Sibelius : violin concerto (Hilary Hahn)
ฝัง

- Conducted by Mikko Franck, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France performs the "Violin Concerto in d minor" op.47 by Jean Sibelius with Hilary Hahn. Concert recorded live on 2 May at the Radio France Auditorium in Paris.
Four years before the death of the violinist Joseph Joachim (1831-1907), who inspired a great number of 19th-century musical compositions, Jean Sibelius began writing his own Violin Concerto, composed between his second and third symphonies. However, as contrary to Brahms for example, the concerto was not written with Joachim in mind, or even performed by the famous violinist. The concerto was first heard in 1903, then premiered in its final version on 19 October 1905 in Berlin, performed by Karl Halir and conducted by Richard Strauss. The work bears witness to Sibelius's desire to add a sense of vigour to his musical expression, a density far from the sentimentality, for example, of Glazounov (whose Violin Concerto also dates from 1903). Sibelius, himself a talented violinist, tackled one of the most traditional forms, respecting the tripartite progression (a rhapsodic first movement, a sublime cantilena, a joyful rondo), imbued with a unique and foreign inspiration. Eight years later, Nielsen also attempted to renew the concerto form (divided in two parts, each with two movements), but his attempt did not have the same impact. At the heart of Sibelius's creation we find a musical universe both changing and maturing. In 1904, Sibelius moved to Järvenpää, his final home thirty kilometers north of Helsinki, as if in search of a new environment, one of solitude and exigency.
Sibelius never sought modernity at all costs. He was of his time, and not one imposed by the day of his birth. When asked, in 1914 which composer of his time was the greatest, he answered without hesitation: "Schoenberg. But I also enjoy my own music". Little concerned by the musical fashions and current trends, Sibelius was nonetheless a victim of those, though well-intentioned, who saw him as the composer of rising Finnish nationalism.

Because of twoset and her instagram, this feels like watching one of your friends perform even though I’ve never even met her lol
I know, right? Normally watching performances like this on TH-cam it's like, random (talented) musician playing song quite well. Here it's like, "YESSSS HILARY GET IT LOOK AT HER GO"
Dude you perfectly described that feeling
Yes, I love her Instagram!
I agree. It's not particularly healthy though, it's called a parasocial relationship. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasocial_interaction
@@Julia_Berrrlin bruh...
WOW, she has the ability to make people not cough with the power of her playing.
Useful with this whole coronavirus thing.
18:58 this little moment 😂
@@oscarstephanedeniau1305 she wasn't playing at the time
Hard to cough when you're busy getting your breath taken away.
ikr, gotta love it as parts end people started to cough
This conductor is the friendliest looking conductor I've ever seen or met.
actually he is creeping me out. He smiles a lot but his smile is more like "make one little mistake and you are done" than " I am enjoying life today".
@@talhamakak8447 exactly he is the oppressor! free the lovely musicians who are forced to work under him to feed their families!
I like Zubin Mehta too...
Lmfao it's the opposite for me but it makes me laugh that this could be the case
he’s got friendly tavern keeper vibes
Someone: how close to the bridge do you bow?
Hilary: yes
I rate this a 40/24
I see what you did there 2set
this is at 69 likes so I can't like it im so sorry
Ling Ling approves.

My violin: 'Why do you never touch me like that?'
Daddy
RIGHT😭😭
Yes, poor Chris (my violin 🎻😭)
@@dianealline4083 YOUR VIOLIN HAS A NAME TOO?????? I like to think I asked my violin his name because I would’ve never thought of the name otherwise, and it was the first name that came to mind. His name is Pablo, but I’m going to have to give him away to the place I rented him from soon :(
He’s too small for me now.. probably shouldn’t have gotten emotionally attached to him haha
@@idroppedmychicken haha of course, I have many friends who gave a name to their instrument so that's normal for me 😂👌
Even if this violin is a rental you can give him a name because you know that you grow up with him and he's your friend for many hours of hard work so by this way you respect him, that's cool 🙃😂
4:47 absolute chills every single time
i need this sound in my practice violin :"c
Only violinists know how hard it is to let a perfect, crystal clean sound come out of the instrument. But to produce those perfect, crystal clean harmonics in the 3rd movement... Only God knows how to achieve that. Ah, and Hilary Hahn of course. Pure talent and endless practice to the service of the art. Thank you
bro those artificial harmonics are brighter than anything i will ever see 😂
I don't think there are many classical musicians that would do the things Hilary did on Two Set. Not only did she have fun, she let us see a side of a performer that is seldom seen. She is extremely personable, and has made this music more accessible to many who otherwise wouldn't listen.
ray chen
Absolutely!!!
"I" !!! "discovered" her on TH-cam several years ago, viewing clips of her performing as a ~14-16 year old (?) (younger ?) magnificently!
She is my favorite! Such impassioned sonority and conviction!
AND, much to her credit, the willingness to share the personal side of her humanity and humor. She's a real person like the rest us (except, of course, her insane musical genius).
@@BigBiiii I almost wish I were capable of envy. Instead, let me offer my congratulations to you and your wife--with, almost, envy.
coughs in Perlman
I agree - she is that rare mix of supreme talent, grace and humility and is able to both perform to high standards and to play in a more silly and funny manner. I was shocked to learn her age, she is a true icon!
Brett better get ready to play the orchestra part

The interaction between the soloist and orchestra/conductor is endearing. They seem to be having an enjoyable experience together. Long live music.

