    Out of this world! I am old and my first violin teacher saw Ysaye play. He told me he never could figure out how Ysaye could play individual strings because his fingers were so thick. He said the violin looked 3/4 size in his hands.

    Wow! Again, I am left speechless from Augustin's performance. I, too, lack sufficient words to fully describe my admiration and appreciation of Augustin's artistry and phenomenal and unprecedented technical abilities. We are so fortunate to be living in an era where we have the technical means to record these unbelievable performances for posterity. Augustin's performances are hugely inspirational not only to violinists, but to all musicians.

      The experience is different for everyone! if I may share mine: I'm a viola player and when I switched to it at 12 years old I hadn't learned the serious musician's violin repertoire and so I wasn't familiar with the Bach E Major prelude for violin. I heard this Ysaÿe's "Obsession" on TH-cam before hearing the Bach prelude. So I was actually more shocked when I realised there was more to the opening phrase that's played here when I eventually listened to Bach's prelude! Needless to say: I learned at age 12 that this was a nod to Bach and the clue is in the title that Ysaÿe could not get this motif out of his head and he expanded on it in his own unique way!
      Very nice performance by Hadelich, I love it :)
