Might I suggest some tunage ur way? Check out ysaye sonatas, Paganiniana, anything with Nico Muhly live with Nadia Sirota, and the Sibelius concerto! Maybe Patrica Kopachinskya!! Have fun!
As a czech native, I really like, when people say our difficult names properly. And how Augustin says Dvořák is incredibly precise, as his music is. Chapeau mate and thank you!
Absolutely phenomenal; it's always a pleasure to watch a musician such as Hadelich, and I'm ecstatic that he had an opportunity to play. He's among the greatest living violinists, and I hope he'll be more widely recognized as such. As an (admittedly) much-too-infrequent listener of NPR, I'm not sure how common it is to invite artists back more than once for a Tiny Desk Concert or other feature, but almost anything Hadelich performs is absolutely enrapturing; even well-known masterworks are revived with refreshing and usually extremely enlightening interpretations. I would love to see him return at some point, and based on other artists' concerts I've seen so far, the channel's earned another well-deserved sub. Also, major props to the accompanist, Kuang-Hao! The Adams is VERY easy to disconnect and fall apart, yet was held together by the both of them; and he also was equally sensitive to Hadelich's rubato in the other pieces (particularly the less-familiar and less-predictable Suk). Bravo to all involved, and I look forward to seeing more great music!
Sometimes I think about how difficult the violin is to play - No frets, little wiggle room with the fingers, the intensity of bow technique. Yet it seems like every incredible violinist becomes one with their instrument, like its just another limb of their bodies.
Yes some instruments allow you to play poorly learn and handful of chords an a guitar or piano and you can contribute . Other instruments like the Violin and saxophone demand excellence if they are not played with great skill they sound horrible and you can’t contribute .
@@marcscordato4385 Sax is not difficult for a brass instrument. I believe it is common for brass musicians to agree that french horn, trombone or piccolo trumpet are the most difficult. The trombone is probably the only one that can compare to the violin though.
Seen him live twice in San Antonio, Tx with our symphony. Both times I had to pick my jaw up off the ground after his performance lol. My professors who play in the symphony said he had the same effect on them while onstage! Just inspiring.
Just an FYI 4 years after your comment, the San Antonio Philharmonic (formerly SA Symphony) will be hosting Augustin Jan 17-18 2025 with the Sibelius concerto.
the first comment was after the first rendition. Having finished listening... this is spectacular. what a treat. what skill. I feel so honored to listen to such beauty. Can I please stop already?!
@@Ciaccona255 - you get this weird issue when you play violin or viola where you can hear *everything* & you worry like crazy that it’s distracting people from your performance as much you’re distracted yourself… no? Just me…? 🤣🫣🫠
@@oxoelfoxo - I’d expect that more so from Joshua Bell… I come from that same pedagogical lineage & that is how we are taught to convey rhythm… we don’t toe tap… it’s interesting… and it’s also why I carry a ginormous jug of water with me to every gig 🤣
Your concerts are always a welcome pleasure. Please invite the young piano phenom from Colombia, Jesus Molina, he is a remarkable musician, and composer, and would be an excellent addition to your program. Thanks as always!
There's a small number of people on this channel who dislike classical music, and then a smaller number of classical musicians who dislike other classical musicians.
I am by no means a classical expert or classical musician. Yes, he hit all the notes and yes he is waaaay talented but to me honestly he sounded quite stiff. Might be the fault of the sound engineer for using too much compression. It is pretty obvious because his breathing is extremely loud and quite annoying. Usually "tiny desk" is my go to when I want to listen to VERY WELL engineered live recordings. This time I believe somewhere the engineer messed up. The violin itself sounded dead and (for a lack of a better term) cheap.
He sounds anything but stiff, he's one of the greatest violinists of our time. In fact his performance of the Humoresque was incredible. It's a piece that has been played to death and he still managed to make it exciting and incredibly emotional. It's probably just your unfamiliarity with classical music and the common conception that classical music is stiff and boring that causes this impression. I agree however, they messed up the sound, they should have placed the mic somewhere else so you can't hear his breathing.
@@TreeHouseTavern It’s a small space without a lot of resonance. That’s just how such spaces sound. You don’t notice when things are amplified because all you hear is the amp, or instruments like drums that you normally hear almost entirely the direct sound anyway so there’s little difference from how it’s usually recorded. Same with pop vocals, which are usually recorded in fairly dead spaces. But acoustic classical instruments that you would normally hear recorded in a much larger and more reverberant space are just not going to sound like they usually do.
Imagine having him as your neighbour. I'd never complain.
This guy is world class.. arguably one of the best living violinists of our lifetime
I agree
So this is how classical musicians with perfect skills sound like
0:00 - *John Coolidge Adams: Road Movies, **_III. 40% Swing_* (4:56 / 5:20)
6:11 - *Antonín Dvořák: Humoresque in G-flat (arr. Fritz Kreisler)* (10:04 / 10:12)
10:29 - *Josef Suk: 4 Pieces for Violin and Piano, Op.17, **_IV. Burleska_* (13:28)
Thank you 😁✌

Brilliant! More classical soliosts, please, NPR.
those are the cleanest double stops I've ever heard
What r double stops
@@Ciaccona255 playing on two adjacent strings at the same time
@@ec0ec0ec000 thanks!
I just can't explain how much I love to listen to this man playing and speaking about music.
They played Dvořák's "Humoresque" so beautifully. Lowkey shed a tear for this one.
Seriously! There are no words.
His pianist is just on 🔥 these are not easy pieces to play together!
actually he is one the few really gifted violinist in the violin history
Agree! The Dvořák's "Humoresque" is the best version ever !
Hadelich is one of the Greatest of our generation!

