Yes. As a violinist I can. But this is devilishly hard to pull, so I would not assume who is who. Ok. Augustin is the cleanest of all modern violinists, so if you told me that one of the recordings was him, I’d know which one.
Hadelich plays clean with impeccable tone quality (like Szeryng, who I believe was the previous owner of this violin) SoHyun Ko plays with the more emotional intensity and is my favourite here. If I listened blind, I would have guessed the perfected tone was the seasoned pro.
Augustine is both. Started his career as a prodigy and is now a seasoned professional. Should make everyone excited to see how SoHyun Ko develops professionally!!!
I cannot finish Augustine's part because I feel like he is rushing it... Too tense. SoHyun Ko's part is not the best play I've ever listened to, but I listened with joy.
While SoHyun Ko plays extremely well, there is a clear difference between recordings. On the technical side, Augustin articulates every note, and bow stroke. Nothing is left smudgy. And while you sort of get the feeling SoHyun is trying to keep up with this fast pace, it’s clear that Augustin’s playing is relaxed. On the musical side, they both phrase well, however Augustin has the expertise to bring out more of the subtleties that are so difficult to bring out while also balancing the technical side of this piece. Both play wonderfully though!
I agree that Augustin's playing looks / sounds more relaxed. SoHyun's version slightly sounds like she is in a rush to keep up with the tempo and hit all the keys as compared to Augustin. That piece is indeed very hard and technically challenging so it needs even more years of experience on the violin to make the playing more refined, that's why Augustin nailed it. But they are both great regardless.
There is a big difference. He is a lot more in control both technically and dynamically. Listening to Hadelich, you can just feel the spanish gypsy vibe in the air. With Sohyun (age 12), she is more focused on getting each note right. She will become a great violinist but this can't be compared.
Yet aside from technical issues she has better phrasing and musicality somehow as seen for instance in the spacing and slowing of the closing notes. Hers was far more elegant
This randomly popped up in my rabbit hole of watching shorts. I’m no musical expert so pardon the lack of technical lingo. While the prodigy was able to match the pace and notes, the touch on the strings feels relatively monotonous and hasn’t developed that emotion or distinction of when to play it hard or when to soften it. The professional has that finesse or touch so each note has an emotion or voice. It’s a subtly like that can separate the level of development or experience on top of their ability. No doubt SoHyun Ko will develop that as she continues. So nothing is meant negatively.
I really like the glissando and staccato from hadelich, it gives the piece more character. Sohyun on the other hand makes a better difference within dynamics I also really like her double stops. Both are wonderful!!❤
SoHyun, as a young prodigy at that time, performs so precise and on point, but hadelich as a professional, improvises and plays around with the piece as he likes. Quite impressive and quite expectable. Both are so tasty ear candy. Loved them as an amateur classical music listener. Respect to both with much much humility.
Considering the difference in age So Hyun Ko is amazing, but Augustin Hadelich has the advantage of years of development as a musician. His articulation is almost flawless. (No one can ever claim to be flawless). The bottom line is that playing violin is not competitive nor about who's the greater 'gymnast'
SoHyun is technically excellent, wonderful. But Augustin knows and feels the world the music is coming from and expresses it through his playing. He even layers it with a cuteness of his own, like a teenager showing you a personal magic trick. This is why his tone is warmer and fuller. It’s not simply performing a piece. It’s a whole world coming to life and made concrete and intelligible for the listener.
Both are incredible, how ever the quality of recording is very different. Augustin clearly has more experience and it sounds better but not to say that SoHyun Ko sounds bad. They both sound so incredible.
The girl has a slight desynchronization between her left and right hand, especially in the first fast passage. But sometimes imperfection also adds color to a show.
Hadelich's sounds professional and his technique is amazing. While Sohyun's is great too. She was just 12 y.o back then (cmiiw), yet her playing already amazed me and lots of people. I can't wait for her development in the future.
