Erich Wolfgang Korngold was a magnificent composer, his music has your emotions soaring in the sky. This concerto is so romantic, and filled with the passion that is in life. Hilary Hahn gives a brilliant performance on the violin, and is an absolute joy to hear. Thank you Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Hilary Hahn, and the talent conductor and musicians in this orchestra for giving us this beautiful moment in life to enjoy.
He wrote the first film music too! So he knew how to convey emotions in his music for the silver screen as well!
@@tylermoore8218 He wrote the first GOOD film music. Korngold was the first composer of international stature to write soundtracks, but there were movie soundtracks before him. They were just all bad. ;-P
i agree who woudnt, Hilary is wonderfull Eric .Korngokd is so romantic...this is a gem
Magical, beautiful 💫🌟❤️🎶💐
Let's not forget Sergei Prokofiev's score to Sergei Eisenstein's epic film "Alexander Nevsky"
Fell in love with classical music at the age of 20 thanks to this exact piece performed by Hilary, never looked back since.
I fell in love with classical music when I was 15 after hearing the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto. That was 54 years ago!
I felt the love and romanticism of Classical Music at the age of 8 LOL
I was literally born in love with it
Same, i turned 20 this year, now I love It
I fell in love with this too but when I was 10 or 11 😍
Sadly Korngold suffered from having invented film music as we know it today (along with Max Steiner) when he fled to Hollywood from Viena, he was then criticised by the snobs for writing classical music that sounded like film music! There were cries of "more Korn than Gold". But then Groves dictionary in the 1950s said that Rachmaninoff's music wouldn't last! This concerto is beautifully constructed and wonderfully orchestrated but more important it is full of glorious melody, texture and contrast. Gradually Korngold is being given his rightful place as one of the great composers of the first half of the 20th Century.
And to add onto that, Sibelius was criticized as the "worst composer in the world" for not adopting Serialism and Dodecaphany as was the "norm" for a 20th century composer!
Everyone knows Sibelius. Nobody knows who is Leibowitz, nor cares.
To be fair, most of the music for the violin concerto is actually drawn from film score ;-)
But what a film score!!
"Academics" and critics have a set bias that is anti-musical. They do not understand one of the functions of music. In their blinkered vision music has to "move forward" at all costs, like scientific discovery. Except music isn't science. It's art.
It's hard for me to articulate this properly.
The composer has a duty to be honest with themselves, to write something that truly comes from their own musical vision and is not a simple pale imitation of others.
But a composer also has a duty to create a dialogue between the composer, the performers and the audience.
If the only way to understand a communication is to have extensive intimate knowledge of an extremely esoteric language used (ie: think of scientific terminology) then communication remains extremely limited. Only a select few will "understand".
This doesn't mean "aim for the lowest common denominator", but rather, lift up your audience, bring them to that point of understanding by creating a bridge.
We KNOW this is possible, it's been done, by many great 20th century composers (and 21st century).
And after all that? I love this concerto. It's a lovely, fresh, and vivid piece of music. It never fails to bring a smile to my lips.
@@MREmusique As a composer and pianist I couldn't agree more!! I have been struggling for years to find the words to express my ideas about what music means to me and you gave me those words ! Thank you so much for this . Greetings from The Netherlands
@@MREmusique I am a 65 year old composer and pianist and you just wrote ,what I always knew ,but never could express in words.... Thank you so much for that!
Exactly. Let me tell you, it is Rachmaninoff, Puccini, Tchaikovsky, Richard Strauss, Korngold, Ravel, all those that in post grad composition university they laughed at also add Williams to that list. Those composers and others like them are the ones that will forever be remembered for their gorgeous melodies, bombastic fast movements and incredible orchestrations that go through you in ways cerebral music and experimental music can never begin to touch.
Every note is clear and her music is very in control.. fabulous!
I could ask for her flawless intonation, her gorgeous tone at every point on the instrument, and her apparent ease with insane technical difficulties. But if I could just imitate those trills with the 4th finger I'd be happy enough.
Ruby Van Alterman or that 4th finger vibrato
A thought difficult to express. This, along with Sibelius, Bruch, more, is one of my favorites. I just listened to its opening by two other violinists, then returned to Hilary. With hers, I find that I RELAX and listen without the STRESS that I felt with the others. Can anyone else relate to that?