@@opticalreticle what
@@dingbaaat5569 sorry it was chatgpt generated
This concerto is dialog, not only solo and orhchestra carpet. They can do it very well
Mikko immediately became my favorite conductor after this tour de force, he's so intense yet relaxed in equal measure...and the sick sick sick fit does not bloody hurt his case does it lol
Man, when you hear Hilary play this concerto, it really just ruins hearing everyone else play it...shoot that was next level.
they didn't clap during movements! what self-control!
Ikr. Especially with such an out of this world ling ling performance
There is one little wooo! But in the beginning lol
And they held their coughs until the movements were finished too
I almost jumped up from my chair!
Especially after 1st movement, it was so epic..
I can't believe I can watch this for free 😭What a gift!
So this is public service
The greatest things are free....
I mean...... You still gotta pay for your internet tho xD
you are watching it for free, because other people paid for it.....
@@hmax1591 yes, French people
I physically cannot understand how her intonation can be so flawless... I mean I'm sure every violinist practices like crazy but Hilary is on another level
not to mention her perfect bow control and sound quality
She practices relentlessly, she's been hosting those sessions on social media for sometime. She's a gifted player.
Agree! 💯💕
is 2:43 also correct?
@@90seconds35yes. sul g just has a weird tone to it that can make it sound like it’s out of tune when it’s not lol
33:22 This little flute arpeggio adds SO MUCH to the personality of the movement and this is actually the ONLY recording that this passage is so emphasized. Great job Mikko!
Yes very true, I have only this recording which captures the best music from the composer himself..
This recording would be pure gold if Hahn played the 2nd movement like Vengerov, because his interpretation of this movement is just sublime.
@@heyytheree Yes I agree with you, but thats just based on my personal liking.
i love the conductor at that time stamp. like he doing the party hips

Hilary Hahn: Performs an outstanding performance of Sibelius violin concerto.
Eddy watching: 👁👄👁

But first we need to get them to 3M
Eddy needs to start some masterclasses with Hillary. What luck! This season Hillary is on sabbatical until September.
@@da96103 And right after, I get to see her live.
I kinda sound like an a*****e but whatever.
I can’t wait till they hit 3M 😂
I feel that many soloist consider the orchestra to be their 'backing band' but Hilary considers herself as an intrigal part of the ensemble. Not above it. Brilliant lady.
You are Absolutely correct about that. 😊💖

Well he's from finland so..
Hilary plays in very finnish way. I think that Mikko, conductor from Finland, has told many things to her. Mikko is very good violinist also.
Yes! I really came here to say the same thing! The musical chemistry between Mikko and Hilary is off the charts!!
when you check the comments and it's all about two set
Jeff Hsu so cringe

It's so true..
What is 2 set?