Very, very different. I listened with my eyes closed numerous times and found myself gravitating to Ko's performance. It was far sweeter and sounds more naturally flowing. Hadelich's rendition was a bit harsh and mechanical with way too much bow scrape.
Young people have a new style that both transcends AND renews the past.... the orchestras also in recent years (30 -35 years) have really bloomed upwards - I feel as though I am living in the BEST TIME for MUSIC. The musicianship & creativity is WAY WAY ADEPT AND MAGNIFIIENT - STUNNING TIMES ! ! !
SoHyun's tone has an angelic purity to it. Her high notes are like nothing I heard before. both however are amazing. When I play my violin, the dog runs through the doggy door not to be seen for hours.
I was first introduced to this piece by the movie Here Come the Co-Eds where it was performed by Evelyn and her magic violin. Still my favorite because you could feel the joy and energy through the performance
They’re both so incredible and at first listen I was just like yeah they’re both just perfect but with a couple more listens, I heard just a slight kind of “textural” difference. In one part, hers sounds like just a very smooth and impressive scale where as Augustine ads like a almost whispyness and lightness to the top note. Just gives it a tad bit of extra razzle dazzle.
Both are too good to compare Personally I enjoy listening to SoHyun's version more( idk why) But Augustin's version is also so good❤ Ahhh can't explain
All these comments praising the pro over the prodigy, lol. If they were blind folded and not told who’s playing, I bet none of these comments would be so biased. Confirmation bias is real.
There is a clear difference She is insanely good, but her notes were smudgy in fast passages I can guarantee you that a person with musical experience could tell you which one sounds better and has more experience, even blindfolded
I think slow playing as in how the play adagio movements separates the child/teen prodigies and adults a lot more clearly than rapid passages. The difference is also very apparent in how they perform composers like Brahms. I'm saying all this coming from a piano angle though.
Augustin will go down in musical phenomena, history books, impeccable, He is definitely fitting more music into a shorter period of time . His movements on the strings are incredible in Nature yet noticeably and delicately engineered to make each note count 🔥He serenades the bow to his singing violin 🌹delightfulness and sweetness, full of joy and excitement,👏👏👏 Bravo,Bravo SO HYUN KO For a younger Student,WOW for YOU 👼You’re ability to reach the heights I’m certain is in your future 👼 Unfathomable Both of You 🔥
Mute, then flip over phone or turn off screen, or simply walk away. Then come back after 7.5 minutes and then just turn on the sound. Now enjoy and/or judge without bias.
Augustins clean, airy and crisp articulation on the staccato with superb bow control in bringing the bow off the strings on up and down strokes which aids in that beautiful light and airy yet rich tone as well as playing the doublestops closer to the frog, (lower half) the bow position not at the usual slant to get a softer sweet tone, but the heavier gruff tone he achieves got me so excited being as I played and performed and lived and breathed this piece age 14 or 15 when I was in high school, that I grabbed a lotion tube and tried to follow along the fingerings and then grabbed a glass drink bottle and started playing the double stops on the bottle neck and bowing along with a big big smile on my face when I should be in the store buying some groceries LOL. 🤓I pulled my violin out a year ago to run through and refresh my technique and recollection, and I played so hard that I played my fingerboard write off my antique violin which is somewhere in the 120-year-old range .. hygrometers exist in the violin case for a reason.... 🤪 This piece, Mendelssohn Concerto in E minor and Beethovens Violin Concerto D Major (Itzhak Perlmans performance is pretty much the example I aspired to) at that time. and other favorites from middle school like Vivaldi 4 seasons, Mozart Concerto in C major etc and some others commited to memory are a blast. My observations for So Hyuns performance however, right after she jumps to harmonic notes /4th position and back down to first and doublestops, she ends up sliding down exxageratedy resulting in a near syncopated twang which some of the other commenters have observed as being rushed or sounding rushed. I cringed when I heard it. There is a degree of off tempo and drawn out note that are just a natural part of expression, as are body movements, facial expressions are but only in the right passages, in the right way, and only so much to accentuate dramatic effect, but able to recover on time and in tempo on the next measure or note. Still, a fascinating and remarkable performance by a fellow young Korean female.