You might try listening to Leonidas Kavakos' youtube performance with Hugh Wolff and Frankfurt: th-cam.com/video/wTMFgk2i7Po/w-d-xo.html . I like Hilary, but Leonidas expresses the music so much more deeply, I feel. Listen to the first few phrases of the second movement with Hilary and then with Leonidas. I think you'll hear what I mean.
@@lorenhendrickson8637 Kavakos plays the mentioned phrases more sentimentally, which is excellent, considering the movement's title is "Romance," but I like the simplicity of Hahn's interpretation here. Less can be more! :)
You are absolutely right! She is beyond amazing! Love her with all my heart ❤
Sit back and listen to Heifetz - I don't think you'll feel any stress. Hahn's performance is absolute perfection. Heifetz is pure artistry. Not that Hahn isn't an artist - she's fantastic, but for me Heifetz still the one.

thx
21:03 concertmaster solo
Thank you !
On a business trip on the US East Coast in 1995, during which time I was separated from my young wife for 3 weeks, I listened to the Gil Shaham recording of this and the Barber concerto obsessively, as a kind of consolation. Listening to this music brings back the memories of that time so vividly. Music is like a time machine sometimes. This music will always seem bitter-sweet, to me.
Amazing and truthful beautiful comment. And what a great piece to get one through a difficult time.
It has such a lush and romantic warmth akin to the Tchaikovsky, of which Hilary’s is also pristine and magical!
It's as if Korngold's heart through his music, through that violin, grabs your heart and says, "Feel what I feel!" And you can't but feel it. What a power...
Korngold was the last composer of the old Viennese tradition, and arguably the last 19th-century Romantic composer who ever lived. His artistic zenith was the premiere of his opera Die tote Stadt in 1920, and it would all be downhill from there as the public's taste, political developments, and the negative influence of his father all worked against Korngold's favor. He died in 1957 virtually forgotten - so as he no longer recognized the post-war Austria, so as the Viennese musical scene moved on without him. It is quite unfortunate that he should have to suffer the decline of his stature for most of his adult life. It is my hope that with the advent of the Internet, his works will be exposed and reevaluated as equal in merit with the great composers of the past.
What is the viennese tradition?
@@ultimawerewolfbluephoenix9670 Good question - authors could devote entire essays answering this, as it is difficult to define but easy to give examples of. I would say it refers to the sense of melody, harmony, and expressiveness, along with their instrumental, formal, and philosophical underpinnings, that began under the First Viennese School comprising Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn, and subsequently expanded by Romantic composers into the early 20th century, most influentially, Brahms and Wagner; and ends with the musical revolutions spearheaded by Debussy, Stravinsky, and Schoenberg. Important elements of this tradition include the string quartet, sonata-allegro form, obeying voice leading procedures, tonal harmony, etc. (This is obviously an oversimplification, as tonal harmony and the string quartet remain important to the present day, and voice leading was still followed well into the 20th century...but you get my point.)
Korngold is an example of a composer who followed this tradition because all throughout his life, he composed operas, orchestral works, and chamber music that extended the Wagnerian legacy of extreme chromaticism with innovations in extended harmonies, while preserving the romantic character through things like 19th-century voice leading, extravagant orchestration, and classical forms. There are dramatic melodic leaps in Mahler, highly romantic, and Korngold extends that with even wider leaps, including in his Violin Concerto. The waltz is a well-known example of the "Viennese tradition" - well out of fashion after WW2, but Korngold embraced it (Straussiana, written 1953). The contrast of Korngold's last works with the contemporaneous works of people like Cage, Boulez, and Stockhausen is so great that he was practically an anachronism by the time he died.
@@Examantel thank you
I love this and I love his film scores too
@@Examantel Is there any efforts from modern composers to revive the style of the Viennese tradition?
editor-san brought me here
Same!!! I have been looking for this piece for months, only hearing snippets here and there, and when editor-san put the music with the name on their composing video I was finally able to find it again. Amazing concerto!

Me too
I knew that I know it!

5:52 - the moment you've all been waiting for...
And stolen by the composer of the Star Trek TV show.
6:11 though...
That 4th finger vibrato ... O.o
I undoubtely want to click, but if it's worth waiting... ;)
@@elleboman8465 is it true that there are violinists who do not vibrate on the fourth finger?
how do you do when you have a passage that requires a fourth finger vibrato ?. do you exchange and use the third finger instead of the fourth finger?
I love the way she plays this piece. You can tell she really thought about how she wanted to interpret it.