I am well aware of Hillary's ability to play but that dress is STUNNING on her. I'm so used to her in twoset merch 😂😂😂
And can we just appreciate the conductor! He is so happy and makes the whole experience just that much enjoyable.
No we can't.
I'm still trying to get over the fact that he sat down periodically. Very weird. Would be just like Hahn sitting down periodically. Very, very weird.
@@PaperGrape Itzhak Perlman sits everytime he plays the violin. Not weird at all.
da96103 thats because he has polio
Smart man
Hilary's expressions at 6:38 are priceless, she's just enjoying the epicness of a very well written, very well directed fragment.
She's rocking out.
The way Hilary looks around at other musicians when she’s not playing is just so considerate and endearing ❣️
Just so you know, I put this video on so I would concentrate on my work. 36 minutes later and I did absolutely nothing except looking at Hilary playing this like the genius she is
Yeah, this performance it's like a magnet, the music isn't enough, you must to watch it too.
@@jgbusquets yes! That is exactly it!!
I can relate! Doing that kind of stuff myself all the time 😂
Yes, and so did I. Second screen remained dark..and worth every second to listen and watch this renaissance woman express her talent, genius and love for the music.
Same here!!
I can hear Eddy sweating in the corner with his new violin
𝙻𝚖𝚊𝚘
😂😂
i can hear Brett screaming too
Let's see what Brett does about the orchestra 😋
I'm so hyped for this! The style suits Eddy perfectly 🤗
Who the f* is Eddy and why is everyone commenting about him? You're all pissing me off with that. What is he, some kind of Cartoon Network character?
The flageolettes at 33:44 are indeed a miracle. Seldom have I heard such a lightness in this, combined with such an artistry.
This performance could never get old… we are lucky enough for being able to listen to it freely.
That extended fourth finger vibrato...
*it's practical*
*it's practical*
Brett and eddy : *we dont do that here*
it's practical
We don't do that here ✋
She's definitly Ling Ling.
Does she practice 40h ?
Kogure yep
Every hour.
agreed
The Ling Ling KING don’t need to practice
Mikko Franck is an excellent conductor!
I swear, if I had Hilary Hahn’s 4th finger vibrato, especially on the high positions, ESPECIALLY on the G string, my entire life would be complete. I’ve been playing violin for 10 years and my vibrato will never compare to hers.
to be hair tho, she has been playing the violin for probably like more than 30 years so hard work does pay off...
Getting this sound out near the end of the board with vibrato with the 4th always amazes me...
18:01 Hilary and the conductor give each other a smiling look as if to say: "We're killing it aren't we?!"
They give each other more smiles in other moments of the concert too. They really enjoyed the performance.
@@jgbusquets Yeah, you're right. I enjoy seeing that kind of thing, gives a sense of their working chemistry and appreciation for the moment.
That cheeky little smile 😏 I love it!
And then, at the end of the movement - she pauses, in the moment, for about 3 seconds, then slyly grins, like "NAILED it!" :)
Why did this remind me of 'your lie in april'. T_T
All these comments have been rightly praising the musicianship on display here, but by God the audio quality here is the best available on TH-cam. The technicians did a masterful job recieving soloist and orchestra tone with such clarity.
Yes!
yes
@@lilianakersten8824 Not very good. Audio quality may be good but I dont like the interpretation.
True the best recording I can hear on the entire youtube. Maxim Venegrov one is also in terms of interpretation good but bad quality of audio turns me here. I also like interpretation at 2:38 starting with very quick notes(I dont know what to call them) and I love it. In many recording I hear that section started slow and then getting in pace like Ray Chen did and I dont like it. Also in many recordings the orchestra starting from 3:22 is very fast which again turns me in here as this recording offers that passage at a slower pace which sounds very good. Very nice work by orchestra they all played in harmony and created awesome music I am not going to switch to other recording for years to come. Sadly Maxim Venegrov recording has a poor audio quality as compared to this but I like his interpretation.
@@jyotsnasrivastava6373 I liked Vengerov's interpretation a lot, but nothing beats Hilary's. Her tone is utterly clean and clear, all the melodic passages come forward with such clarity and refinement and she never adds unnecessary embellishments. Sure, there might be a single mistake or two but it's insignificant, this remains my favorite interpretation, I actually prefer Hilary's to Ida Haendel's which is also a wonderful interpretation (Sibelius himself loved it).
The difference it makes when ego is taken out of the equation, and integrity is paced forward is palpable. Superb bowing, in-depth understanding, immaculate performance.
I've watched this about... 50 times... and I can safely say that her performance is the best version of the Sibelius concerto. I can't listen to any other.
Fine, but I'm sure that you wouldn't notice the difference if 100 other sound tracks from 100 different violinists were substituted without your knowledge.
@@quabledistocficklepo3597 Comment of inadequacy.
@@quabledistocficklepo3597 As a classical music enthusiast, this is false. Every soloist has different styles, interpretations, and nuances of a piece, as well as the orchestra itself. You could very much tell different recordings apart if you've listened to them enough.
@@quabledistocficklepo3597 oooooh you would, for sure, if you listen to a piece well enough and you listen to classical music enough, you learn how each soloist plays has a different way to phrase and interpret different pieces, why do you think people have a favourite recording if they're all the same? once i listened to about 30 different tracks of Bach's Gavotte en Rondeau, all were different from each other in some way and i could definetely tell, the more classical music you listen to, the more details you pick up
If you listen to the 1960 recording of Jascha Heifetz playing this piece, you'll understand why Hilary is among the Greatest of all time. He bears the title of GOAT, among those ever recorded, and she at least ties him for the performance.

