For me, Hilary is the best. Her technical precision is surpassed only by her musical expression. She was blowing my mind over 20 years ago, and she just keeps getting better.
My favourite piece ever. I am glad they decided to zoom in at 1:39 which is my favourite section and when I first heard this piece I honestly taught there were two violins. It's incredible just to watch this.
The control of dynamics is just amazing. Whether you agree or disagree with the choices her ability to put the volume exactly where she wants it at every note in the piece is just mind boggling amazing.
Hilary Hahn is such a magnificent performer and I count myself lucky I'm born in such an era I can simply go on youtube and punch her name into the search bar and observe one of her many sublime and extraordinary performances. What an incredible talent Ms Hahn is
This is totally killer, spine-tingling stuff. Absolute full body chills with tears streaming down your face. A revelation of a long overplayed top 40 hit.
I was actually just shedding some tears hearing that. A lovely lady in a beautiful dress absolutely hitting the ball out of the park with this rendition. Stunning.
She is really the very first interpreter of J S BACH partitas outplaying all other by using her temperament in combination with a famous technique. I have been playing this Prelude around 30 years now and it is to say this is among the most difficult thing you can even play on a violin. It is only going on like a machine and you have no chance if you are loosing your concentration. But Hillary she has no problems at all. Congratulation
Aside from her obvious technical ability, I really enjoy her liberal expression through grand pause. this piece can sound robotic without some well timed cadence variation. That to me is her greatest talent. Her ear. Glad she's practiced 20 thousand hours so she can share her vision with us!
@@randomoneforstuff3696 I followed your link to the sonata no 3 and listened to the allegro assai. It is wonderful playing for sure. He has great sound and control. But authentic it is not! In the first bar alone he plays the 2 eight notes as quarter notes and turns a 3/4 bar into 4/4. I’m absolutely sure Bach could count beats and if wanted 4 beats he’d have written them in. It’s great and interesting - but authentic? I don’t think so.
@@joefagan9335 Also, if you want to listen to what is arguably the most historically accurate, you should listen to Rachel Podger's Allegro Assai: th-cam.com/video/jv0s736P-G4/w-d-xo.html
@@randomoneforstuff3696 How is that the most historically accurate? Rachel Podger never would have been allowed in a baroque orchestra, into a musical conservatory, or to perform in public.
The English language needs a word for something that transcends perfection. The performance is utterly flawless but the subtle rubato and dynamics take the performance to a breath taking level. She is the goddess of the violin.
I first heard her play the Paganini Caprice, and have been a fan ever since. I LOVE listening to her play Bach, because she loves to play it...and it shows!
Have you listened to a less 'hard' and overly vibratoey interpretation? Here is one by the Netherlands Bach Society: th-cam.com/video/gYT1JUq0k04/w-d-xo.html
I got to watch her play this live a few days ago for the opening of the conrad in la Jolla ca and you cannot compare this recording with the real thing.

I started learning this piece slightly under a year ago when I was 11. Now I'm learning my favourite piece (mendelssohn violin concerto). With practice everything is easier and you can achieve your dreams
This piece is scary to do on stage. I did this piece like 4 times on different stages, and very time I did it, it was never the same experience. Very risky piece.
bach + hahn = best gift to the humanity!
we love you hilary hahn!
anther gift here: th-cam.com/video/1dtayMBMHjo/w-d-xo.html, you can hear a bit difference.
How is her intonation so perfect it’s not human😱
She cheats by practising a lot :)
@@snails9505 u had me in the first half ngl
@@snails9505 I tried that. It didn't work as well for me.
Well said. So crisp as to be otherworldly.
A lifetime of study, devotion to the art, and practice. And sacrifice. And endless humility.
The gift is for the listener.
the way her fingers move is amazing

Yes! And even better when you see her interviewed: She's a lovely, unassuming person. Not at all full of herself. A lovely lady.

She KILLED it. Wow!!
Bach is at another level of musical genius. Hahn, nails it. Brilliant.
She is brilliant! Even more so, the audience realized it and stayed quiet listening to Hilary who is a national treasure!
OMG, thanks for releasing excerpts from yesterday's incredible show. This violinist has me in tears, she's so good.

Jay H To be fair, there was Oistrakh,
And Mullova, still-
That Heifetz guy had promise, but
To teach, well... ‘twas God’s will!
Only the cleanest technique can make Bach sound like this. Bach is God.
So, is hilary
So is ling ling
Only God is God
Bach is not God lol..
He himself acknowledged a God being higher than himself :)
And Hilary Hahn is the archangel.
Best violinist ever, playing music by the best composer ever.
Wonderful to see Hilary playing in this kind venue. She is so alive!
The English language needs a word for something that transcends perfection. The performance is utterly flawless but the subtle rubato and dynamics take the performance to a breath taking level. She is the goddess of the violin.
One of my favorite pieces. I'm literally in tears! LOVE IT!!! Keep up the great work Hilary!
There are violinists. & then, there's Hilary Hahn.
then there's Ling Ling
Elijah Kim 김기성 dude