She is one of the best violinists of the world, and I’m sure she know it. This concerto is magic and very captivating.
i cant believe after over five years of listening to strictly only classical i never found this.
this recording and concerto are both amazing
The Korngold violin Concerto was dedicated to Alma Mahler Werfel, former wife of the composer, who had been a close friend before coming to the States. Heifetz, the leading violinist of the age, premiered the the work in 1947. It became popular with audiences, but critics were not impressed. The audiences won out since it is a standard for young soloists. Hilary Hahn has given the work the romance that is needed, and has met the technical challenges that Heifetz demanded in the final movement.
+Fritz Kirchhoff, Was für ein Armutszeugnis stellen Sie sich aus mit diesem unwürdigen und völlig überflüssigen Kommentar!

Pausenfoyer Von Christoph Irrgeher und Edwin Baumgartner
(eb) Vorbei die Zeiten des Jugendwahns, in denen Vierzehnjährige als
die Superstars von morgen angepriesen wurden, um mit sechzehn zugunsten
eines Dreizehnjährigen fallen gelassen zu werden.
Der Klassik-Superstar von heute ist jung, weiblich und hat Model-Maße.
Sex sells. Mit Können allein läuft gar nichts mehr.
Julia Fischer etwa. Eben ist sie von einer Blinddarmentzündung genesen,
und schon tritt sie heute, Freitag, und am Samstag im Konzerthaus auf.
Aber den ehrenwerten Tempel der Hochkultur könnte sie mühelos mit dem
Catwalk verttauschen. Ja, natürlich kann sie spielen - und wie! Keine
Ohren hat, wer das bezweifelt.
Aber blind ist, wer nicht merkt, wie toll Julia Fischer aussieht. Das
weiß auch ihr Management: Mehr als 10 Fotos gibts auf ihrer Home page (.....)
zu bewundern. Und nur sechs Hörbeispiele.
Aber Julia Fischer ist nicht einmal die Spitze des Eisbergs! Allein
diese Violinistinnen. . . Lidia Baich, Leila Josefowicz und natürlich
Hilary Hahn sind nicht nur Top-Geigerinnen, sie wären auch Top-Models.
Natürlich hat das ganze geigende Fräuleinwunder mit Vanessa Mae
begonnen. Aber selbst sie ist nichts gegen die Finnin Linda Lampenius,
die sich mit Künstlernamen Linda Brava nennt. Die gar nicht brave Brava
also hat einen Gastauftritt in der TV-Serie "Baywatch" gehabt - und
danach den Bikini für den "Playboy" ganz ausgezogen. Vielleicht sucht
sie ja eine neue Hauptbeschäftigung.
+Ramón G Castañeda It looks like Fritz just copied and pasted an entire obnoxious opinion/review article by somebody named Wolfgang Fuhrmann without editing or commenting on any point the author makes. There's a lot of this "I'm a critic and I love to listen to my own cleverness" smug crap in American writing in the arts -- depressing to see such a big hunk of it in German.
The world premiere was given by the St Louis Symphony Orchestra, under Vladimir Golschmann, with Heifetz as soloist, in February 1947. The work was commissioned by Polish violinist Bronislaw Huberman, but he apparently was reluctant to commit to a date for the premiere. (Huberman would die in June 1947, never, to my knowledge, having performed the concerto in public.) The choice of the SLSO as the premiering ensemble was a savvy one, in part because the SLSO at the time had a reputation for being able to learn new scores in short order. (Golschmann had long been a champion of contemporary music and had frequently introduced it into programs of the SLSO, and the orchestra had also been chosen to make the world premiere recording of Bernstein's "Jeremiah" Symphony in 1945, under the composer's direction.) More to the point, however, was that both Korngold and Heifetz may have hoped for a more sympathetic hearing in midwestern St. Louis than in the critically thornier musical centers of the east or west coasts.
Thanks to Maestro Korngold for composing, Hilary Hahn for a superb interpretation with orchestra and TH-cam for posting!
Wow! I have always loved Korngold's music, but this was stupendous!!! Brava Hilary Hahn and the Deutsche Symphonie, Kent Nagano!
Very nice piece. And beautifully performed by Hilary and the entire orchestra. Thanks for posting.
A shame that Korngold's compositions, beyond the film industry, are rarely heard. Perhaps a few more videos like this might change things. All future generations need to appreciate Korngold's genius.
I just can't get over how non-conventionally beautiful this concerto is. Particularly the second movement.
