@@gueue5937 Perhaps you already know this, but she actually studied German during her schooling. Her pronunciation of Bach was just the beginning of her abilities in that language:)
she's as close to perfect as any human in history, but not literally perfect. 2:02 - the f# and G did not sound cleanly. and there were several *barely* out of tune notes, difficult to detect at that speed.
This is the London promenade concert season.... dress by the orchestra is not so strict, nor is the atmosphere in the hall which is packed with the young generation. The way the audience in the Royal Albert Hall listen with such attentiveness is in itself a phenomenon, and is repeated year after year, decade after decade.
I am so glad I have lived long enough to have heard this most remarkable young lady play. The precision, the incredible accuracy of that concise and prolific technical ability. Combine that with the passion for the music, and you have the best of those I know.
This performance to me is perfection. No accompaniment, and just her solo playing every note so clearly and perfectly. The intonation, clarity, phrasing, and everything else is out of this world. Also, love love love this dress! So elegant.
Imagine that, for a moment in time being at the centre of the universe at that very hall. And she completely aced it. What skill, talent and nerves of steel.
Correct placement in the bow, flexible right fingers/ wrist, relaxed forearm, dropped shoulder, catching momentum from each bow to the next, proper speed/ pressure distribution, and following the musical lines. Guarantee your right arm will not be in hell with the above.
Her face at the end like "yeah, clap and bow you mortals" That's just 2 mins and the amount of notes is just wow. Props to her brain and all of those who do that.
Hilary can play damn hard pieces, I doubt that the other violinists could do that on stage. The presto is pretty easy compared to the "Erlkönig" she performed once.
I'm not really sure tho. The guy directly behind her (at the end of the video) also looked super salty at first. But at the end he clapped and he also squint his eyes, which usually happens when you smile.
This is remarkable. I love this presto and she does everything so well. Every time I listen to another Bach piece of hers I'm continually impressed. The dynamics, her bowing, attack, intonation, I love listen to her interpretations. ~JSV
I’ve had the privilege of accompanying some truly accomplished soloists (though not Hilary Hahn). The string players in the orchestra typically admire them; they’re not jealous.
I bet each of the violinists in the orchestra knows every note of this sonata, each of them must have painstakingly perfected it over hundreds of hours of hard labor. They are the ones to judge and admire this performance and I think they would unanimously agree it is top class.
Always a girl, I love to hear her play, it is paradise on Earth. THANK YOU, beautiful artist / girl / woman. Dream of the soul ... Never let age rob you of your youth and energy ,,, If there are beings that should be eternal, for the good of the world, it would be without a doubt Hilary Hahn. I am in love with the art that emanates from your soul. I can say no more. !!!
Hilary Hahn is a great violinist in the tradition of past masters such as Heifetz, Oistrach, Kogan, Menuhin, etc. It is rare to see someone with such devotion to the highest excellence. I hope she plays till she's 90.
I'm just now getting into classical and this sounded pretty good to me. I'm starting to learn classical pieces on my 6 string bass, I'm on Debussy's Arabesque no.1
Yes... they are all so jealous.. But when someone has a very high level as Hilary's one... :p Everybody can be a little bit jealous ! Also I am admirative a lot about the goergous sound she produces ! (excuse the english of a french guy)
now I understand how Brett and Eddy feel!
Imagine also having her standing next to you! 😂
When they call her senpai
She has thick neck
yessss
who are them?

I've never heard a Bach as clean as Hilary Hahn's. She inspires me so much!
Hahaha probably the musicians behind her
She is amazing
She sounded so nervous speaking, but as soon as she lifted her bow I was intimidated.
It's intimidating music, a bit like balancing on a tightrope, where any slip is likely to be fatal.
I thought she sounded the opposite of nervous.
she spoke full of pride and with a little smile because of pronouncing ‚Bach‘ like Germans do :o) she was such a star even back then ⭐️
@@gueue5937 Perhaps you already know this, but she actually studied German during her schooling. Her pronunciation of Bach was just the beginning of her abilities in that language:)
I'm so nervous because I have less than three weeks to memorize this whole piece for the audition that will determine the rest of my life
how did it go?
Surprisingly well. I'm now Associate Concertmaster of a professional orchestra, and I haven't even graduated high school!
Claudia Halvorson Well, that escalated quickly!
Claudia Halvorson congratulations!
Claudia Halvorson AMAZING!!
She is PERFECT.
+MAD “SKRILLABOYZ” SKRILLA Nope. Not so.
she's as close to perfect as any human in history, but not literally perfect. 2:02 - the f# and G did not sound cleanly. and there were several *barely* out of tune notes, difficult to detect at that speed.
@@chuckcornelius194 She’s definitely been practicing 40 hours a day to be as close to perfect as anyone can be!
@@chuckcornelius194I remember reading a paper analyzing intonation of various masters. Almost all went slightly sharp when playing very fast.
Her performance of this piece is my favorite version. I like her articulation, passion, and clean technique. woot!
+tokkibunni She's a sensational player!
Bobert Wiltshire as all the violins you heard on the subway sound like hers.
But the string crossings are easier, which is why she did it (clockwise is easier than anticlockwise).
Why are some members of the orchestra well dressed while others look like they’re waiting for the bus? 🤔
Damien GC i was thinking the same! 2000’ fashion was wild apparently