Her intonation is immaculate

I'm a huge fan of hers. I reckon if you live to be 99, you won't forget that live performance!
Hilary Hahn is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite Bach. Excellent play with Hillary Hahn. Wow.
She gave a stimulating performance, makes you feel as though you can go back to work with enthusiasm!
Far and away my favorite violinist.
The playing style of this Greek muse is pure, splendid, unique and unmistakable.
Crisp, clarity and much more , fantastic interpretation, performance , the Bach Queen
This is actually something I could play half decently. And I am in awe.
To be clear. I was thoroughly pedestrian. Hearing her pick out notes to make the harmonic progression clear is a revelation.
The greatest living violinist.
@Elijah Kim 김기성 Dude I was about to google him 😂
Ehhh maxim vengerov takes that spot
Totally agreed. Hahn's outstanding in every single aspect.
Bach will be proud of your interpretation excellent !
This is how this song is supposed to be played. I have not heard a better performance of this piece from none other than Hillary Hahn.
that tone is off the charts
Hilary Plays so cleanly. Every individual bow stroke is extremely articulate.
Bach has waited for this recording to smile for the first time

UNO DE LOS VIOLINES MEJOR AFINADOS, IMPRESIONANTE INTERPRETACIÓN. LA MEJOR. GENIAL. ADMIRABLE. PARA APLAUDIR DE PIE UN DÍA ENTERO. INCREÍBLE.
There is something awe-inspiring, almost magical about this piece when played by a violin genius like Hilary Hahn.
very nice tone🎶Thanks!
Great🎶×100🎶Thanks❗
Definitely a representative of Bach's great work!
HOw can anyone not like this?
Been listening to her play for at least 15 years now- and I think she gets better as she gets older, if possible
I think without question, she improves with age. Which is amazing, since she was unbelieveable at age 19.
TwoSet Violin need to see this
Yesssssss!!!!! #twosetviolin
They’re too busy practicing for 40 hours a day
#twosetviolin UP!
true
they really do
I'm pretty sure Brett has seen every video with hilary beaches she's in it and Eddy has seen them because she's just absolutely amazing
idk what its called but that sequence around 1:47 is pure bliss
String crossings over 3 strings in a descending scale pattern! Love that part!
that's my absolute favourite part too. seeing how it's actually played keeps me in awe. its absolutely heavenly
Wow so cool
他の人のヴァイオリン演奏を聴くと彼女の演奏がいかに素晴らしくて聴いてて心地良いか再確認できますwようつべに感謝www
Extraordinaria Hilary Hahn
Different than her first recording... I would love to listening a new recording of her first album "Hilary Hahn plays Bach"
Same! I love her early recordings, but she’s matured so much as an artist. You can feel so much more emotion now!
same
im thirteen and learning this piece. really really really hard
I started trying to learn it in my early 20s and now I'm in my early 30s and I'm still unsatisfied. What Hahn does is gold.
I'm 11 learning this piece (just started learning it yesterday). Very difficult.
I started learning this piece slightly under a year ago when I was 11. Now I'm learning my favourite piece (mendelssohn violin concerto). With practice everything is easier and you can achieve your dreams
Sameeeee I feel like im going to die of concentration :(
Keep at it! Keep the faith!
superb!
Bravo!❤
The articulation!
Incredible!
How could she do that? Amazing!
Heaven
This is unreal 👏:
Absolutamente lindo!
A real artist
excellent!!!!
Incredible.
Bravo!
Amazing
absolute goddess. was this planned? it seems spontaneous....
Slightly Foxed ♥️
ESPETACULAR......
Oh how I wish she’d done the Chaconne
she did. listen to her recording "Hilary Hahn plays bach". She played partita no 3, partita no 2 and sonata no 2
3:42 perfect!
Literally the only part I remember is the first part
Tha right hand momentum control flick!
Easily one of the most difficult pieces ever
The sheet music doesn't look too bad until you try to play it at speed
@@llary yes and intonation is really hard
she is so elegant
Her wrist moves like jelly but her tone is as sharp as knife 🥺🥺🥺
Wow so different from her recording, but astounding... I can't imagine players this good getting better but they do...
The recording was recorded when she was young.
@@moonshade0227 No. It was recorded last year (October 28th, 2017).
Nice!
Milstein was the best at Bach in his day. Hilary is the best today.
At 3:20, all the gods stopped what they were doing...
My phone thought this was Accumula Town from Pokemon Black and White
anyways this is a banger
As you can clearly see there is only one violin playing. But I heard several voices.
Sheeeeesh
Did anyone hear the person saying Yeah at 3:34
Yeah!
I did
I don't know.... The upper and lower lines were a bit hard to distinguish
She's god
Had I not watched this live, I’d be certain this was TWO violins playing.
Baron von Speed well you should definitely hear hilary hahn play the erlkonig if you think so, it’s even more impressive !
Omg you saw this live!?!?! That's even better than this video! :O
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
Gorgeous piece (if hilary plays this piece)
This piece is scary to do on stage. I did this piece like 4 times on different stages, and very time I did it, it was never the same experience. Very risky piece.
Hil is fully in. Hard Rock is like cold coffee against bach. Of course there's no Rock at all without J. S. Bach
Just want to tell you that I was here :)
Time to steal 99% of the fingering
If you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly
what string is she using?
0:23
How did she recite that
Volkner Bat it’s called being a musician
A bit rough around the edges - listen to Midori Aug. 19, 2020 Carnegie Hall performance
hold on why she slam on the violin 0:02
