Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges was a French violinist, conductor and composer. His historical significance lies in his distinctive background as a biracial free man of color. Bologne was the first classical composer of African descent to attain widespread acclaim in European music.

Thank you for the background on this composer. Was not familiar with him, or this concerto.....!

[@raphaelwalter9288]

Nicht nur!!! Er war der beste Fechter seiner Zeit, und darüber hinaus auch wohl in anderen sportlichen Disziplinen hervorragend. Des Weiteren befehligte er due "Légion des Américains et du Midi" und kämpfte mit einem Freund in Haiti...

Thank you for the informations, it looks like kind of Mozart music if I didn't know who wrote this I was thinking that was a Mozart piece

[@bilingualpolyglot2478]

​@@elenacezaMozart himself was a sort of a fan of him😊😊😊 And the Queen Marie Antoinette was his fan too. Remarkable man of that period 😊😊😊😊😊

[@toddmurphy523]

Just glad no one said this composer was full of "bologne"....🤣😂🤣

[@elenaceza]

He is the best for me. It takes care of every note. Fantastic!

[@Caleb-ee2nt]

Love his unforced tone.

[@aldencrispin1086]

I Can’t get over how clean, and bright this performance is!

[@angelikaseegers-classicalg8053]

Wunderbar diese Eleganz im Spiel mit diesem herrlichen Geigenton und sehr schön musiziert vom gesamten Orchester und der Dirigentin !! BRAVO an ALLE 👏👏👏👏👏 ( Like 626 )

[@koopalovetoast2409]

So clean and so beautiful.. That tone, incredible!

[@ariankonci5727]

Such a class in his manner playing, great Augustin..👏👏👏👏👏

[@moooobkityy]

Omg thank you Augustin for uploading! The same concerto that I saw live in Newark NJ in 2021. It was actually streaming on PBS for two years but it was taken down couple of months ago. I was so sad they took it down but not anymore after seeing this upload!! I'm so happy now! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lpiele]

A fresh breeze of grace and charm from the 18th century (when they likely clapped btw movements). Augustin's patented singing tone is addictive: can't stop listening! And a special thanks to the Detroit Symphony, "the most accessible orchestra on the planet," for allowing us to enjoy this and many other of Augustin's concerto performances. ❤

[@johannfernandes5170]

Beautiful concerto and incredible playing by Augustin as usual .
Sound a lot like Mozart .

[@jacksaetveit]

It's astounding to think of what humans are capable of. It's inspiring is what it is. Thank you for giving us hope of what a human can do in such a short time.

[@toddmurphy523]

Never heard of this Concerto before...!!! Very interesting..! The "1744 Leduc del Gesu" violin continues to sound spectacular.....!!!!!

[@ethanhu2831]

Since Augustin performed this piece with Houston symphony in 2021, I have been looking forward to a release of a video recording by him! I even did a deep search on TH-cam over the past few weeks. So glad to see this!!!

[@kazokuyama457]

I'm usually so in love with the compositions of the romantic period, but the sound of violin by Augustin again got me and really enjoyed listening to this piece. I'm also mesmerised by the story of composer, who lived as a biracial in the 18th century...Thank you Augustin! 🤩

[@antonyroach6802]

When I read "Chevalier de Saint-Georges" I was hopping to hear his violin concerto in G major 😿

[@AugustinHadelichViolin]

They are both nice concertos!

[@tttenebre]

squeaky clean as always

[@roystewart4386]

Has a Mozart or Vivaldi vibe. Superb in all respects.

[@jaroslavcinibulk4358]

Hadelich wonderful, orchestra very good, conductor bad.

[@diegeigergarnele7975]

I don’t know about the orchestra as well, they just don’t really blend in sound. But yea conductor is probably the main issue here
