By listening to Hilary Hahn you realize how powerful the notes on her violin are. Moreover, she always seems so genuinely in awe of the great ensembles she plays with.
Елегантно хвърленият поглед на Хилари Хан към оркестъра (в началото на третата част- 15:00) не е случаен, но буди възхита великодушната и очарователна усмивка, с която г-жа Хан приема грешно изсвирен тон от един (иначе блестящ) ансамбъл... Респект!
As a child, I would listen to this concerto at the public library with DAVID OISTRAKH. My violin teacher would tell us that he was one of the greatest violinists of our time (early seventies). Highly recommend listening to that recording, which also features a young Isaac Stern. Eugene Ormandy, conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra. Yes, Hillary Hahn is great, but I thought I might share David Oistrakh's great performance.
This version is much better. Hillary Hahn plays things very flat. This is played with character!! th-cam.com/video/QyZIU--9q88/w-d-xo.html. This is where you go to listen to Bach!!
I love how she plays the string crossings at 2:29. So many players are so aggressive with these whereas she seems to just caress the notes from the violin yet still with such beautiful tone projection.
As observed above, I made a fortune as a young man playing this to West End crowds. Young and confident, I just used to belt the stuff out, ESPECIALLY the passage you mention, and the audiences loved it. With maturity I played more expressively and in 1961 at Witanhurst I was priveleged to have a consultation lesson with Yehudi Menuhin, playing the E major solo Prelude. "Too expressive" he advised: "Don't try to interpret Bach: let the music speak for itself". I now tell my students: "Add a LITTLE expression, but not so that people notice. Too much would constitute distortion". For a lesson in how to play Bach listen to Trevor Pinnock's D minor harpsichord Concerto, itself an arrangement of an earlier violin concerto. It's a non-stop barrage of of galloping semiquavers: FANTASTIC! Not many "caresses" there! There isn't a "right" way, as long as one performs with integrity. Beverley Nicholls wrote in "Woman's Own" March 1958 the headline "BACH SPOKE WITH THE VOICE OF GOD. KEITH RAMSELL IS HIS YOUNG DISCIPLE." I can live with that!
The thing that I love about Hilary Hahn is that as much as we are in awe of her, she always seems so genuinely in awe of the great ensembles she plays with.
There's a wonderful rapport between Hahn and the harpsichordist as the frequent eye-contact between them highlights. This is a beautiful performance and Hahn is reaching new heights of virtuosity with each passing year.
The harpsichord is almost inaudible under all the other instruments, as in a lot of recordings. Is it a sound engineer problem? Do they need a mike on the harpsichord itself? I want to hear it.
more than that look at the start of the 3rd movement, when she plays unison (hope is the right english word) with the violins and she turns to look at the violin lead like sayin " I love to play this with you guys". Those little thing are so meaningful, and also show how much she likes to share music with fellow musician and communicate. She's so above amazing
And she isn't a Diva she portraits herself as a common person just like us that happens to be amazing in what she does. After all she is an artist that had an everyday lunch with Brett and Eddy from Twoset Violin like it was a picnic of sorts. That's just how chilled she is. She is an amazing person besides being a great artist.
Hahn voices Bach so emotionally, so sweetly. It's such a delight to hear her beautiful interpretations. It's tempting to analyse Bach's mathematical and technical mastery (and the beauty) of his scores. Who else has their mind blown by his mirror fugues and inverted canons? Hilary makes his concertos "breathe". Thank you ms Hahn for what you do. In your hands, his music is a child full of wonder. The technical processes under the skin, the "soul" looking out to the world.
Yes she is fantastic, but maybe best of all time only for Bach. There are many many also fantastic violin players over there like Janin Jansen or Maksim Vengerov, Julian Rahlin....
She is a wonderful violinist in all respects The joy that emanates from her being is palpable. The greatest ever ? A categorical claim.one must say. I'm thinking perhaps Heifetz, perhaps Oistrakh perhaps Kogan.
The second movement is one of the most exquisite in all of classical music. Hahn's interpretation brings out all of the gorgeous melancholy. As close to divine as it gets.
Dude, the whole orchestra was on point. What a level from thre harpsichord guy for conducting and playing. It just shows the level of preparation they had.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard this as it was intended to be heard. I’ve been playing an abbreviated version of the first movement for the better part of a decade in an App Store game called Magic Piano. It’s always been one of my favorites and I figured it was finally time to hear it as Bach meant it to be. Even more beautiful than I could have imagined! I’m so glad that I’m aware of this song. As silly at it sounds, I have that game to thank for an interest in classical music that I’m not sure would exist otherwise.