She and Two Set have done great contributions to the classic music to the young digital generation, for letting them know that classic music is cool, smart, requires hardworking, and fun. It’s worth taking more than 10 years to attain beautiful sounds and sophistic rhythm, while it is also cool to curate music pieces on TikTok over one night.
more than 10 years of practicing 40 hours a day!
It also takes money. I’d love to send my kids for private violin lessons but...
True tho.. before this i only knew few famous pieces like canon, la campanella, four seasons, etc. Somehow watching 2set really opens my eyes to many more composers and more brilliant pieces.
Hillary au sommet de son art; Miko et l'orchestre sont au top. Parfait + parfait = Perfecto merci pour cela des perfectos c'est ce qu'il nous faut dans ce monde
Only being able to click the like button once is a shame.
You can tell from her facial expressions/body language and the way she turns to watch the orchestra when she's not playing that she really enjoys playing and sharing music, it's not just an act. Love it!
You are right, I am about to suppose she is rather simple and empathic person, there's no stardust 😊
wasnt that remarkable,
@@nss4472 But I hope it will be some stardust upon Mikko, another rather simple and empathic person. :-
I thought her expression was very serious and stern. Not that it was malicious. I'm certain she enjoyed listening to her fellow musicians. I think it was more that she was concentrating and was in the zone to focus on the performance.
Sophia Sharp. Isn´t it time for us to join a sort of sister/brother- relationship. I like your comment, and I hope you dont dislike mine . As I notice we have followed each other a long time. And rised together in this strive for eternal famousness. PS I like your glasses!