I cant speak during this... I am overwhelmed.
She's the gold standard playing music from a brilliant composer.
She is just a genius , her performances often sounds better than other famous violinists.
Ali Diba she’s considered a famous violinist now. 8th best in history
Where did you get this 8th best ranking?
@@tuberaxx just a summary based off some articles I’ve read
I would consider 2nd best living violinist though. After itzhak Perlman.
Sorry for the late response lol
Where's Jack Benny?
@@peterthompsonc3314 4th.
Simply and extraordinary beautiful.
This surely must be a new golden age.
No, it’s a Korngolden age.
@@harryrees627 OH NO ITS A DAD JOKE
@@harryrees627 Nice!
Korngold violin concerto is a magnificent masterpiece. So romantic, and so stunning.
The second theme of the first movement is so, so beautiful. This work is probably my favorite violin concerto of all time... the blends of Pucciniesque melodies and orchestration with the semiambiguous tonal episodes creates a very vivid and beautiful listening experience for the audience. 12:57
Heard it on my classical music station today, 90.5 FM, Univ. of Louisville. Had to listen again!!!!
Just me who had chills all over my body?
Nope
Hilary Hahn,s performance of this concert is absolutely excellent ! Love her tune and phrasings ! And visually , she is so appealing >> NO "showing off " on stage !
some people STRUGGLE WITH JEALOUSLY !
Sensitively accompanied by Nagano and the Deutsche Symphonie Orchester, Ms. Hahn is well nigh perfection itself, rendering each phrase superlatively and sensitive to every single nuance in this most glorious of violin concertos. Bravi!
Hear, hear!
How eloquent! I agree most strongly!
The 3rd movement is my favourite in the concerto, it's very difficult and needs lots of dexterity. She plays it incredibly well 😊🎻
Agree - I wish the orchestra had kept up with her a little better!!
I love the part where the concertmaster gets the melody of the soloist, and the soloist that accompanies him kinda. Lovely haha.
Thank you Maestro Nagano and Miss zHahn yo gang bee life and magnificently so to Erich Korngold’s concerto. He landed in Hollywood to escape the Nazis at WWII’s outbreak and became famous for his gorgeous film scores. So sad that he died before knowing how loved his classical pieces would become. Thank you for sharing this very stirring violin concerto that Miss Hahn plays magnificently. Mr Korngold would be thrilled. I am
Reger, Berg, Bruch, Korngold, Roussel, Ravel, Debussy... late Romantics - and we thank them for it.
Um, Debussy and Ravel were not late Romantic composers.
@@djmotise And Berg? I don't think so.
darren motise exactly what I was thinking
Wish this could go on forever.
I'm addicted to this concerto!
Me too.
such a beautiful concerto--full of such tender, yearning feelings---and sweetness....ms. Hahn is incredible of course.
Quel splendide concerto ! (Je l'aime depuis mon enfance...) Et quels *merveilleux interprètes* ! Un régal. 👏👏👏
She's unbelievable! Such ease and grace. Her precision is magnificent.
this piece is amazing!!! i would love to play this one day
Daniel Stephens j
Make today the day! I implore you,as soon as you have read these words,go to that place where your lonely violin sits,take that violin from its dusty cobweb-covered case, and send these glorious notes out for humanity to cherish! The world awaits your divinely inspired rendering of this masterpiece of musical mystery and magnificent,er-magic.
@@darrylschultz9311 I'm inspired but that's what I thought when I started playing paganini. Now, I decide I will never play Paganini until I'm ready
I had to learn to appreciate this piece in the right way, but this lady plays the violin fabulous! So much ease. I'm impressed.
Love her little gesture to the celli at 19:15 :)
Well-spotted! I've had the privilege of seeing both Perlman and Shaham perform this live, though unfortunately never Hilary Hahn, and I'm struck by 2 things they seem to have in common. 1) All three are interacting throughout with the musicians of the orchestra, by eye contact, body language, appreciative smiles -- it's like good jazz or chamber music. This concerto benefits from that interpersonal connection more than some others, perhaps. 2) They all seem to be enjoying themselves! Maybe that's part of their communication with the audience. Somehow, both of these visual elements are audible in their playing, and I can recognize it even over the radio.
I listened to movement 3 with my private violin teacher. I'm really inspired.
I hope you weren't charged for that time.
The Ice Princess melts your heart.....
Love this wonderful concerto... brings me such peace...