Delightful. Hilary Hahn is so talented and plays so very well. What a joy to listen to. And the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen musicians are outstanding as well. Wunderbar! Bach would be pleased.
The first movement has long been my favorite piece of music. But the adagio jumped out at me in this performance like in no other I’ve heard. What a stunning and mournful performance! The depth at 9:50 was captivating!
Matt Groters Hello, I hope you’re fine. If the piece is barroque you should clap. Don’t clapping between movements bore almost at romantisism with Felix Mendelssohn like a partidary.
@@marcossidoruk8033 Depende de la interpretación que quieran darle a la música insisto. la música es más que un adorno enaltecido. Y por ejemplo una interpretación purista del barroco, como he expuesto anteriormente, lo ideal sería aplaudir entre movimientos, esto dado qué como exponen obras como 4:33 los oyentes en el auditorio hacen parte del instante musical.
What a glorious venue! And Hahn looks lovely, and she seems to be delighted with the orchestra and the intimate setting. Her playing is excellent as usual!
Bach unglaublich gut gespielt von allen mit viel Energie und grosser Freude. Bach ganz vollkommen interpretiert. Da würde selbst Yehudi Menuhin Freude haben in seiner geliebten Kirche Saanen neben dem Wohnort Gstaad so etwas zu hören. Ein Lob und ein grosses Dankeschön der Violinistin für ihrer Feinfühligkeit.
A wonderful performance from Hilary Hahn and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie, which has really brought forth the dance-like motifs and nuances of this work. After the A Minor Violin Concerto, this is a long-time favourite.
Okay, this is definitely standard repertoire for a performer like Hilary, but one cannot get too much Bach, and this performance is perfection! Thank you for posting.
It's wonderful to get to see Hilary Hahn performing - perfection in technique, style and sound and interpretation. Wonderful how the orchestra works in accompaniment. Nice harpsichord, lovely auditorium!
I made a fortune playing this in West-End arcades 60 years ago to huge crowds. Started in July 1958: same November bought a house in Islington! Folk may/may not "understand" the music, but by gosh they recognise good stuff when they hear it! (P.S. met some nice girls too!)
Some people may dislike this because it's a classical orchestra, and not a baroque one. I must admit that I ust get accustomed to its sound when I hear it. The baroque sound, is imho, what it's meant to be.
Hilary Hahn is one of the most brilliant, utterly human, yet utterly divine, playfully joyful yet deadly serious, and yet completely "feminine" violinists - due most of all to her very particular blend of precision, strength and delicacy (feminine is the highest term of praise in my book). She is indeed one of the most splendid and shatteringly gifted artists in the contemporary classical world. For instance, she both lays her dazzling artistry at the disposal of the audience, but, more importantly, of the mind of the goddess that is Bach, and yet she is not really present at all. Whilst she plays, only the art of music is actual. She is nothing less than "Shakti armed with perhaps the greatest violin bow in all of creation". Her playing is in fact a work of divine veneration of what is greater than us. Quite the opposite of a masculine, preening self-admiration. It is just pure joy to watch. Observe the way she returns to full existence at the end, and beams with delight at what she and the orchestra have done in in the service of Bach, and of the divine. I cannot contain my delight and tears and compulsion to dance. If the goddesses suddenly brought my earthly existence to an end, in a delectable summons to sit at their feet in playful life evermore, after hearing Hilary play the final allegro assai, I would know that my few moderately commendable moments on earth had found a suitable consummation. Provide of course that those same divine powers also granted such an afterlife to my several girlfriends, and we could all meet JS Bach for a chat over coffee and biscotti. Even if Hillary keeps lots of lovely fluffy kittens, but occasionally forgets to give them quite enough creamy milk and soft chicken nibbles, because she is busy with hours of rehearsal, even that rather serious moral faux pas would be forgivable. Every young person in their education should watch and thereby be in awe of the scale of excellence, and radiant life-positivity, and pure altruistic love, that life can attain. BTW, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen are rather good too 🥰. Love, andrea
seem like this piece is pretty popular! Are you guys playing this for ATCL, or purely out of interest? I am playing it for exams, but I still absolutely love this piece.