@@samdabeast3186 Im sorry, but what is a twosetter? Im sorry, i just find out about this woman rn accidentaly (i dont even play the violin) but i got really curious.
Animated movements.
And that is the ultimate greatness of Hilary Hahn: she is a brilliant violinist, but also humble and fun.
@@lou-gt3oy As no one replied to your Q - A TwoSetter is a fan of TwoSet Violin, 2 guys called Brett & Eddy who are professional violinists and who introduced me to Hilary. Non-violinists, even non-musicians, enjoy their channel which is educational and fun.
Not a single violinist could reach a half of Hilary's skills, even the very best ones of the past, even Heifetz. Hilary Hahn is unique, the others are kids in a kindergarten ! At 35'35, one old instrumentalist understands deeply what is happening, an absolute miracle, the nectar of violin, the sublimation of Sibelius because of Hilary Hahn ! She is the ambrosia of Gods, Hilary Hahn is a Goddess.
I'm sorry but Hilary Hahn is definitly the best violinist for me. She has everything, incredible intonation, good technique and really beautiful style. Her second movement made me realise how good she is.
Imagine all the electronics stopped working.. witness something like this would only be possible for rich folks.. those who dislike dont have a clue how fortunate we are to be able to hear things like this for free..
You're right. Btw, it helps me to appreciete this wonderful concerto more ☺️ even thouhg I've listened this literally a thouthand times
Or for people with violins & sheet music who could play it.
The people working for the public radio here in France (and the working people in general bc we are very attached to our public services) have been fighting really hard to keep a quality public service (including this channel, which is publicly financed) - with relative success. Dramatically, the different French governments have been trying, one after the other, to slash the budget of Culture - de facto transforming it into an actual rich people priviledge.
some classical concerts actully cost less than pop concerts
ur spitting strait facts. my dad records classical music and then airs it on radio and TV in Israel. last year it was on a more mainstream channel that had no respect to the music and fucking put an add between the movements of the symphony. don't worry, after he saw what they did he made sure it would be the first and last time he would air anything on that channel
I dont have the power to envy. You envy a competitor, but you don't envy a goddess
Truest words ever
this one speaks facts
❤️
It seems like she's playing a very difficult piece of music with such ease and enjoyment.Truly enjoyable watching her performance.
this made me cry
Hilary Hahn is definitely maturing as a violinist. She sacrificed the "perfect sound" for layers upon layers of emotion. In my opinion, that is one of the most musical things to do. Bravo Hilary Hahn!
Was just thinking along your lines, Flux. This is merely a personal opinion, and I don't wish to offend us chaps, but as women mature there is something about those emotions gathered that can be incorporated in music in such a deep and beneficial way. Perhaps we chaps approach it differently
I feel the same. Attended her Tchaikovsky concerto performance like 12 years ago at SFO. Well played like a bot but I couldn’t feel emotions. But now this, amazing
I always admired Hilary Hahn and always noted her perfect technicality. I am suddenly however feeling such a deep life-changing wave of emotion! ❤
Matthew Coldicutt
why women, specifically?
@@matthewcoldicutt5951 AHAHHAHAHAHAH
I like how during the pause between the first and second movements people immediately started coughing, like as if they had been holding it all the way through lol
Lol i really dont know what it is about coughing at concerts? I dont cough unless im eating or drinking. Shrugs..maybe people need throat lozenges during concerts idk.
Um.....they WERE holding until the break between movements. It's what polite audiences do (AKA - old school concert etiquette).
@@Dee010smaybe its because a lot of old people watch these concerts??? I genuinely dunno tho ive never rly felt the need to cough during a concert 13:30
One of the best performances of anything, by anyone.
Ever.
They make you realise that the piece is even greater than you already knew it was.
Ms Hahn’s virtuosity is musical, daring, apt, faultless and extraordinary.
Speaking for myself, I don’t know whether to laugh with joy or cry - with joy.
I usually manage to do both.
Wonderful.
Every time I watch this recording I can't help but think the flutist matched her nails to Hilary's dress on purpose. By far the best recording of this concerto!!
This is insane ....one of the worlds premiere violinists playing in company with the best orchestra in the world that's not in Germany - and still the criticism flows from the keyboard warriors .......some people are hard to please ...we should all be thankful that we get to see this mastery at work. I certainly am.
Cameron Gaines
Silly me. Here I've been relying on my ears when I really should have been reading reviews.
Exactly. What a joy to be able to view and hear live concerts during a pandemic (or any time). Hilary & the orchestra became Sibelius for these minutes. For that, and for being able to take it all in on-screen, I am totally grateful.
gJb 1 Are you kidding me? Hilary has so much emotion, you can see it throughout the entire concerto.
@gJb 1
Do you like her , or not?