Or looking like Colonel Sanders
Those are warm-weather dinner jackets.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like the way she moves, as if the bow has to catch up with the violin or the violin has to catch up with the bow. :-) Brava!
Her bowing is backwards from what is written in the music. That is difficulttttt. But Hilary Hahn can play anything :)
I am so glad I have lived long enough to have heard this most remarkable young lady play. The precision, the incredible accuracy of that concise and prolific technical ability. Combine that with the passion for the music, and you have the best of those I know.
She starts on an up bow. What kind of sorcery is this? Haha
Jarom Redhair omg yeah she starts up bow on a lot of her performances
It's not unusual on this piece since you want the second note to get more emphasis.
This performance to me is perfection. No accompaniment, and just her solo playing every note so clearly and perfectly. The intonation, clarity, phrasing, and everything else is out of this world. Also, love love love this dress! So elegant.
How are you doing today my name is Bryan cooker
Imagine that, for a moment in time being at the centre of the universe at that very hall. And she completely aced it. What skill, talent and nerves of steel.
This piece... is right arm hell, and she executes it so flawlessly...must be 40 hours a day of practice
Correct placement in the bow, flexible right fingers/ wrist, relaxed forearm, dropped shoulder, catching momentum from each bow to the next, proper speed/ pressure distribution, and following the musical lines. Guarantee your right arm will not be in hell with the above.
@@Crisper4524 yea I know, and everything you mentioned is what takes hours of practice, because all you mentioned is the goal
i present to you: LING LING’S CHILD
she’ll never be as good as her father, ling ling forever #1
How can Ling Ling make babies if he practice 40 hours a day ?
youtube user
Oh ,really?
youtube user hahaha
Nice point
Or a sister????
if I'm not wrong, when this was recorded in 2000, she was twenty
that's what I was wondering! thanks!
I know but she looks so young!
I thought she was 15
And now it’s been twenty years since this was filmed and she is 40 and still looks great!
Ellie Hernandez I know! What is her secret
This is just such an amazing moment in musical history - how someone could play this with such conviction and confidence at that age is bewildering.
I like how they applaud at the beginning, like she pronounced Bach right.
ShakaUVM ディビッドギャレット
she said it correctly. this is jealousy at it's best
She did. Her German is very good 👍 I think musicians have the best language skills
They pay her great respect
ShakaUVM That's a God, of course they would applaud. I would
I just love the looks on the orchestra behind her - thinking “what have I been doing with my life”
wait what's the Orchestra doing if they don't play? there's not supposed to be accompaniment right?
lmao why does everyone say this about orchestras behind the soloist on camera. they’re just chillin lol
Her face at the end like "yeah, clap and bow you mortals"
That's just 2 mins and the amount of notes is just wow. Props to her brain and all of those who do that.
The envy in the faces of the violinists behind her.....
Hilary can play damn hard pieces, I doubt that the other violinists could do that on stage. The presto is pretty easy compared to the "Erlkönig" she performed once.
Haha they are so salty!!!
I'm not really sure tho.
The guy directly behind her (at the end of the video) also looked super salty at first.
But at the end he clapped and he also squint his eyes, which usually happens when you smile.
2:39
Dude be like FML.
imagine sitting there minding your business with your resting face and someone calls you envious
Hearing her play is great. Hearing her and watching her play is even better
+Joe EL Mmmmmm, I think I know what you mean...
be quiet idiots, shes playing.
She is as beautiful as her music
creep
So awful on both parts..
By now shes probly 18 so its ok
She was like 27 there
not close
2:02 is the only time i've ever heard her mess up.......and it was a minor mistake. It didnt even phase her......
Yeah like it was hardly noticeable considering how fast the piece is
faze
2:02
@Bobert Wiltshire dude chill
@Bobert Wiltshire and it's faze not phrase. A phrase is.dealing with words, faze means disturb.
Awww she sounded so nervous when she was talking but did so well!
Touched by perfection. She makes me cry
skillzzzzz
+Hansol Word.
+Fritz Kirchhoff what the hell are you talking about?
Hansol mad skillz
This is remarkable. I love this presto and she does everything so well. Every time I listen to another Bach piece of hers I'm continually impressed. The dynamics, her bowing, attack, intonation, I love listen to her interpretations.

When you're really tired of 'Flight of the Bumblebee'
I’ve had the privilege of accompanying some truly accomplished soloists (though not Hilary Hahn). The string players in the orchestra typically admire them; they’re not jealous.
There's a fire and hunger to this performance that I really love.
If you are listening to this in 2024, I love you and you are not alone! ❤ I love Hilary ! She is simply wonderful. Fantastic performance ....
I love how her hair bounces up and down when she plays with such passion. Everytime I want to hear beautiful music of Bach, I listen to her.
She is just wonderful.. so powerful, and so delicate.. at the same time..
Her voice!
amazing wow it makes me miss my violin so much
Her extraordinary performance brings out the characteristics of this masterpiece

fellow orchestra violinists stare in amazement others bow in shame. in the presence of miss haghn
she is perfect, my favorite violinist!!
Very nuanced and filled with power. Impressive peace of music and performance
dear mother of god....
She is impecable !!!!
One of the gratest Baroque violin performers (mainly Bach's works) today
She have a unique face, the type that you can always vaguely remember even if you've only met her once.
god bless you, for the hours you have dedicate to your love for your music
she is perfection
Quel talent...formidable.....
She started off with an up bow. Everything about her playing and technique is incredible. She is definitely a beast! :)
So good!!! The combination of her and that violin is mind boggling!
You are simply ... AMAZING...!!!
Now, I'm in love !!
This is so beautiful I cried

Loved this ever since hearing Mairead Nesbitt play it with a Celtic twist.
Amazing...!