Wikipedia Fritz Kreisler (February 2, 1875 - January 29, 1962) was an Austrian-born American violinist and composer. One of the most noted violin masters of his day, and regarded as one of the greatest violinists of all time, he was known for his sweet tone and expressive phrasing.
Being a one time main stream pop/rock fan, there is so much classical music that I have never heard. Indeed, it is only in the last few years, during my retirement, that I have begun to listen to music such as is in this video. The more I listen, the more I am smitten. I find the whole performance so relaxing and enjoyable. Clearly age is a factor, but so is Hilary Hahn. Watching her and listening to this piece is a real tonic!
She is so cool and seems completely immersed in her music. Not a trace of phoniness! And this concerto was clearly composed on one of Herr Bach’s best days, or anyone’s best days, for that matter!
No, it's not... She's an amazing performer no doubt, but for Romantic and forward styles of music. Bach and this concert will never have sounded like this when he wrote it.
@@andredecastro2546 Well, it's not the entirely baroque style, that's for sure, for my taste, I rather prefer this style of interpretation by Hahn. Besides the baroque music and his correct interpretation movement, it's a fairly recent, thanks to new studies found from musicologists.
@@andredecastro2546 The more I listen to both modern styles and the historically-informed performance style, the more I believe that both have value when the performer brings musicality and thought to the piece. I personally enjoy Hilary Hahn's Bach interpretations, as they are incredibly deep.
It is literally impossible to destroy Johann S. Bach - HE will always shine- whether you do a "Mendelssohn" romantic style, or throw it on an electronic organ - and, yes, this IS Bach. I like most of the interpretations, as the music is in the composer, not the interpret. And, yes, Hilary (and the orchester) does a pretty descent job!
Surely, one of Bach's finest works and hence one of the all time finest works in music. Played to perfection by soloist and orchestra with crystal clear sound. I don't see how this could be improved.
Hilary Hahn's splendid performance brings out the characteristics of this masterpiece . Hilary Hahn is a good missionary of Bach . From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

Yes really. Agree.
I love how she plays the string crossings at 2:29. So many players are so aggressive with these whereas she seems to just caress the notes from the violin yet still with such beautiful tone projection.
Thank you, MG, for that observation. For those of us who are keyboardists, we would not immediately appreciate that nuance or refinement.

There's a wonderful rapport between Hahn and the harpsichordist as the frequent eye-contact between them highlights. This is a beautiful performance and Hahn is reaching new heights of virtuosity with each passing year.
A first class performer needs first class accompaniment. This is an example.
He is director of the orchestra, and communicates with soloist.
Absolutely
The harpsichord is almost inaudible under all the other instruments, as in a lot of recordings. Is it a sound engineer problem? Do they need a mike on the harpsichord itself? I want to hear it.
@@alexandermackay-smith2364 It seems to me intentional. The harpsichord is almost a percussion instrument in this arrangement.
She is absolutely a brilliant violinist. I love her intensity and that little smile. She obviously enjoys her music.
Definitely! No sign of worry
What a wonderful legacy Johann Sebastian Bach left to us
So true. However I also had the same thought after practicing a Haydn piano sonata! There is so much bounty left behind for us!
I love that she applauds the other performers. Very classy.

Indeed, Hilary's bach is divine! This performance is from heaven. ❤
I once read a review that described Hilary's newer Bach interpretations as "unabashedly romantic" and I couldn't help but feel that it fits exactly.
Bach was something like a Christian Romantic. He was madly in love with Jesus.
Brilliant performance. The world's greatest living violinist.
Hest. Hear. I heard her play in person. What a joy.
I really love the joyful expressions on her face in the third movement. It emphasizes the joyful character of the music.
Yeah.. look at 16:20!
And she dances to the music.
Not only a genius musician but a genuinely beautiful human being. Thank you Hilary.
I love how she smiles at the other musicians :)) That connection makes the music sound like a truly shared gift

Hilary Hahn is one of the most brilliant, utterly human, yet utterly divine, playfully joyful yet deadly serious, and yet completely "feminine" violinists - due most of all to her very particular blend of precision, strength and delicacy (feminine is the highest term of praise in my book).
She is indeed one of the most splendid and shatteringly gifted artists in the contemporary classical world.
For instance, she both lays her dazzling artistry at the disposal of the audience, but, more importantly, of the mind of the goddess that is Bach, and yet she is not really present at all. Whilst she plays, only the art of music is actual.