Hadelich was a prodigy since he was very young. I saw him playing Sibelius with 11 years old in Brasília. And he played in a different moment for us , he made a question : What would you like to listen? And everybody asked him different very difficult partituras and he played everything like a MASTER!
Augustin gets a thumbs up for me his techniques are more precise exciting and thrilling to watch and you feel glad to be alive and humble to watch a virtuoso plays from the heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Augustin comes close to what niccolo paganinis sound feel freedom of movement and his notes breathes . Most classical violinist plays it like in the music sheets without putting abit of their own twist and personality in their music and instruments like a machine . Play from the heart by feel . That's why God gives you a beating heart too feel sadness happiness madness joy peace and all human emotions.
I’m no professional, but I think SoHyun had a cleaner sound. Augustin had a lot of scratchy notes, however they could have been played off as marteles. All in all, they both did really, really well.
Yes-by audio only too: SoHyun Ko is minutely "slower" (if that word's even fair here!)… *yet, >her tone AND phrasing is better! He sounds as if he's in a race, but she, though exquisitely fast, sounds as if both beauty and power intertwine!* (myself, while not a violinist, I played, studied classical piano for 10 years so I have some genuine grasp of what's involved in this brilliant showpiece.) They're some lovely subtleties in his playing. However, I prefer her interpretation-AND her violin, I'd say is also a more beautiful instrument. More specifically, his has moments that are just on the edge of sounding shrill, while hers does Not do that… plus hers has a richness that I don't perceive in his.) A great showpiece in either case! WELL-done by both! Still, she has my vote.
Her’s is more robotic than Augustine. Also stop saying that playing faster is worse. It’s not. His has more dynamics. Also this piece is very virtuosic. You must play this piece with very interesting dynamics.
Sound shrill is point by the way. You don’t want richness in this part of the piece. On the violin you want it to be less rich on the fast high notes. Richness is for the start of this piece since it starts out on a low note which flies directly into a run.
Hadelich's control is so good that he is able to do more musically, pushing and pullung at the tempo, for instance, and generating more contrast between spiccato and tenuto notes.
a prodigy by his facility to do a task has more soul in his job 🎉 a professional can do a perfect show with a propper preparation but a prodigies born for that, just need to find themselves.
Both musicians portray the music differently and are playing in different styles Sohyun plays a classy style and interprets her piece like almost a fancy castle she plays the piece to how she would like to hear it tying notes together and swinging you along without sharp changes. Augustin most definitely played this on a professional level articulating his notes but it felt very strict to the music almost perfect or robotic while this was played he showed emotion through the notes all the way through. Overall Sohyun's playing was not all refined and in the piece she does make errors so Augustin did play it better but Sohyun interpreted the music and showed her creation of how she loves the piece and wants to make it sound and be amazing it is in my opinion very enjoyable to listen to Sohyuns more to listen to her pure interpretation of the piece. This effort in Sohyuns piece almost makes you think of the time and ways she wanted the piece to sound every step of the way.
Her notes are screeching and cutting edge precision sharp - a few times short of an attack. His notes move more smoothly and "slide" together easier. He plays and interprets the melody line bringing you to a more gentle ending with each phrase.
the screeching could also be amplified by the method of recording. Violin recording is hard to get right, and It's a extremely unpleasant instrument if not recorded properly.
The prodigy’s sound is like speaking words perfectly, while the pro’s sound is like singing clearly. I’m in awe of both but I’m moved by the pro’s playing.
Augustin não tem como comparar ... Cada nota completa ou se encaixa dentro da proxima em harmonia por passada compondo a melodia e não simplesmente um conjunto de notas soltas !!! Lindo de ouvir !!! 👏👏👏🌹💐🇧🇷
Augustine is much more polished and clean and much more musical at the same time. SoHyun has subtle aspects of string crossings and shifts that obscure the musical line. Augustin is one of the premier violinists in the world. Of course he will outplay anyone.