It's 2024 and you're in love with 2nd movement of this piece played by Hilary Hahn :))))
Beautiful music played with concentration and feeling. Marvelous lyricism. Bravo!
Korngold had a first period of success as a viennese postromantic
composer which ended with his famous opera "Die Tote Stadt" in 1920. He
was forced to exile due to nazism and lived in USA through film music.
After WW2, the taste had considerably changed in Austria and Europe and
his way back with serious music turned to a complete failure. The two
works which are still known is the really outstanding opera Die tote
Stadt (the dead town) and this concerto for violin. This concerto is
indeed outstanding. The central movemennt is incredibly lyrical. The
symphony that he composed is indeed very beautiful in a post-mahlerian
style but tastes have evolved. Life is often crudel for gifted artists.
Thanks for posting this concerto.
I watched her perform tonight with NSO at The Kennedy Center and she was magnificient. Korngold would be proud. The audience went wild!
Stunning, rapturous, gorgeous, moving... Bravo, once forgotten genius Korngold, bravo, Hilary Hahn!
Gorgeous work gorgeously played by the amazing Hahn
My preferate violon concerto of all Time!!!
Un régal pour les connaisseurs et plus avec Hillary hahn it's simply great close to Max Brunch music I think. I love
Korngold is a Genius !!
All his repertoire is great !🙏

Damn! the first movement is like Sibelius and Tchaikovsky, romantic, lovely, and poetic
I played this with as a substitute in the viola group. 🎻 was still in my study time. Great memory to me.
Such a master piece...
Maravilloso Concierto y violinista fenomenal!! Gracias!!!
very beautiful koncert and very good performance with violinist great
La grâce absolue d'une interprète de talent. brava !
I can never get enough of her.
Great Concerto, my favorite part is >24:20
As an on the side horn player, I'm gawking at 22:00 naturally.
Alan Deutsch because of how difficult it is to get a loud yet clear sound on the french horn and the horns absolutely nailed it lol
Pretty sure I knew what you were implying. It's a great sound
So beautiful, and your violin playing is awesome
This and the Glazunov my favorites !!!
¡Excelente! Hilary Hahn es perfecta en muchísimos sentidos... Sus versiones se mantienen en la difícil conexión, de principio a fin, del sonido para oídos musicales al igual que humanos. Una obra excepcional y bastante "bella".

Sex sells & Schnuckelklassik!!! BERLIN Berliner Zeitung 12.08.2006 von Wolfgang Fuhrmann "Ein neuer Typus hält Einzug ins Klassik - Gewerbe: junge Musiker mit verstärktem Niedlichkeitsfaktor" .... "Die Vermarktungsmethoden, mit denen die Klassikfirmen heute aus ihrer Talsohle herauszukommen versuchen, orientieren sich offener an den glänzenden Oberflächen des Mainstream-Popgeschäfts. Dabei geht es nicht so sehr um den Sex-Sells-Faktor, wie er etwa bei Anna Netrebko eingesetzt wird, wenn deren schwarze Mähne so wild ums Haupt fliegt, dass man förmlich den Praktikanten in den Kulissen mit dem Hochleistungsventilator hantieren sieht. Die neue Strategie der Plattenvermarktung setzt vielmehr auf das Prinzip Schnuckelklassik: eher Knuffigkeitsfaktor als Erotik (was ja auch immer etwas mit Distanz zu tun hat), eher Kylie Minogue und Britney Spears als Christina Aguileira oder Madonna. Noch ist Schnuckelklassik kein Begriff - Google kennt keine Einträge. Aber wir werden um das Wort nicht herumkommen, um diese Marketing-Strategie zu beschreiben. Stars müssen nicht nur so jung sein wie das ersehnte Zielpublikum, sie müssen auch so niedlich und knuddelig wirken, dass man sie am liebsten als Stofftiere mit ins Bett nehmen würde. Dafür dürfen sie auch ruhig Beethoven oder Bartók spielen - und tun es in