She is nothing less than "Shakti armed with perhaps the greatest violin bow in all of creation". Her playing is in fact a work of divine veneration of what is greater than us. Quite the opposite of a masculine, preening self-admiration.
It is just pure joy to watch.
Observe the way she returns to full existence at the end, and beams with delight at what she and the orchestra have done in in the service of Bach, and of the divine.
I cannot contain my delight and tears and compulsion to dance. If the goddesses suddenly brought my earthly existence to an end, in a delectable summons to sit at their feet in playful life evermore, after hearing Hilary play the final allegro assai, I would know that my few moderately commendable moments on earth had found a suitable consummation. Provide of course that those same divine powers also granted such an afterlife to my several girlfriends, and we could all meet JS Bach for a chat over coffee and biscotti.
Even if Hillary keeps lots of lovely fluffy kittens, but occasionally forgets to give them quite enough creamy milk and soft chicken nibbles, because she is busy with hours of rehearsal, even that rather serious moral faux pas would be forgivable.
Every young person in their education should watch and thereby be in awe of the scale of excellence, and radiant life-positivity, and pure altruistic love, that life can attain.
BTW, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen are rather good too 🥰.

The tempo of the
Allegro assai is superb especially the G #m episode
Fritz Kreisler's wife once said "Fritz would have been a great violinist if he'd only practiced! :-)
Probably why i never heard of him ;)
@@julmaass You never heard of Frtiz Kreisler? OMG!
@@1940limited @julmass is just joking. hahaha
@@memidesgooshe8863 I hope so! :-)
Wikipedia
Fritz Kreisler (February 2, 1875 - January 29, 1962) was an Austrian-born American violinist and composer. One of the most noted violin masters of his day, and regarded as one of the greatest violinists of all time, he was known for his sweet tone and expressive phrasing.
Being a one time main stream pop/rock fan, there is so much classical music that I have never heard. Indeed, it is only in the last few years, during my retirement, that I have begun to listen to music such as is in this video. The more I listen, the more I am smitten. I find the whole performance so relaxing and enjoyable. Clearly age is a factor, but so is Hilary Hahn. Watching her and listening to this piece is a real tonic!
One can realize from first measure: Good performance and sonority. Both soloist and orchestra.
She is so cool and seems completely immersed in her music. Not a trace of phoniness! And this concerto was clearly composed on one of Herr Bach’s best days, or anyone’s best days, for that matter!
She's noted for being relatively expressionless when paying. She's all business. I like that.
Expressionless? Who in his right mind could say this. Watching her face and balletic movement adds to the pleasure of watching her peformances.
She is the no 1. Period!!!
I love when Hilary Hahn plays J. S. BACH Concertos and Partitas!
This is exactly how Bach should be sounded. Great work~ Ms. Hahn!
No, it's not... She's an amazing performer no doubt, but for Romantic and forward styles of music.
Bach and this concert will never have sounded like this when he wrote it.
@@andredecastro2546 Well, it's not the entirely baroque style, that's for sure, for my taste, I rather prefer this style of interpretation by Hahn. Besides the baroque music and his correct interpretation movement, it's a fairly recent, thanks to new studies found from musicologists.
Glad you like it!
@@andredecastro2546 The more I listen to both modern styles and the historically-informed performance style, the more I believe that both have value when the performer brings musicality and thought to the piece. I personally enjoy Hilary Hahn's Bach interpretations, as they are incredibly deep.
It is literally impossible to destroy Johann S. Bach - HE will always shine- whether you do a "Mendelssohn" romantic style, or throw it on an electronic organ - and, yes, this IS Bach. I like most of the interpretations, as the music is in the composer, not the interpret. And, yes, Hilary (and the orchester) does a pretty descent job!
Surely, one of Bach's finest works and hence one of the all time finest works in music. Played to perfection by soloist and orchestra with crystal clear sound. I don't see how this could be improved.
Hilary Hahn's splendid performance brings out the characteristics of this masterpiece .
Hilary Hahn is a good missionary of Bach .

I will never ever ever tire of hearing this music.
My favourite Bach work of them all. For me the Adagio expresses sadness at the plight of humanity. In the Allegro, hope is restored.
Now this is great! Simple setting small gathering!! No unnecessary applause!!
Yes! Thank you!
I totally agree, simple but sweet!
The Adagio is beyond words!
The closest thing to raw, pure emotion in all of music!
I love it when performers smile when they play. It is a joy.
My condolences..