@@clayel1 Those who make that comment about Hilary Hahn are not worth engaging. It's a silly and unwarranted criticism.
This recording of Hahn seems to be saying
"Here's my Sibelius" rather than "Here's Sibelius" which is actually the pinnacle of musicality.
Mark Schoenberg kind of the point....it’s called artist integration.
I though this works are different from other version of Sibelius too.
Lawrence Cisek which is fine, pretty sure that’s what he was saying
I was agreeing. I guess I could made clearer.
Dear friends this was that last composition that sibelius composed before he stopped,, his daughter was gone,, so absolutely he will express different feelings in this,, in addition to that,the queen hilary is the only one who achieved it technically and musically,, if sibelius was alive he would hug her...
One of the greatest violinists of our time playing one of the greatest concertos of all time. This is music at its best.
this is why human players are worse than midi instruments. once the sound of midi instruments have been perfected we wont need humans to play. these "musicians" turn music into trash by distorting and self indulging in the destruction. absolutely pathetic. its sad that we have to live in a world like this, but MIDI gives us hope!
@@opticalreticlethis is such a brain dead take that I can only assume it's satire. If it's not, god help you and your ears 👍🏼
11:31 j’ai des frissons à chaque fois c’est ouf
This sibelius concerto hits differently.
Better
@Anchi H-tws26 he meant the interpretation
Totally, I can't stop replaying
Just a suggestion check out Vengerov's
18:55 *Movement Finishes* ... And the ENTIRE audience comes to realize that they are experiencing critical lung failure.
Cough Cough
Lol
ROFL 🤣
Only left lung failure
If twoset didn't spike my interest in classical music, I would never know what I was missing out on. It is glorious to see these great musicians perform.
The third movement always knocks my socks off even when I hear it on a radio station that plays classical music all the time. A wonderful and exuberant performance from Hilary.
Hilary is stunning in this, musicaly and emotionally entrancing, but I have to applaud the entire orchestra as they don't seem to be getting much love in the comments. They all are performing with emotion and beauty and it just creates a stunning sound. I also want to say thankyou to the most happy and wonderful conductor I think I have ever watched. If you weren't feeling good for this performance in the orchestra, that smile would melt away any anxiety, and he truly paid attention to every detail and kept the orchestra together following Hilary when she took artistic liberty. This whole performance was perfect!
"musicaly"
i noticed that too. this conductor is in complete control. and he certainly looks so happy.
the conductor was great, reminded me of Peter Griffin
Totally agree!
Absolutely. I noticed the conductor at the very beginning. He already gave a really emotional entry. Lovely.
The special connection between Mikko and Hilary is worth some thoughts. Mikko is another kind of conductor, as I see it. He is not some Furtwängler, or Karajan, he is only himself, smiles at Hilary, even sits when he is conducting, as if he is aware that the orchestra are the ones that does the real job. Together with Hilary. He has abdicated from the high position that conductors often have, but still does his job the best he can. And that helps the music to come through. At least it seems as Hilary highly appreciate this new order.
Look at Mikko Franck from 33:25, he is a lucky man! And why shouldn´t he, he has Hilary by his side and a wonderful orchestra. I also get lucky seeing him and Hilary together.
There’s a special rapport. I’ve not seen Hilary smile this much during a performance!
It's so beautiful when the soloist considers the conductor clever enough and the conductor considers the soloist even more clever though. There were the known professional courtesy, so nice!
Both are so right in that! 😃
ego, sitting down, and smiles aside, he's no furtwangler because he's an actually good conductor! Furtwangler was very much not a good conductor.
he actually has a spine condition that requires him to take a seat once in a while......his having to sit down almost has nothing to do with your statement although I'm sure he might agree with the sentiment....
I can’t describe how much like this concerto
Thank you for like my skills in English language don’t enable me fluently express my opinion on this great concerto
This is by far my favorite recording of Sibelius. Hilary's Sibelius is so cold and enticing, while also being passionately heartwarming. And she plays everything flawlessly. Truly one of the best violinists ever.
Some of my favorite moments:
3:34 intense violins join
4:33 😍🥰💓
7:02 Hilary is so pretty
8:22 Bb to Bb jump
9:00 Sudden intensity by orchestra, start of cadenza
11:05 The emotion... 😭
11:30 The pain... 😭
14:26 so epic
15:23 😍🥰💓😍🥰💓😍🥰💓😍🥰💓
17:17 imagine two big black cinematic bars appear
28:45 third movement
30:05 bum bum bum bum bum BUM BUM BUM
30:41 HILARY SMIRKS HAHAH WHAT
32:05 EPICCCCCCCCCC
33:45 sexy harmonics
35:15 Space!
35:45 BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
36:07 Bravo!
Again, best violin concerto, best recording.
And the second movement?
this is my favorite comment ever
how far did you look, because this is indeed flawless, but dear god it is boring. pleaaase listen to mutter or perlman or ehnes or chen
Also at 35:47 ba-ba!

