂😂
Wow, that was Hilary-ous!!
Lol 😂
Jesus christ man... tone it down a bit I'm already contemplating suicide
two set act like they’re bad but they’re literal violin gods better than 99.99% of violinists
4:11 literally increases the tempo by 2x cuz why not
Lol ye
Evan Pyne by changing the bowing
actually Hillary is cheating in this part. Pagaganini wrote all notes in downstrokes there, like Brett and Eddy are performing.
That part is segue which means there is no break in between
Eddy in this whole video is really focused on his playing but at the moments that he isn't, he's just amazed by Hillary's playing
3 of them: playing violin and hula hoops at the same time
Sophie (pianist): alright let me just film the whole thing cause why not
Next time, the twoset should find a baby hula hoop so Sophie can put on her leg.

Exactly.
Hahn must practice 40 hours a day
She can only hope to be as good as Ling ling
She doesnt have the ling ling shirt on tho
No...
She practices 41 hours a day
She is practicing 2 maybe 3 hours a day. Ling Ling is gelous.
She used to practice 8 hours a day in school, but that was years ago. She has a child and is married, and she is very social. Back in 2012 she said she practices for 4 hours a day, but only plays for 2 of those hours - she also spends time thinking about the music, writing notes in the measures, walking around and stretching

@@joshscores3360 not actually me, just thought it was a mood lol

At 6:16 Eddy was going to shake Hilary's hand, but she gave him a warm hug instead. See how wonderful a person she is ??
Finally, the official video from TwoSet, of that day! It was awesome! How lucky we Bostonians were to have Hilary as an encore guest! (of course to have TwoSet come and perform, in the first place, too!)
Did you know Hilary was coming on or was it a surprised?
@@da96103No, not at all. It was a total surprise. Thanks for asking that. I mentioned it briefly while replying to another comment somewhere here, but I will detail a bit. Eddy used that wig (+ girl voice) earlier in that show, calling himself (uh, herself) Hilary, acting as a third person who encouraged Brett about violin performances, or something like that. When that video starts, that is just after they finished their entire show, after they had walked out and came back on stage for a final farewell (+ potential encore, as is usual). Just before this video starts, they had exchanged a dialog (which they "acted", in retrospect) like "Do you have an encore?" "No, I haven't prepared anything." then Eddy goes out of stage and comes back with that wig saying something like "Don't worry, we have Hilary." At this point, nobody would've guessed there's a real Hilary hiding backstage, because as I mentioned above, Eddy already acted as Hilary in an earlier part of the show. Then Voilà! The real Hilary walks out, and it was a total big surprise -- the reaction from the stunned audience was not well captured in that video, perhaps because of the angle, location of the camera/mic, etc. It was much much bigger (at least as I felt). ;-)
