You are messing up the order of achievement. Perfection is the highest. Legendary is below perfection. As for "Ling Ling" - it sounds silly & childish (if not stupid) - kind of like kindergarten vocabulary. And it's not English.
Her bow control is insane. She can use two inches of the bow and make it sound like eight. Her articulation on certain notes is more forceful, effective, and satisfying than that of anyone else I've heard, without ever being crunchy or unnecessarily rough.
I understand it is a joke, this about her fourth finger vibrato, that I can read in all comments all the time. Personally I think her third finger vibrato is even better!
Looking at this recording of Hahns Sibelius and her most recent Sibelius honestly shows me how much she constantly grows as a musician and experiments with different parts of the way she chooses to play despite both being equally good. Hope that makes sense lol😀
I was thinking that. Somewhere in the 2nd movement I just said out loud 'she has gotten better'. You can really hear it! HOW CAN A HUMAN BE SO TALENTED AND YET GET *BETTER*
Are there any particularly performances you folks are comparing this one to? Here she is with Fabio Luisi/RAINSO (2021-10) th-cam.com/video/a90-dfU3lTc/w-d-xo.html Or with Mikko Franck & the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France (2019-05) th-cam.com/video/J0w0t4Qn6LY/w-d-xo.html
This really is Hilary at her absolute best! An absolutely sensational performance by a true genius of the violin.What a privilege to be able to see and hear this.
"At her best" I think the only one who can do Sibelius better than Hilary Hahn, is Hilary Hahn. Check out her performances with Radio France orchestra (2019) & The RAI national symphony orchestra (2021).
Her playing is effortless. I had the pleasure of being on the same stage with her, turning pages for her accompanist ,Andrius Zlabys, in performances of Beethoven's "Kreutzer" and the Brahms D minor Sonata. Unforgettable!
There are good violinists, great violinists, and then there’s Hilary Hahn. Like Heifetz before her, she’s in a class by herself. I see, I hear, but I just can’t believe. Her artistry, her virtuosity, are...beyond words.
I don't think anyone has ever taken the notoriously challenging 3rd movement at such a fast pace, and executed it as effortlessly. Mad props to Hilary. Simply phenomenal.
This is by no means a bad interpretation, it is actually one of the best I've seen, but I compare it to her performance at 16, 39, and 41 and I see a trend - she keeps improving, keeping everything good about her playing, but refining it - come 42, she'll be unstoppable! I don't know how someone who is "always" perfect keeps getting better (that's a joke, I know her secret - PRACTICE). Seriously, I am impressed she sounds better than ever fresh off her sabbatical - this woman is an inspiration to me, as a musician, and several million other musicians and non-musicians alike! If anyone was Ling Ling, Hilary definitely should have the honor of that title, because she clearly puts in her 40 hours!
Are you saying that girl, the violinist. Is not in her mid 20’s to 30 tops, but actually 41? If this is true holy cow I would have never even close to guessing her age. Watching her hand and hearing her violins clarity makes it pretty obvious she is top bracket violinist. A very pretty and stunning violinist at that. Ok just looked her up, currently 42 years old. Im simply surprised this is even possible. More surprised never seen anything about her till recently on TH-cam.
@@JaapVersteegh Yes, you corrected yourself. I'm sure she works hard, but she's a one-in-a-gazillion talent. Anyone of us could work harder than she does and not come within 4 or 5 orders of magnitude of getting the results she does. The same was true, of course, of Heifetz or Oistrakh or Stern or Milstein or Perlman, etc.
Is there anything left to say about Ms Hilary Hahn? Yes there is - it is that she always always puts the music first and foremost. There is no "I am a star celebrity" humbug about her and cosequently her interaction with the orchestra/ conductor brings out the best possible performance for us to hear. This performance was a fine balanced one by the NZSO who are new to me. I particularly liked the fullness of sound the strings produced and woodwind/ brass , always a very important component in Sibelius' orchestration were excellent. All In all, a lovely half hour listening to glorious music. Thank you for this upload.
Sibelius is a musical adventure, so I prefer the younger Haln, but her Brahms was definitely better when getting older, looking forward for her latest Beethoven. By the way, the Geneva Hall is gorgeous, and her Bach was amazing, what a pleasant experience.
Simon Wong I have to say I personally prefer the newer one. Not only has her playing improved but the connection, interaction and smiles between her and the conductor make the performance impossible to look away from.
She is absolutely amazing! I have loved this concerto for many years (I am 85) and have never heard a better performance. I am so glad she is so young. It means we have many more concerti, violin/piano and violin solos to look forward to.
Wonderful playing by Hilary Hahn of this special concerto. The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, on their first trip to Europe, are very able performers too.
Students, pay attention! This is a master-class in virtuoso violin, by perhaps the finest performer ever! What a fine concert hall this is, with excellent acoustics and the orchestra is not crammed at the end. Huge thank you to all involved! That Bach Partita for encore is totally exquisite! (from Canada)
An excellent performance, but there's another one of Hahn, playing the same work, with the Radio France orchestra from a year or two ago, and that one is even better. She's like a good wine, getting better with age.
Absolutely phenomenal. She is awesome all around. I hear she married with two girls now. I hope she teaches them the same discipline she was taught. I'm sure she will. Beautiful recording. Thank you for uploading.
1st mov 2nd mov dissapointed in my opinion. Reason being that she couldn't really interpret them with emotion and it seemed that she rushed in parts where the tension is building up, this was especially prevalent in the 2nd movement. The 3rd mov was in my opinion one of the top ones performed, since it doesn't really require anything interpretation wise except a steady folkish pulse. Was this a good performance? Of course, but was it the best performamce I've heard? I would say not in a million years.
Brilliant as ever! I have been waiting for the full performance since her interview video uploaded 7 years ago. It's finally here. Thank you so much for sharing!
O M G! This is SO Beautiful! She is so absolutely perfect; it seems, even better than her previous same performance years ago, absolutely Gorgeous in every respect. She's definitely not (not) human!
I would like to thank Mr. Hansen on a Facebook post for linking this video featuring Ms. Hilary Hahn. I had never heard of her before but watching and listening to her on this video I have fallen in love with Ms Hahn's musicianship. This is a powerful and magnificent performance. She is a magnificent musician. Listening to this, I was transported to a netherworld in my imagination. I am a life-long jazz aficionado, I am over 80 years of age and I love all music, but Ms. Hahn has crept into my musical heart.
Hilary Hahn plays beautifully as always. I just wish the microphones hadn’t been quite so near!! They’re practically popping from the intensity of her playing.
Nothing short of absolutely amazing! The electricity generated so strong my computer decided to do an automatic replay. Must go out to see if my house still has a roof!
Her mastery of the instrument is stunning❗️Her control of the entire ensemble is even less believable ‼️The stream from Sibelius’ brain to the black dots on the lines to her brain then to her arms and fingers is one totally integrated process🎯There however one step higher: her performance of the entire solo part unaccompanied, available on TH-cam as Hahn Solo👍💪✅
Just saw your tweet on the art of composing. A brain like yours has many beautiful melodies to be unleashed. Please, Hilary, for posterity, publish some music that originated form your brain. The combination of your skills and creativity is truly unique in this world. You deserve to be in a class like Paganini and Mozart.
I have a recap of this video, Hilary was young and so charming, now her performing skill is so strong that we fully enjoy in it. Really wish the day she comes Taiwan again! I will go absolutely.
que os braços da HILARY estejam sempre prontos para tocarem com tal beleza que faz bem à saúde e alivia do covid19. Longa vida com o Abraço de Lisboa em 28.10.20

