      Bach, Hilary Hahn & Sex sells and Playboy www.pinterest.de/pin/432838214160526255/ SLIPPED DISC Playboy? It's not a game February 3, 2009 by Norman Lebrecht No comments. An excited reader has notified me that Playboy magazine is running a feature titled Too Hot to Handel: the sexiest babes in classical music. Before you waste a moment’s click on the site, let me assure you that all of them are decorously clad. Along with the all-too predictable Anna Netrebko and Danielle de Niese, Playboy has selected violinists Leila Josefowicz, Julia Fischer, Janine Jansen, Hilary Hahn and Anne-Sophie Mutter, the last in a photograph that must have been taken at least ten years ago, or in very flattering light. Ms Mutter is described as Austrian - she’s German - and a MILF, which is a term that does not bear cultural elucidation. Two relative unknowns are included. One is the oboist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the other, perhaps, someone’s girlfriend. All good clean fun, right? Wrong. Let me tell you a story. Ten years ago, a Finnish violinist called Linda Lampenius allowed herself to be talked into posing nude for Playboy under the stage name Linda Brava. Her centrefold appearance landed an EMI record contract and an avalanche of media attention. Her first record reached number 14 in the UK charts and there was no follow-up. She was taken up as a talent by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, and quickly dropped. She appeared on Baywatch, just the once. A victim of unrealistic expectations, Linda went through years of turmoil before making her way back home to Finland, where a producer friend of mine recorded her some months ago playing chamber music - rather well, he said. The story has a happy ending. Linda, 38, is expecting her first baby in the coming weeks. Let’s wish her well. The Playboy experience is not to be recommended as a means of advancing a musical career. It’s exploitation, that’s the bare truth. Don’t bother to look. NL

      Hey, I KNOW how difficult these Bach pieces can be. i understand, to a point. Lifelong guitarist here, and I've spent years transcribing Paganini and Bach pieces, these things are addicting too once you've got your hooks in and think you can get them up to speed. There's truly nothing like Bach. I love playing from these sonatas and partitas and I'm getting hooked on a couple preludes and minuets from the cello suites. I'm listening here because I'm playing this on mandolin and I'm hitting snags in two places trying to keep the tempo genuine. The fingering on mandolin is tough but Hahn has given me a better feel and I'm getting past the measures that were tying me up. I had to playback at a slightly slower speed to catch here transitions of those tongue-twister measures.
      I'd tell my students and anyone that wants to play these...
      BACH... is a four-letter word! LOL!

You can hear how Hillary plays the second note with a slight accent which is the result of the down bow being moved over. Most pieces start with a down bow as its more comfortable

    I played the violin as a kid, gave up when I was 19 (after grade 8 in the UK). Took it up again two years ago, I'm now 58. I'm working on this piece at the moment, and it's a challenge, to say the least. When I started on it, I genuinely feared it would be impossible for me, but I can just about play it now, albeit not as fast as she plays it here. Knowing the piece, watching this performance is just mind-blowing. I know I'll never be able to play it as well as this, but watching her play is a real inspiration and an absolute joy. I've listened to a lot of violinists play Bach on TH-cam now, and HH is by far my favourite. Her technique is just beautiful to watch, as well, so clean and without affectation.

Despite the bite on the string being slightly more difficult when starting on an up bow, this particular piece is facilitated by it because it makes the rest of the exposition easier to play because of the string crossings. I would know because I played it.

    I can’t. She just...HOW?! She is perfect! It’s one thing to listen to the music but it’s another to watch her actually play it. Her posture is absolutely flawless. A professional violinist’s bow hand should move gracefully meaning that when you change bow direction you should start the transition movement with your fingers. At such a high speed, Hilary Hahn does this incredibly well. Not to mention her bow hold just looks so relaxed. Her bow maintained perfect contact with the strings throughout the entire piece. It didn’t slip at all which gave it a really nice and clean sound. You could tell she was letting the weight of her left arm sit in her elbow which meant that she was not clenching the neck of the violin which made the shifts not even noticeable. The shifting was so clean and she never missed a single note. The speed of her shifting was so good as well. If it’s too fast, you are likely to miss the note. If it’s too slow, you can very clearly hear the shift and if that’s not what the composer intended then it sounds bad. And her left thumb stayed in the same exact spot unless shifting which is incredibly hard with such awkward fingering in this piece. I didn’t hear a single note where intonation was questionable. Despite how much her left fingers were moving, she kept her hand shape perfect. Also when she placed her fingers on the strings, she didn’t use the very tips of her fingers, nor the fleshy part like when you play a harmonic. She used just the right part of her finger so that the notes were exactly in tune every single time. With all of this she still manages to have a nice facial expression so it doesn’t look like she’s about to cry or stuff up like most violinist do when playing a hard piece. I am so blown away by Hilary Hahn and I absolutely love her work. She is easily my favourite violinist and I look up to her and respect her so much.