I can't help myself, but I have the impression, for many asian musicians it's more a demonstration of superior technique and not so much a medium for transportation of emotions and expression. Maybe the reason for this is to be found in an education where openly lived emotions is frowned upon.
Yes, definitely. Hedelich sounds like he is trying to play catch-up with the notes and grinding the strings in an effort to do so. Ko plays it effortlessly. Easy to listen to.
I hear some differences but some of it can be chalked up to acoustical background. It would be interesting to compare with using identical concert halls, also there is a difference between instruments.
I have one thing to say... up-bow staccato. Tecnique, that's the real difference between a prodigy and a professional musician. That staccato is so perfect and in tune... Just perfect
Obviously there's a huge age difference. But be honest, can you tell the difference by listening to the audio only?
Yes. As a violinist I can.
But this is devilishly hard to pull, so I would not assume who is who.
Ok. Augustin is the cleanest of all modern violinists, so if you told me that one of the recordings was him, I’d know which one.
Is there a way I can send clips for another comparison vid to you?
Yes i do
Hadelich plays clean with impeccable tone quality (like Szeryng, who I believe was the previous owner of this violin)
SoHyun Ko plays with the more emotional intensity and is my favourite here.
If I listened blind, I would have guessed the perfected tone was the seasoned pro.
@@tonianzlovar7590He is SUPER clean!!! Jeez…

I appreciate your comment, as someone whose a fan not a musician (sadly) it really is interesting to have these nuances explained.
Hmm…I thought the opposite. Seemed like the pro was struggling to keep up, while the prodigy was sailing through like a walk in the park.

not dynamics@@oxeye8891
I really like the glissando and staccato from hadelich, it gives the piece more character. Sohyun on the other hand makes a better difference within dynamics I also really like her double stops. Both are wonderful!!❤
exactly what i was gonna say
Augustin killed it for the atmosphere and dynamics ❤. Ko just played the notes competently.
I feel like he’s more in the string. It’s sounds much more smooth, and powerful. Obviously she’s amazing, but Hadilich can just project like crazy.
Hadelich*
I think it's also cause he has an amazing Guarneri del Gesù violin
@@tancredispitale2252SoHyun has a Goffriller. both of them have legendary violins.

Wtf she's the same age of me but 100x times better than me

As a leisure Violinist of over 45 years ...YES I can tell ...Haveing said that that Ko prodigy is just unbelievable
One is holding an instrument with great competency. The other, he is holding a lover who fill his heart with heavenly joy.
OMG I just discovered a violin, listening to this guy playing. Something very special in his touch
No question Hadelich is the master, very defined and very clean, excellent touch. Of course Ko is talented, i like her retardando ending.🥰
If someone can read music let alone play it, I'm automatically impressed 👍❤
That makes me feel good 😊
it's totally different level
Augustin is already legendary
My god, so impressive ! Both are totally different, incredible. I like the SoHyun Ko style, even if HAdelich one sounds more natural.
Wow Augustin’s sounds so amazing

Very, very different. I listened with my eyes closed numerous times and found myself gravitating to Ko's performance. It was far sweeter and sounds more naturally flowing. Hadelich's rendition was a bit harsh and mechanical with way too much bow scrape.
Young people have a new style that both transcends AND renews the past.... the orchestras also in recent years (30 -35 years) have really bloomed upwards - I feel as though I am living in the BEST TIME for MUSIC. The musicianship & creativity is WAY WAY ADEPT AND MAGNIFIIENT - STUNNING TIMES ! ! !
It's amazing how he overcame his burn injuries to play so well.
She seemed like she is having a walk in the park so effortlessly playing 🙈😭😭😭😭❤ I preferred Augustin's character though, he is incredibly talented ❤
Both are wonderful!