den meisten Fällen nicht einmal schlecht. Der Glaube, klassische Musiker müssten sich mit Crossover-Projekten für die Pophörer profilieren, ist ein wenig geschwunden. Ruppiger Spätpunker-Charme wie bei Nigel Kennedy und allzu offensive asiatische Sinnlichkeit wie bei Vanessa Mae sind jedenfalls passé. Angestaubt wirken diese beiden Vertreter der 90er-Jahre vor allem auch durch ihre ständigen popmusikalischen Anbiederungen (Elektrogeige und dergleichen). Heute, da der Klassikleiter der Universal Music Group Deutschland, Christian Kellersmann, als Credo verkündet: "Klassik ist die neue Popmusik", hat sich die Beweislast eher umgekehrt, und so wird demnächst Sting ein Album mit Liedern des elisabethanischen Lautenisten John Dowland aufnehmen. Nicht zufällig bei der Deutschen Grammophon (DG), die zu Universal gehört. Und nicht zufällig kommen auch die meisten Schnuckelklassiker bei diesem altehrwürdigen Klassik-Label groß raus. Das ist auch historisch nicht unverständlich. Denn sollte je eine Geschichte der Schnuckelklassik geschrieben werden, würde der Geigerin Anne-Sophie Mutter, Karajan-Zögling und DG-Star, darin gewiss die Rolle der Ahnherrin zukommen - auch wenn sie dem pausbäckigen Wunderkinddasein längst ent- und in die schulterfreie Abendrobe hineingewachsen ist. So ist es nur folgerichtig, dass der Typus des Schnuckelklassikers derzeit in Reinkultur vor allem bei jungen Geigerinnen auftritt. Man denke nur an die Amerikanerin Hilary Hahn, deren immer ein wenig von Jungmädchen-Ernsthaftigkeit geprägtes Antlitz beim Betrachter unwillkürlich den Eindruck entstehen lässt, hier mache sich jemand ganz doll Gedanken über den Zustand der Welt. Im Gespräch kann sie zurückhaltend bis zum Nichtssagenden sein. Tatsächlich aber ist Hahn durchaus - und sehr amerikanisch - offen für allerlei volksnahen Unfug; auf ihrer Internet-Seite findet sich wunderbare "Fan Art"; Selbstgemaltes von Bewunderern (wir empfehlen das lustige Sonnenbild!), außerdem gibt es "Itty Bitty News" (zum Beispiel eine Todesanzeige ihres Meerschweinchens Psyche: "starb am 30. Juli 2004 mit zweieinhalb Jahren an einer rätselhaften Verdauungsstörung") und ein regelmäßig geführtes Reisetagebuch. Die Seite enthält auch Tipps, wie man alleine Zeit in einem Hotelzimmer verbringen kann: zum Beispiel mit "Lesen", "Auf dem Bett auf und ab springen", "Bügeln", "Fernsehen (Filme, ausländische Sendungen, Tierrettungsshows, Sport oder verrückte amerikanische Sendungen, wenn jemand Amerikaner ist und Heimweh hat)", "Alle Möbel umstellen (eine meiner Lieblingsbeschäftigungen)" und so weiter. Außerdem führt Hahn gerne mit Mitmusikern Interviews, wobei immer dieselben Fragen gestellt werden: "Ist Schokolade eine Droge?" - "Lieblingstiere?" - "Was halten Sie von Bach?" - "Schnittblumen?" und so fort. Dass man sie auf ihren Fotos kaum je lachen sieht, ist also erstaunlich; da sie diese Fotos aber selbst auswählt, vielleicht auch erklärbar. Sie sieht sich, wie so manche junge Dame, wohl nicht gern selbst beim Lachen zu. Ein richtiger Wonneproppen hingegen ist Hahns niederländische Kollegin Janine Jansen: Sie strahlt am liebsten von einem Ohr zum anderen. Jansen ist sich auch nicht zu fein, auf ihrer Homepage mit einer Fotogalerie von nicht weniger als fünfzehn Bildern zu prunken, während ihre lettische Konkurrentin Baiba Skride sich gerade mal sechs gestattet. Und wo Skride auf dem Cover zu ihrem Solo-Recital in Jeansanzug vor einem Bretterzaun street credibility einforderte, da sieht man Frau Jansen in abendgerechten Tüll- und Seidenträumen, aber auch im kleinen Schwarzen oder schlichten weißen Hosenanzug. Kurz: eine Frau fürs zarte Geigendiner, wo Skride eher den Typ zum Pferdeausreißen gibt. Die schnuckelklassischste aller Photogalerien aber hat die