She's not only a very talented musician, but also an amazing person with her feet very grounded on earth. I met her last year and loved talking to her, very sweet and attentive.
@@Skinny_Karlos I met her backstage after a rehearsal in Montréal... I was just telling her the usual stuff all musicians hear, "I love how you play, I loved this or that recording" and she asked me if I was a musician, and I said that I'd love to learn the double bass. So we started a conversation about how important is female representation in the bass, and this and that... I mean she's just like you see her in her videos, an extremely talented but very approachable person, like anybody else :) she's very inspiring
@@sunsetschaser7749 Really?? That truly makes me happy to hear that there is a degree of normalcy amongst the supremely talented and she is certainly that. That seems to be a very different mind to those that come from the modern music scene where their image is seemingly more important than any music they may make. Thank you for your very prompt reply sunsetchaser77. I do appreciate it and am happy to hear of her down to earth nature going with such a high standard of musical ability.
@@sunsetschaser7749 Btw - You should jump in the deep end (if you can afford it as the DB can be expensive to buy a decent one) and learn the double bass. You won't regret taking up the challenge and the sooner you begin the better.
Her technique is fantastic. Her sensitivity the same. I think she's one of the 3 or 4 best violinists I have ever listened. And I mean it. Hilary has the absolute, rare gift to play "difficult" music - and we know very well how much boring a violin score can be - making perfectly sweet for every ear. She has the touch.
This is fantastic, very much agreed! But if you think she is the first great violinist, I am happy to report to you that you have much to celebrate as you discover recordings of many, MANY very special violinists of the past 100+ years.
What brings tears to my eyes is that some people don't get you weren't being 100% serious and missed the lightheartedness of your statement. Or maybe the fact that I'm commenting on a 2 year old comment.
Wow. Just wow. I grew up listening to Milstein and Menuhin's recordings. I began playing them when I was in Junior High School. I don't play much any longer. I just recently discovered Hillary Hahn's recordings. All I can say is that her playing brings tears to me eyes every time. I am not sure how you could possibly join technical proficiency with artistic vision any better. So much going on with these pieces. Multiple voices and harmonies. How to play them is up to some debate. Her playing is what I've always imagined in my mind as the vision Bach had when he wrote these sonatas and partitas. What joy. That's all I can say. What joy, and how lucky we are to have her! I'll be keeping an eye out for performances she does later in her career to see how she changes her interpretation of them.
My jaw just hit the floor. The most beautiful Bach I've ever heard---the articulation and sound is unbelievable. This video solidifies my opinion that she is the best in the world.
She definitely sees those passages coming and is ready to bring out all the musicality that she can muster, seems like she pulls it off nine times out of 10
Ms. Hahn is one of my favorite musicians and human beings. The gigue she begins with is one of the first things I ever heard her play. I discovered her CD "Hilary Hahn Plays Bach" some 15-20 years ago, and I've been a fan since.
Just so you know, Hilary descended from a cloud and has since showed everyone how a violin should sound. So don't miss you chance to hear heaven when you hear she is playing.
Fantastic violin playing. I discovered Hilary Hahn today and I just can not stop listening to her playing. Great inspiration for me to practice my vio. Hilary THANKS !!!
@@davehshs651 What on earth is a "recovering fundamentalist"? People throw that word around in reference to Christianity constantly without knowing at all what it means. Bach wrote some of the most glorious chorales and professions of God's glory in history, as I'm sure you're aware.
@@RohannvanRensburg Please reread my original comment. I contrasted the 3 hymns performed here with Bach, whose music I love and stated that I would rather hear (than the hymns). A "recovering fundamentalist" is simply a person who was emotionally scarred by being raised in a bigoted religious environment and is still *recovering* from that upbringing. What is so hard to understand about that? Of course, I'm aware that Bach was a Christian, but his music was not generally played in the church where I was raised, so, fortunately, I don't associate his music with my upbringing. I'm grateful that the great Masses are in Latin, because the meaning of many of the words is horrendous, generally referring to a vindictive God who condemns people to eternal torment simply for not holding the *proper* belief.
It's so lovely meeting other TwoSet fans around TH-cam. Have all of you heard her new album "Paris"? Just purchased it and gave it a listen today. Blew me away! Long live Ling Ling! (Huge smile) And y'all take care and stay healthy, too.
What we are listening to here is versatility in a musician. Miss Hahn see blessed being able to perform in so many styles of music. We are truly blessed being able to listen to her music in our life time...
I played the gigue (badly) when I was a kid. After 30 years’ hiatus I was inspired by Ms. Hahn’s playing to take out my violin again just to see if I could play one single measure with a glimmer of her intonation, confidence, precision and perfection. I’ll let you know if I ever get close. Simply a breathtaking performance. Thank you so much. Steve K.
+Juan Acevedo I don't know why people always talk about a musician's talent. Talent has little to do with musicianship in the grand scheme of things. For every one piece that sounds amazing there's hundreds of hours of practice.