Augustin was also a child prodigy, there's a video of him performing Sibelius VC when he was 13
Супер дуэтик... Невероятное мастерство прекрасных детей..... Брависсимо... Гениальная музыка в исполнении... Выше всяких похвал... Невероятно... Блестяще... Браво учителям, родителям, детям...... Здоровья, мира каждому

Her’s is more robotic than Augustine. Also stop saying that playing faster is worse. It’s not. His has more dynamics. Also this piece is very virtuosic. You must play this piece with very interesting dynamics.
Sound shrill is point by the way. You don’t want richness in this part of the piece. On the violin you want it to be less rich on the fast high notes. Richness is for the start of this piece since it starts out on a low note which flies directly into a run.
Energy power precious & sweeter smooth feeling
Hadelich's control is so good that he is able to do more musically, pushing and pullung at the tempo, for instance, and generating more contrast between spiccato and tenuto notes.
One knows the answers to the universe and knows all languages

Honestly, yes it really goes to show, I can personally tell very quickly who is Augustin. It’s incredible the levels violinists can reach
Her notes are screeching and cutting edge precision sharp - a few times short of an attack.
His notes move more smoothly and "slide" together easier. He plays and interprets the melody line bringing you to a more gentle ending with each phrase.
the screeching could also be amplified by the method of recording. Violin recording is hard to get right, and It's a extremely unpleasant instrument if not recorded properly.
WOOOOW FANTÁSTICA. MARAVILLOSA. TOCA COMO LOS ÁNGELES DEL CIELO. BRAVOOOO. CONGRATULESION. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯
The prodigy’s sound is like speaking words perfectly, while the pro’s sound is like singing clearly. I’m in awe of both but I’m moved by the pro’s playing.
honestly i like her rendition better, it sounds more lively and spontaneous. maybe im just used to it since that's usually the one i go to
Augustin não tem como comparar ... Cada nota completa ou se encaixa dentro da proxima em harmonia por passada compondo a melodia e não simplesmente um conjunto de notas soltas !!! Lindo de ouvir !!! 👏👏👏🌹💐🇧🇷
Augustine is much more polished and clean and much more musical at the same time. SoHyun has subtle aspects of string crossings and shifts that obscure the musical line. Augustin is one of the premier violinists in the world. Of course he will outplay anyone.
Yet her phrasing is far more musical and elegant on the final notes. I found her performance way more expressive
I can't help myself, but I have the impression, for many asian musicians it's more a demonstration of superior technique and not so much a medium for transportation of emotions and expression. Maybe the reason for this is to be found in an education where openly lived emotions is frowned upon.
Hers is SHINNING SILK - His is LUSCIOUS VELVET. AMAZING & yet young!! WOWIE! ! ! : )
Excelencia gracias por su arte❤❤😊
Comparing ANYBODY to Hadelich is rather unfair, honestly. SoHyun Ko is playing very nicely here!
his tone :o oh my
Notas limpas e claras! Parabéns Hadelic! A pratica vai fazer SoHyun Ko ainda melhor que Hadelic! ❤❤
I think Augustine Hadelich has better articulation and dynamics while SoHyun Ko has really good rhythm. Both of them are really good!👍
Yes, definitely. Hedelich sounds like he is trying to play catch-up with the notes and grinding the strings in an effort to do so. Ko plays it effortlessly. Easy to listen to.
I hear some differences but some of it can be chalked up to acoustical background. It would be interesting to compare with using identical concert halls, also there is a difference between instruments.
SoHyun Ko, leveza total na pressão sobre as cordas.
Augustin is an exceptional musician who reaches souls 🙏
I have one thing to say... up-bow staccato. Tecnique, that's the real difference between a prodigy and a professional musician. That staccato is so perfect and in tune... Just perfect
Well, that's what practice does to you: GO PRACTICE!
Dam! Close your eyes and listen carefully! Difficult choices! 😊