Berlinerin Caroline Fischer aufzuweisen. Auf ihrer Website präsentiert sich die "Pianistin aus Leidenschaft" auf neunzehn (Rekord!) Bildern in allen Lebenslagen: sinnlich schmollend, verschmust lächelnd, kühn viel nacktes Bein von sich spreizend. Man meint, plötzlich in die Bewerbungsmappe für eine Teenie-Modelagentur geraten zu sein, so ungehemmt trägt Fischer hier ihr Aussehen zu Markte. Und Klavier spielen kann sie auch noch! Die Herren spielen bei der Schnuckelklassik vorläufig noch die zweite Geige. Rolando Villazón, an dessen Charme nichts zu rütteln ist, hat große haarige Raupen statt Augenbrauen, und der junge griechische Geiger Leonidas Kavakos besteht überhaupt nur aus Behaarung. Das mag für Teddybären angehen - die Bedingungen der Schnuckelklassik erfüllt ein freundlicher Klavierknuddel mit lustiger Igelfrisur aber doch besser. Der Mann heißt Lang Lang und hat schon hartgesottene Politik-Redakteurinnen dieser Zeitung in Verzückung versetzt. Und ein ganz heißer Kandidat als erster Schnuckelklassik-Dirigent ist Gustavo Dudamel. Lockenköpfig, liebenswürdig, enthusiastisch wie ein Welpe, laut der Tageszeitung "El Universal" einer der schönsten Menschen Venezuelas - und ein wunderbarer Musiker, der demnächst, so ein Zufall, groß bei der DG rauskommen wird. Herzigkeit sells! Und Klassik ist die neue Schnuckelmusik. ------------------------------ Fotos (5) : Caroline Fischer So entspannt sich die "Pianistin aus Leidenschaft" (siehe www.carolinefischer. com), wenn sie gerade mal nicht in die Tasten greift.

Hamburger Abendblatt 29.11.17 ELBPHILHARMONIE Joachim Mischke
Der Star-Geiger ist dafür bekannt, eigenen Spielregeln zu folgen. Ein Gespräch zu seinem Solokonzert in der Elbphilharmonie.
Hamburg. Zwei Stunden geschlafen letzte Nacht, eingeflogen aus Portugal. Er war beim Filmfestival in Lissabon, um "Images d'Orient" vorzustellen, einen 27-Minuten-Kurzfilm - keine Worte, mit Musik, die sich auf Schumanns "Bilder aus Osten" bezieht - über die Arbeit des Syrers Nizar Ali Badr, der aus Kieselsteinen Skulpturen baut. .......
Unsere Gegenwart ist so komplex, so kompliziert - auf der einen Seite des Atlantiks Trump, auf der anderen Putin. Sind Künstler in diesen Zeiten per se für mehr da, als nur Konzerte zu geben?
Kremer: Da sprechen Sie mir aus dem Herzen. Es ist eine Aufgabe des Künstlers, mit der Zeit zu gehen und sich nicht hinter Großwerken der Vergangenheit zu verstecken. Man muss Berührungsgratwanderungen unternehmen, damit Kunst lebendig wird. Man muss die Konfrontation mit der Wirklichkeit suchen. Leider kommen sehr viele junge Künstler in die Versuchung, anderen Regeln zu folgen - denen des Marktes, des Verkaufs.
In Ihrem letzten Buch "Briefe an eine junge Pianistin" sprechen Sie etliche Warnungen aus und prangern Missstände in der Klassik-Branche an. Haben Sie sich damit mehr Freunde gemacht oder mehr verloren?
Kremer: Es geht mir nicht um die Menge verkaufter Karten oder erhaltener Honorare. Mir geht es um die Substanz. Großer Umsatz soll gut sein. Alles total daneben. Ob ich in der Masse der Publikums Anhänger gefunden habe, das kann ich bezweifeln.
Ihre Texte in dem Buch lesen sich arg frustriert. Gab es einen berühmten Tropfen, der das Fass überlaufen ließ?
Kremer: Nein, ich wollte einer begabten Pianistin ein Wegweiser sein.
Wie waren die Reaktionen aus der Branche? "Ach, der Kremer schon wieder ..."?
Kremer: Einige in den Medien konnten sehr schön darüber meckern, dass ich Binsenweisheiten liefere. Aber die haben eine Existenzberechtigung in der Konfrontation mit der Gefahr für junge Künstler. Nur wenige folgen ihrer Berufung; die anderen suchen Wege, wie sie sich mit der Musik schmücken können. ...
In Ihrem Buch schreiben Sie: "Man ist verantwortlich für seine Musik." Guter Satz.