I saw him perform in stl. During his solo the lady next to me passed away. I’ll never forget that night.
:O
Wow. What a way to pass...what a place to pass....
This is somehow very funny to me
Wooooow
Did she pass out? Or passed away as in died?? There is big difference
I got to see him rehearse when I was in eight grade for youth orchestra. i never realized just how lucky I was to see that.

And later in life, they sometimes end up with severe neck, shoulder, and back issues ( me).
@@rebeccasm13 Isn't the sax a woodwind instrument?
This violinist is incredibly moving. My eyes watered. Thanks for introducing me to him tiny desk
i saw him live in copenhagen last year, we had front row seats, and it was intense to say the least
Julian Ray a dream come true 🤣
Sentences start with an uppercase and end with a period.
@@BabyMidgetToes tool.
Augustin plays the violin with such enthusiasm and vigor. great way to start a good morning!!!:)
Augustin, many thanks. Your humoresque gave me nostalgic memories, tearing up.

My favorite musician
My favorite violinist, I heard him play sibelius concerto with my Dallas Symphony

This guy is insane, his version of ysaye ballade is the best version ever!
What time code is that piece in? I want to hear it
@@workerbee2352 Is another video. Put on youtube Augustin Hadelich Eugene ysaye balade. Is the video with the background black
There's someone named Kerson Leong who also has a great ysaye ballade
Vini Augusto Have you heard Vengerov’s??
@@jaypalombella1589 Yeah, but i don't think that his version is better
Tank you very much so beautiful amazing violinist en pianist, merci beaucoup à toutes et à tous tiny Desk
凄すぎて言葉にならない。彼の演奏を地球人だけじゃなくって宇宙人にも聴いてもらいたい。
the first piece gave me mad anxiety but i couldn't stop listening
All right. I mostly listen to jazz these days but he rocks my world!
Discovering the artists. Much liked the performance 👏
The Dvoräk was sublime.
I’m happy just playing the pieces in Suzuki 2
And soon you’ll get to play Humoresque in Book 3 !
thank you! Humoresque had me in tears and transported to some other place
The second track is stunningly beautiful.
Not my typical choice of music, and WOW........extremely beautiful!
Que maravilla!!! 🙌👏
Love this episode! can I beg for more classical musicians ? lol
Increíble los dos!! Me imaginé esta performance en una película...!
Outstanding dedication, he really make his music sounds clear like crystal.
Incredible musician(s). Most enjoyable. Credits failed to name page turner. 👍✌️😊🙏🏼🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶
I agree. She played an important role!
Her name is Suxiao Yang, she's Hadelich's wife😊
The rhythm is in his body!!
SUCH A JOY to watch
wow! love this guy- radiates something special
Bravo Bravo i love the the violin now
Help! I can't stop listening!!!
Non so se questo è un incantesimo o un'ipnosi !!
uuuuummmmm! i just came to life, beside myself.

How lucky I am. 🙏🏿
Bravo!!! Esse cara toca de mais!Bravo!!! Bravissimo!!
❤❤ Benim için dünyanın en büyük SANATÇISI ❤❤❤
Heard Augustin play Bartok in New Orleans -- wonderful!
You are music, Augustin!
Another Ling Ling to be amazed by and be envious of. Top set! 😁
absolute perfection
Suddenly, I’m not so self-conscious about my own rhythmic breathing while performing. He does the same. So, yay 😅🤭💜
We are all humans. We gotta breathe 😊
in Joshua Bell's tiny desk concert in 2016 you can also hear his breathing

Fantastic! Even Bach is showing his approval! 👏🏼👏🏼🤭
The humoresque performance remind me Mischa Elman playing, absolute bow control!!!
Could you please invite DOMi & JD Beck to NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert?
Thanks for the recommendation! It's noted!
yaaaas!

No way Hadelich on tiny desk!
Wow. I'm a big fan of yours. from S. Korea.

WELL Done!!
Brilliant!
It's just so great.

I just looked him up and he's recorded Bartok and Piazzolla. Guess I have to fish the credit card out of my wallet and head for Amazon.
better buy it at a independant store, they now need you more than ever
Reminds me of Michael Rabin.
Bravo！
Awesome
Love this
Can you get TwoSetViolin on this show
Amazing what just two instruments and no vocals can do. Beautiful. I'm curious what role the second person at the piano played?
Page turner
awesome fiddling! i don't think i've heard the Suk since Ricci's recording of it a long time ago. cool piece.
I can hear his breathing!
Very nice! 🙏😊
♥
Soothing
NPR TEAM PLEASE BRING D'ANGELO PLEASE !
😎
Can we get Sin A Deir Si from Galway please 🙏🏻🍀🇮🇪
To play piano this way....my old teacher would be on the floor, looking for her inhaler....lol
can you invite KAMAUU to do a tiny desk concert? i think his music is amazing and he would be great in this setting
Amazing music. Reconstructed face. 😌👌🏽
He was burned badly by a gas explosion, and very fortunately made a full recovery over many years.
Can Brent Fayiaz please have a tiny desk concert
40 hours
Musical coffee.
Bien , gracias , viva don Perón
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💜🎶💜🎻
This is not Vulfpeck. This is, however, an extremely talented man.
i subconsciously started twerking in my seat......
The lady helping the pianist ain't just decorating the frame, so where is her name??
❤️👍
Invite Sauti Sol from Kenya. Sawa
With that finger movement, imagine how good he'd be at playing Tetris?