If she had to play the entire concerto the other way around to save her life, she'd pull it off.
Her playing is effortless. I had the pleasure of being on the same stage with her, turning pages for her accompanist ,Andrius Zlabys, in performances of Beethoven's "Kreutzer" and the Brahms D minor Sonata.

Yea, I was thinking the exact same thing! And she nailed every bit of it!! She is phenomenal!
*Caughs* Heifetz. But still insane, how she plays that concerto. Doesnt get anything better than that.
objectively, she is the best violinist there is in terms of technique. no other violinist plays this cleanly.
Have you heard of daniel lozakovitch?
@@timothyangeles4222 yo si

@@caseyngo1693 yea james ehnes is really good too. i still feel like hilary is slightly more accurate.
wrong. augustin hadelich does
Her bow distribution is the most economical I've seen, so amazing
Feliz. Cumpleaños. H. +H.
very economical vibrato too
True, I find it interesting how she can control everything on her bow perfectly without even moving her right thumb.
I was gonna be like how did I miss this recording I've listened to every sibelius on yt but then I say the release date
Get ready Eddy... not long before you have to do this.

Look at the part at 25:18 !!! There is no violinist that plays that passage as clean as she does.
Yeah my jaw hit the floor. Absolutely incredible.
This level of skill brings tears welling up...
That's what 40 hours of practice a day does for you, or rather... for her :p
@@JaapVersteegh Yes, you corrected yourself. I'm sure she works hard, but she's a one-in-a-gazillion talent.

The opening photo with the cellist with his eyes closed says it all. We are all blessed to have had Sebelius walk this planet.

8:54 i'm the man that's back with the cello whenever I hear Hilary😌
It is so good! But there is also a newer Video of the sibelius violin concerto. I just can't believe Hilary was 30 years old there
Jane Roth same . She even played it at 16!!!!
This one is more energetic as compared to the newer one with a sitting conductor.
Simon Wong yeah but her playing improved
Sibelius is a musical adventure, so I prefer the younger Haln, but her Brahms was definitely better when getting older, looking forward for her latest Beethoven.

She is absolutely the best violinist in todays world. I just love listening to her!
I could add infinite versions of Hilary's Sibelius to my favorites and it would never be boring
This video saved my life just right now. Idk how to say THANK YOU.
I'm sure I had little to do with it. You seem like a wonderful person. Take care buddy :)
Thank you so much. Always trying to be a better soon human. Have a nice weekend
SAME. Was so anxious. Needed this.
These comments make me tear up. Hope you all are and stay well
She is absolutely amazing! I have loved this concerto for many years (I am 85) and have never heard a better performance. I am so glad she is so young. It means we have many more concerti, violin/piano and violin solos to look forward to.
May you be around for all of them. This is the most enjoyable concerto of all to listen to, I find, today. I'll have to learn it.
Indeed, Sibelius's violin concerto is heart-touching. Speechless! And yes, Ms. Hilary Hahn, beautiful as always. Loved this! ❤❤
We are blessed that Hilary Hahn is alive and plays the violin like this.
13:55 / 4:20 it sounds exactly like those emotional/romantic scenes from a movie
yes haha
the 3rd mov makes me cry.....how much did Hahn practice for that cruel part.....anybody of the world in this time can't be better than this.
Wonderful playing by Hilary Hahn of this special concerto. The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, on their first trip to Europe, are very able performers too.
The best Sibelis interpreter alive everything is so crisp and clean.....

An excellent performance, but there's another one of Hahn, playing the same work, with the Radio France orchestra from a year or two ago, and that one is even better. She's like a good wine, getting better with age.
And then there's also the 2021 performance with the RAI national symphony orchestra, which might be my favorite.
Does any part of the solo NOT have double stops? Amazing playing by Ms. Hahn, Bravo! Truly one of today's best violinists.
Yes.