Kremer: Ich gebe Ihnen einen besseren mit auf den Weg. Nicht von mir, von Einstein: "Stilles bescheidenes Leben gibt mehr Glück als erfolgreiches Streben, verbunden mit beständiger Unruhe." Eine Weisheit, an die nicht viele denken.

MeToo?! THE GUARDIAN James Rhodes Tuesday 4 February 2014 ... "Good looks have long helped to compensate for a lack of talent across the entire music industry. But the sexualised marketing of young women, particularly, in classical music has also now become normalised. Witness (the undoubtedly hugely talented) Yuja Wang's barefoot performances complete with interval dress changes, see the hundreds of PR shots of the kind that keep teenage boys locked in their bedrooms for everyone from Hélène Grimaud to Alison Balsom. Some album cover portraits for female artists could double as escort agency profile pics. Publicity for young male artists is increasingly sexualised too, but not to anything like the same degree."...
simply superb.
I saw Ms. Hahn this spring 2023 in Essen Germany. She played Brhams Opus 33 great performance and absolut hilarious.
The stoic expression on her face and the romantic tempest that comes through her fingertips - so gorgeous!
Qué precioso concierto y, Hilary, qué enorme violinista.
I deeply love ! ! ! ! ! !
Belíssimo concerto, mais uma vez com excepcional interpretação de uma obra certamente pouquíssimo conhecida.
The purity of her tone and heart are out of this world; she is the greatest violinist alive. The dozens of wretches who voted this thumbs down must have spirits as dark as night and tin ears.
That was beautiful. This concerto can sound very schmaltzy and sugary in most of the recording one hear on TH-cam but Hilary, often sounding a bit cold sometimes, has got this under control here and the result is perfect and her technical skills of course excel as always.
Does anyone know when this was recorded? Hilary looks like she's about twenty, but its after she cut her hair.
Beautiful concerto, as always. She should put the Korngold on a CD.
+David Peterson, Ms Hahn always looks improbably and eternally young. :-)
On the DVD they write, it has been filmed between End of 2003 and June 2004.
Maestro Nagano looks quite young here too!
Shes 40 now
I would also love to see this concerto available to download on my music app. So very beautiful....the entire orchestra is part of that of course, but I have listened to every other TH-cam offering of this piece and she is my favorite.
very impressed with the orchestra - perfect,like a metronome 😮 ofc miss Hahn, no words
DominO pLay I
Beautiful performance ❤
Awesome interpretacion!!!!
so wonderful !
Ce compositeur n'est pas assez connu! il a composé des merveilles (comme ici)
I don't know how she played that, I fell in love with it. 22:18
Se puede añadir todo cuanto se desee a una música así interpretada , considerarlos nuestros héroes , rendirnos ante la grandeza del compositor como desear que el tiempo que nos queda por vivir estuviera echo de momentos como estos .
Muy Proustiano , sí señor . 3:36
wonderful!
Thank you, Loren. I will.
Magnífico concierto
hilary hahn, as usual...wonderfull!
Pure magic !
This guy is the absolute bollocks! Holy hell this is stunningly articulate. A Real master at work here. His detail is absurdly punctilious & these romantic shrills are so bold. Like the whole orchestra will just wait it out for the sweetness to consummate each phrase! So intrepid and virtuous. It's kind of a shame no composers dare to compose in the highest ranges anymore. Very romantic and definitely represents the grip love has on the young heart.
huh?
@@nedcrouch3202 - some one take his Thesaurus away.
This guy is a very beautiful woman.
@@jamesmatthews905 I have no idea why you are all being so callous. Forgive me for being born..
Браво.!!!!!
INCANDESCENT perfection ♥♥♥♥
Beautiful, but very strange camera work. Every instrument has been showed, except the concertmaster (Bernhard Hartog), even when he played his beautiful solo with Hilary together he wasn’t in the camera focus. Except that, extremely beautiful performance, bravo :)
I said that the minute I viewed the DVD. The editor is on crack.
すごすぎる❗小指が、神業ヒラリーハーン感動的でした、
Her playing impacts me with such force so that she would seem to be in possession of her very own gravitational pull. A delicious dissonance. Even more remarkable that her astounding gift to us all comes packaged in a very sweet and gracious young woman.
Por qué le pondrían dislike? uwu es maravilloso el concierto y Hilary
Yo creo que ni lo escuchan. Hay gente para todo. Le deseo salud.
This is lovely. She is so passionate. Perfect for this piece. The third movement was just a tad too slow for my taste but that may just be because I'm so used to the Shaham recording.