Yep...there's Always one in every crowd. Congrats, bud. 🙄😅🤣
Hillary is so great but we need to not forget about the other members of the orchestra.
They did an awesome job playing with her.
Yeah the orchestra sounds so good. Really full and powerful during the big parts then lush and delicate during the soft parts
@@emmyyang4339 I'd like to think they did Sibelius proud
@@brie1512 Me, too. It seems to me that this is the way he wanted it.
She had an orchestra!?
Nobody:
Not even a single soul:
Hilary's fourth finger: Me, Me, ME! Look at ME!!!!
It’s practical!

@@hanfeiwang1 Oh my- THE REFERENCE AHHAHAA
I AM THE CAPTAIN *NOW*
did you get THAT reference?
Her fourth finger is magical.
I LOVE HER!
She plays with the gusto and intensity of a rock guitarist. But no unnecessary flamboyance. Just complete commitment and immersion and joy. Her body language communicates, but only what is also there in her playing. It seems completely sincere and honest. An expression of real musicianship, not of mere bravado.
Beau défi (gagné) pour Radio France qui a invité à la fois Hilary Hahn et Mikko Franck pour interpréter une oeuvre de Sibelius : compositeur étrange (que j'adore) et oeuvre inattendue (que je ne connaissais pas). Bravo à toutes et à tous, et merci Madame H.H pour exprimer votre passion avec tant d'expressivité.
Orchestre enthousiasmant : il suffit d'observer H.H quand elle ne joue pas.
@@alter-europa1094 You just need to make sure you don't overcount your rest measures.
@@johnlime1469I’m sorry, but I don’t think your comment is justified: are the rest measures too numerous and too long in your opinion? Or on the contrary, are they insufficient and too short? Have you thought about the origins of the composer, faced with the long winter nights? And the excitement of long sunny days? Nothing comparable with the last night of the dinosaurs nor with that of the last fighters, of course!😀
@@alter-europa1094 Oh no no. I was making a joke. You said (or at least that's what Google Translate tells me), that the people playing in the orchestra can just watch H. H. play solo while they're not playing, so I said that they're going to have to be wary of how long they watch her, because they might miss the timing that they're supposed to resume playing.
@@johnlime1469 Dear friend, there was a bad translation somewhere. I said that the orchestra was very good to the point of enthusing H.H. So your remark is good but in the other direction: it is HH who must not forget to play. Cordially, and good night in the USA. Here, in the South of France (GARD), it is 50°F at noon but we are entitled to a big sun. No dinosaur on the horizon 😅
I can't help but smile when seeing her move to the music and turn to watch her fellow musicians when she's not playing. Clearly it's so much more than a job or a role for her.
She does this all the time - just enjoying the performance. It's lovely.
She’s living the dream! 🎻
She said she knows it’s good when she gets goosebumps in a performance.
She's the type gladfully look at the orchestra while waiting for her part soloist
Anyone else here to listen what it's "supposed to sound like" ready for Eddy's Sibelius drop at 3 mill subs? haha! Amazing.
I think you can't go into his drop with that attitude. You'll just be disappointed.
LING LING GRANGER not as good as Hilary he cannot produce such a good sound with violin.... no hate i luv twoset
It shouldve been a orchestra but alas covid
haha yes,, here wondering why eddy is frckn out so much abt having to play it lol
now that I've heard it, it makes me so much more excited to hear eddy play it :DDD
same :D and I'm really curious with brett's arrangement for the entire orchestra XD
Violence, passion, magie d'un violon dont j'imagine qu'il est tenu par une magicienne.
İ'd like to point out that the violin has no frets to guide the player's fingering.
This is mind-boggling to me. The hours of training for that level of precision is absolutely insane.
We would place lines of “fret” tape onto the fingerboard as a guide which is both super helpful for a beginner and also kinda cute. You can put any color tape you want.
This performance is why she is one of the BEST violinists in the WORLD!
Oh yes Indeed, she is.
I love the conductor. He looks so chill
Me too
26:03 How is it possible for music this beautiful to even exist?
Thanks to the greatest classical music genius
15:12 When the violin solo plays similar patterns of a melody, and the orchestra behind it makes a chord progression out of it is really cool.
Please, don’t ever take this video down. I need to listen to this piece at least once a week to cleanse my soul of the stress over the pandemic, college, and my own personal issues. I absolutely adore this concerto and this specific recording. I honestly cannot imagine how Hilary, the audience, and the orchestra felt when they heard this sublime recording. It is simply perfectly executed and extremely vulnerable, emotional, and full of intense passages that run chills down my spine. The sheer amount of devotion, clarity, and impactful phrasing that Hilary creates is out of this world. This has to be the most emotive performance of Sibelius’s violin concerto in history.
The sheer anguish inside of the musical context of this concerto is fairly deep and dramatic, but that’s what makes it so remarkable and memorable. Sibelius dreamed of becoming a soloist but unfortunately was never able to achieve his dream. Sibelius wrote this concerto for a kind of ghostly self. He was a failed violinist. He had begun lessons late, at 14, but then “the violin took me by storm, and for the next ten years it was my dearest wish, my overriding ambition, to become a great virtuoso.” In fact, aside from the double handicap of his late start and the provincial level of even the best teaching available in Finland, he had neither the physical coordination nor the temperament for such a career. In 1890-91, when he was in Vienna studying composition, he played in the conservatory orchestra (its intonation gave him headaches), and on January 9, 1891, he auditioned for the Philharmonic. “When he got back to his room,” we read in one of the great Sibelius biographies, “Sibelius broke down and wept. Afterwards he sat at the piano and began to practice scales.” With that he gave up, though a diary entry in 1915 records a dream of being twelve and a virtuoso. His Violin Concerto is imbued both with his feeling for the instrument and the pain of his farewell to his “dearest wish” and “overriding ambition.”
And yet, he wrote one of the most challenging and physical demanding violin concertos ever. Sibelius is a genius.
Classical music is my life... Hilary Hahn’s interpretation of this violin concerto helps me the most with any stress or unwelcome feelings because it’s my favorite piece with my favorite violinist. If this video gets taken down.... I’ll be in shambles. The orchestra is beautiful; Hilary Hahn’s playing (as well as herself) is beautiful. And taking this down will be the end of it all.
I like your comment. Please, dont ever take this comment down. That is all I have to say. And we always will have the music.
Sofia, I forgot to adress my comment to you. Let me take it again: "I like your comment. Please, dont ever take this comment down, This is all I have to say. And we always will have music."
Sofia Sanchez, I myself listens to Sibelius almost every day. Perhaps I am an addict? But no, there are worse forms of addiction, I believe.Greetings from Sweden!
I’ve been listening to it once a week for the pat 6 months hahah this piece one of my favorite things in the world and such a gift to help me through college
I think Hilary Hahn is not only the best violinist, but also the best personality in classical music today.
A wonderful thing to be a genius violinist and a lovely person, both at once.
One of the best truly. Alma Deutscher is another great personality though in todays classical music. If you do not know her, I strongly reccommend to look her up :)
Don't Dismiss Lindsey Stirling. She is also bringing a lot of fun to the classics.
@@TeachUBusiness 😣🥴
While Hilary is no doubt a very talented musician, the title of best violinist can only be given to Heifetz
7:26 I find the conductor's little nod so... I guess wholesome is the word? Like, that smile, and that nod, like he said: "nailed it"😁
he is a joy to watch and his enjoyment actually adds to an amazing performance
Try fentanyl
Throughout the video I was alternating between euphoric chills, being grateful for my senses, and a strong desire to send this to anyone who thinks they "don't like classical music." I mean this is quite literally the most epic thing on TH-cam.
Thank you Taka. I also have strong desires to send this to all my friends, and also to the ones that probably will not take notice at all. So good that I have friend in you.

