8:40 and seq. are just amazing. Perfect articulation; Perfect style; Perfect colour; Perfect phrasing; grand and poetic together, without doing too much. She is truly the best, and by very far.
A great interpretation, very original and with personality... energetic, with fine spaces between notes and phrases, though not splitting the lines. That’s great craftsmanship, intellectual and emotional level. She plays with willpower, self confidence and a clear intention, as Mr. Pitborn mentioned, far above any stiff and mediocre academic consent about „how one has to play Bach“. To hear this makes this day a better day! :) I guess it’s one if not my favorite interpretation. Thanks to Mrs. Hahn und Vater Bach, dem grössten Genie der Musik.
This a wonderful piece and I would recommend it for everyone who likes classical music! Even if you don't this violinist will sweep you of your feet when she plays it sounds great!
Bach must have had a VERY happy period of his life in Koethen. This interpretation, in Hahn's typical perfection, expresses so much joy, optimism, energy - unmasked yet non-trivial happyness. It is so extremely adequate, beyond all pea-counting and pale-faced historicism which our times still suffer from. That may reach the advocates of mediocrity, but not a soloist like Hilary Hahn. It is my conviction that Bach would have been delighted with this splendid violin sound: It is this what he really meant - if you ask me. Bach and violin both at their best.
"unmasked yet non-trivial happyness. It is so extremely adequate, beyond all pea-counting and pale-faced historicism which our times still suffer from. That may reach the advocates of mediocrity,..." . Such a critique deserves some comment - and I would if I understood it. One moment that did come to mind was Groundskeeper Willie, the Scottish misanthropist in the 'Simpsons', rendering a pastiche on Julie Andrews ' 'Wouldn't It Be Loverly' - only substituting 'adequate' for 'loverly'. Hilary Hahn, you've been rumbled. You're not a virtuoso at all - you're just extremely adequate.
Yes when Mutter was been a pupil of karajan because now she is still a great violinista bute she plays without feeling for music, it s all nevrotic. I miss young A,S, Mutter..Maybe Jansen is another great but Hann music intelligence is on another planet. No effects no stupid nuances ..it s all really great great music and sound.
@@Mary-kv2hv That's a tough call. Fischer can also play concert level piano. She's incredibly talented. I love the no nonsense approach of Hahn. She's expressionless throughout her performances. She's all business. I like that, too. But, as I say, it's impossible for me to call. I imagine if a performance by either of them were going down, I'd be just as happy either way. Hillary Hahn has more of a presence on You Tube than Julia Fischer, making her music easier to access.
Quite extraordinary technique to be able to articulate clearly at such speed, but I need to ask....WHY?? If you get out of your head for a moment the expectation (brought on originally I think by the period music brigade) of breathless speed as an attempt to inject energy and arrest the interest of today's short attention span society.....and then listen to Arthur Grumiaux. A perfectly respectable pace, but one that allows more room for the harmonies to breathe and be heard. Maybe less impressive, but much more satisfying.
I thought the same, somehow I can't find my way with Hilary's Bach interpretation. For me it's played a bit too broad and "laid back". Grumiaux is my favourite when it comes to Bach, he plays with such articulation and precision and keeps the notes short, just really captures the whole picture.
Violin Virtuoso of the century!
I see my father's smile when I listen to this. (He played the violin and is no longer with us.)
This Bach interpretation always gives me chills; strong brush stroke of Hahn did it 😍

Mr. Bach, the greatest musical genius?
Yes couldn’t have said it better. Thanks for your awesome comment!
Hilary Hahn, what would we do without you? I know that you work hard to play so perfectly, thank you
A wonderful performance by all including Hilary Hahn!

If you don’t understand what Pitborn says, well... then...
A brilliant analysis and comment. Compliments !
It was BWV 1042 that made me fall in love with Bach!
in my case, 'twas BWV 1043 :)
In my case it was Ethel Mannin's novel 'Proud Heaven' !
BWV1004 is what did it for me 😊
In my case was BWV 1004, and specially Hahn's BWV 1006(Speechless about her interpretation, the best one for me)
Me too! And it was RV 522 and RV 580 that made me fall in love with Vivaldi
Great rendition by talented violinist! Must have trained for years and years!Thanks for sharing BWV 1042 always as one the top of favorite list!
Incredibly good playing!
1st 0:01 - 2nd 6:55 - 3rd 14:02
Thank you for the post! It convinced me to buy her CD.
gosto muito de bach
Einfach intergalaktisch.
Muy hermosa melodia
Beautiful women, beatiful play
I love Hilary Hahn. Such talent! Hilary and Julia Fischer - top violinists.

@@francescoficarella1474 Hilary is noted for expressionless face as she plays. She's all business with no semantics. I like that.
Sarah Chang!! Add on please
My two favorites! Between the two who is better?
I believe Hahn by the slightest of margins!

Solo tu y yo sabemos lo que encierra estás melodias

16:04 made me genuinely laugh. Witty little part :)

A little bit too fast but wonderful nonetheless
an attack too fast. Original interpretation. Do not like. Listen and compare with the unsurpassable Oistrackh
half pitch lower than others recordings.....?
WesternGun because this is baroque
Baroque tuning
Standard tuning for Baroque is set at 415Hz
@@Hevleticait can be, but it can also vary. 415, 417, 432, 432 depending on the country or sometimes even the city

Yes. The harmonic complexity is lost on the ear at this speed.

hmmm, I am pretty sure this is not 432Hz, maybe more around 440Hz
yes
I dont have perfect but just play an instrument next to it and you will notice