Nathaniel Cance The only thing that I'm ticked off with more is when people talk of "God" giving us "Such and Such". Talent has little to do with it and god, nothing at all.
Talent is a very real thing. Natural god-given ability is real. But the difference between a talented person who works hard and one who doesn't is greatness. Plenty of talented people don't put in the work and plenty of hard-working people lack the talent to 'make it'. The world is not one of unlimited opportunity for everyone. That is what makes greatness like this so breathtaking and special. How rare are such gifts, and how difficult to make them soar.
Simply outstanding. Hilary's tone is magnificent, and not just this recording, she has a great bow arm. The timbre of her instrument suits her, I believe it's a Vuillaume; I'm glad she ended up with it and shares it's potential with the world.
She has been my favorite violinist since I saw her perform live in Seattle about 20 years ago. I especially love her lark ascending. I played her Barber and Meyer cd until it wouldn't play anymore. I'm glad that TH-cam is a thing now.
Very interesting choices ! Recently I discovered Hilary Hahn, and have enjoyed listening to her playing various composers. Wish you a happy and fulfilling life in God's abundant blessings !
The first time I heard her on the radio I pulled over and stopped the car -- only she and Gil Shaham have that wondrous power of the current crop of violinists. And it is SO NICE to have a woman of this talent get this recognition! Thanks for posting this.
Saw her perform with the Honolulu Symphony when she was a teenager- concert master could barely keep up with her Bach duet encore. Absolute wonder then, even more so now. Kudos to her parents, teachers, mentors, and G_d given talent.
Wonderful discovery on youtube. I remember watchimg amd listening to her when she was just a young teenager at the BSO (Baltimore not Boston) and I was a struggling actress/usher. Well done HH. God speed.
There is something In Hilary’s interpretation that I can not define, it is like an hypnotic effect, it is something she only can produce on the listener. The perfection and accuracy of her performances, added ti her unique delicate ability to créate and dónate a subtle emotional atmosphere give as a result an unique violinist (I personally consider one of the best) I have had the fortune to listen.

Or from people who prefer a different styling. I didn't vote this down because of course nobody playing this well deserves a bleedin' thumbs down on youtube but...I personally prefer a more emotional, individualistic playing.
Anyone else involuntarily start narrating a letter to Ma back home about the conditions here at the army camp, around 9:00 in? Fantastic. Hilary is wonderful.
Oh how I would love for her to make a CD of Christian music. Her talent is a gift from God and I thank Him every time I listen to Hilary play. So moving is her music. I Bach could hear her he would say, "at last, that's how it should sound".
I loved the hymns...HH surprises me...I wonder if she was raised listening to these hymns in a church. She just improvised it so naturally, like she was so familiar with it.
NPR, you are doing us all a tremendous service by putting your Tiny Desk videos up here. And as someone else mentioned, seeing her perform so up close to the camera is fantastic - especially for me, as I'm learning the violin.
It’s amazing how different the sound is in this acoustic compared to a big concert hall. It must be more similar to how she hears the sound she produces.
i'm a fan. I usually don't like unaccompanied violin much. but she plays with such sensitivity and understanding, I can appreciate the intelligence behind the music
Amazing playing. "I'm just going to accompany myself." 'Cause yeah - that's no big deal. I can just do that. The laws of physics plainly don't apply to her.

With a professional even a bad violin can sound very beautiful.

She is my idol and one of the best violinists in the world.
incredible she sounds so awesome with a close mike in a dry room, unaccompanied.
That girl's technique.. is stunning. It really is. Very clean, very strong and confident.. A very defined articulation.
The Ives brought tears to my eyes. An honest and vulnerable tone.