love the camera, they really know where to focus during certain moments (ahem ahem fourth finger vibrato 🤤)
Yeah, that was a good production.
LMAO yes
She has one of the strongest pinkies in the business. She must lift weights with it.
Oh yes her fourth Finger vibrato is just epic, but also her whole playing
She is pushing that violin to absolute edge of what it can do. very impressive.
God that blew me away. She has NO hesitation, it is a joy to watch her. I wish she played Sibelius when she comes to the Wigmore in london instead of bach. I love Bach But SIbeilus! Few people can play him so well - Please Hilary, I implore you - Wigmore & Sibelius next time :)
I just stumbled upon this video after watching TwoSetViolin...
...so I thought that I just skip forward a couple of seconds to take a look...
... and then I just could not leave until the very end, listened to it with my eyes closed. Captivating.
I still do not get classical music... but it seems that even if I still do not understand it, I might just enjoy listening to it.
I got into classical music because I understood it. Sometimes it works either ways. you do you pal
I came here to check on my opinion of this piece. Now I'm sure that I was right. How silly it is to rate this as one of the four, or five, or... greatest violin concertos. It's perfectly respectable, of course, but it doesn't make you want to hear it again and again.It doesn't thrill There is no excitement. It is...okay.
And yet I have found the more I hear it, the more I am intrigued and want to hear it again.
_Try starting with Bach! He is just a set of complicated contrapuntal themes taken to the N'TH degree! If if you are good at math, your head will spin and you will get addicted!_ 😁
Ah ! Gergely, you have made a great start ! But maybe look for slightly "easier" pieces, cast around to see what you like.
Beethoven Symphonies 6 and 7 are GORGEOUS, for example. There's a TON of gorgeous music out there.....dip into different things (You Tube is ideal ), and see what you like...
Even seek out Andre Rieu, because thousands of ordinary folk LOVE his shows, as I do, they are easy to enjoy.
But I mostly adore things like Chopin Ballades, (etc), Bach's Goldbergs, Rachmaninov All Night Vigil, Prokoviev Classical Symphony, the list is endless... xx
I want to thank Brett and Eddy as you guys helped introduce to me this amazing talented beauty
Just listen to and appreciate the music, stop typing these comments which have already been repeated 300+ times in a single video its meaningless and spam
@@bruh7130 so am I not allowed to thank them? Maybe you should just listen and appreciate it without being so negative in the comments. Boi bye.
As a teacher and musician I do want to spread the word though that while TwoSet make entertaining videos about such fantastic musicians (Ms Hahn, Ray Chen etc) they have made quite the amount of viola jokes and put-downs to the point where two of my viola students quit music. They quit private lessons with me and they dropped out of music at school because they "couldn't deal with the jokes and classmates that made fun of them for being a violist and dissed constantly by TwoSet". Some people have said to me "okay, but the students don't have to watch these videos" yet unfortunately in their music classes at school the teacher devotes a portion of class time to watching the latest TwoSet upload. I've written to schools and got no decent response. Both students took the easy way out and switched to sports.
I just need to point out that good AND bad come from TwoSet videos and their comment section.
With or without TwoSet, I love Hilary Hahn's performances and recordings.
That slightly sharp note where it goes from the c to the b at 0:45 .. I don't know why but I think it's so beautiful.. And I've never heard that from anyone else or on any other recording.. It's so great
She isn't from this planet ! It's a privilege to see her play live.
4:50 and 15:45 Legitimate tears. Fantastic to see Hilary Hahn stepping out from her usual comfort zone and playing with such unrestrained emotion.
Same
@@RadioGnome606 Same
4:50 always makes me tear up for some reason lol
My absolute favorite part.
oh my god sameeee. it's so beautiful and poignant i can't even.
HOW IS SHE 40
she's w h a t
Good genoma :)
she eat really healthy
40？！HOW THE HELL？
40 standing for 40 hours a day
Crazy how she plays it like it's the easiest piece ever. Looks so damn effortless and relaxed. How is that possible. Even Sarah Chang struggled and lost control in one part of the 3rd movement when playing live. Hahn hardly breaks a sweat here, while Joshua Bells sweats like mad and panting by the end of the Tchaikovsky concerto at the BBC Proms!
Mikko Franck shows in this that is a clever coordinator of music. He is not the old type of conductor, no, he is more the link between the solist and the orchestra. With his humble attitude to marvelous Hilary and this marvelous orchestra he shapes the understanding that brings this music into full bloom.
Sorry that I missed the small word "he" . "Mikko Franck shows in this that he is a clever coordinator of music" is was I meant to say.
Mikko knows this Cincerto, he has played it by soloist
Who else is here from TwoSetViolin?
Brett must be staring in awe
He always does when she's around. LOL
So do I.
I ship them two tbh don’t even care
@@optimisticchaos2616 i kinda hate it when people ship eddy and brett.. I prefer brett with hilary
Me!
Like everyone lol but its because shes so freaking amazing
17:43 I don’t really know much about violin, but this part always amazes me.
Also,thanks to TwoSet so that I can get to know Hilary and appreciate her amazing playing❤️
Tiffanye e *Hilary
Besides that, you seem to know just enough about violin
Tiffanye e this part is insane to play. I’m learning this piece right now, and I’m so stuck on this part. But thank you for noticing, respects
I love Hilary's attack on the string. Not only is the playing gorgeous the production is sublime making this my all-time favorite. Bravo to everyone involved!!
