I can't believe this is an ENCORE. THIS MAN BUSTED OUT ERLKONIG, ONE OF THE HARDEST PIECES TRANSCRIBED* FOR VIOLIN, AFTER A CONCERT
It is not written for the violin It has been transcribed to violin (Maybe you meant what I meant but your sentence is not clear so I felt I should say that. No offense)
@@alperenardasisman1691 oh, you make a good point! thank you for helping me clarify :D
If you didn't you should listen it from Bass-baritone Philippe Sly and look for the English translation, it is devastating. Not only the performance the contrast between narrator, child and father is fabulous. You'll get me if you listen and look for English translation of the Lieder
dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last few days =)
@Kylan Corey Definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :D
Every violinist have their own way of interpreting a piece
I wish everyone would read this comment before commenting.
Make it *every musician*
@@alperenardasisman1691 Y E S
truth right there
I really like his interpretation
Me too
i didn't like, it bothered me because its like he is rushing and mistaking on timing even if he does in purpose. Hahn's performance sounds more stable and normal to me.
@@bunyamincuci5235 I like this interpretation more than Hilary Hahn’s tbh. Because erlkönig is about a story of a father and son running away from a monster they can’t see. So I think he does a great job at portraying the chaos, the fear and the sense of urgency
@@Scriabinfan593 I think you're right, and while this is a great version, Hilary's can't be beat in my opinion; its so clean, precise, and spot on.
@@Scriabinfan593 he plays it like he would have composed that masterpiece.
Miss Hahn plays it like a good student.
An underrated genius
Totally. Why-
I'm so glad I've found him via TH-cam comments.
I'm no musician yet I hear two different themes (?) in Feng's interpretation and Hahn's. In this here is absolute terror, rush and desperateness whereas Hahn's screams of heartbreak as if it is however unwillingly accepted that no amount of rushing is not going to save the child.
I think that he interprets it so well because the sharpy Melody requires it. The song is more about a fugue between two voices (as minimum) which one is trying to reach the other, so it's needs fury, like a storm.
Differents interpretations but both perfect.
Sorry for my English hhhhhh but I'm Spanish u know
That's deep, And I can say as a musician, I would think something along those lines
This person is critiquing someone playing in their own style, smh.
@@jhbjbjhk5044 critique? Since when giving personal opinion is critique?
Dam man, you may not be a musician, but you have tremendous taste for classical music, noice interpretation.
I wish Hilary had a more recent version. I've watched her play it for a bit in a twoset video and LORD the difference between her then and now....gave me chills. Interesting/10
I love listening to fan recordings of her 2018 HH Plays Bach concerts, because she played the last set as well. The difference between '97 and '18 is so noticeable. The other versions, from when she was 17, are bursting with youthful vibrance and excitement for life, whereas the newer ones are more introspective, thoughtful, and reflective. :)
She played 20-sec for a ling ling challenge 3 years ago and it was nice
Bravo! Feng Ning is one of the greatest virtuostic violinist of a whole generation. A violin player's violin player. Only a few have ever achieved such outstanding brilliance which completely transcends technical difficulty in order to make beautiful music.
I think this is my new favorite version of this. Excellent intonation and tempo.
Excellent intonation? Wow...
@@BetterMe981 where he went out of tune?
@@georgeplatsakis7277I think these people have no idea wtf intonation is, and not just one of them, sadly
The way he hits the e string @ 3:39 is divine. Amazing performance!
Goethe: Did not like Schubert's version of his poem.
Ernst: Don't care
List: Yeah this is gold
Literally everyone else: Schubert rules
daaaamn....
so fast, so beautiful, so passionate, and
so much attention to detail...
such a well executed performance.
I agree with the comments that say this interpretation, although less soothing to the ear, suits the piece better than Hahn's.
I strongly disagree. Hahn's sound is much richer, more like a human voice. Her interpretation has a depth and soul which this completely misses - I find it skittish and mannered. The way she brings out the melodic lines is superior. Note that playing the melodic line as a full melodic line with good sound is the real difficulty with this piece and demands a right hand technique out of this world; any good violinist can smash their way through the notes from the left hand perspective. Hahn clearly shines in this technical sense too. (It goes without saying that Ning Feng is clearly a fabulous violinist.)
@@publiced6500 her interpretation is meant to sound nice, whereas feng's id say more accurately brings out the drama in the tale. depth and soul isnt really important when the piece is meant to describe an unbelievablely catastrophic situation, with rushing through the forest (again succeeds in fengs interpretation). i feel more moved listening to this than hahns. Mind you, its just my opinion and thats the fun of it.
@@jcal5924 All of this is of course completely subjective (except for technical violinistic comments perhaps). Indeed I despise critics in general precisely because they tend to have god complexes when it comes to giving their usually rather stupid opinions. My reply above was just a gut reaction to the bating comment, but I have written it now and so will defend it a little. I do find this interpretation skittish and mannered, which I find is completely inappropriate given the situation of the original song. You don't hear singers sing any Schubert lieder - including the original version of this - with a half-hearted grating voice (unless you are rather unlucky). Moreover, this showpiece has nothing on the original anyway. It is purely a showpiece. To experience Schubert's original intention you must obviously listen to the original song which is far removed from this technical bravado. The song is so well written and subtle - a solo violinist can only do so much to imitate it.
Impressive. None of the coughing in the audience phased him. Listening to him was like watching a frantic painter use disappearing ink to weave a delicate tapestry on a turbulent canvas, one that might rip itself asunder because of a wrongly executed stroke. He was ultimately successful in keeping his canvas together, just long enough for us to thoroughly enjoy his masterpiece.
Definitely the best interpretation of this piece
I'm no expert, but I personally prefer this over hilary hahn's version. Just a personal preference. This is more like a winter storm, while hilary's version is more like a lullaby. And my personal image of this piece is a turbulent and exciting piece, rather than a soothing, calm lullaby.
I like this better than Hillary’s cuz his quadruple stops are slower
Hilary is boring
it's too fast to sound like a conversation / arguing...
@@naebalvas Indeed. But if you can play slowly you can play quickly
His timing sounds uneven to me. Maybe it's his musicality, but I'm personally not a fan of this interpretation.
Amazing version! Perfect pitch, each note is played clearly and the bow is soft! Amazing!!
You don't need perfect pitch for near perfect intonation
@@cellokid5104 I believe in this example, perfect pitch means the pitch was perfect, or more accurately perfect intonation. They did not mean he “has perfect pitch” in the sense you can hear a note and recognize it instantly
Wow! I love his take on this piece! So intense!👍🌹🌻🎉
Please, everyone: respect the artists! 💖 It's so much love for the instrument to get to this level of playing!
Behold the miracle of taking time on some notes but keeping the pulse. Unmatched.
A real genius. I didn't know him
Until now. Great musician 👍👍👍👍
It was his encore in Colombia the last year
I'm amazed at how fast he's playing the piece!
Beautiful 😍
Absolutely loved the play👌
Absolutely fantastic! The greatest performance of Der Erlkonig I have ever heard!!!
The best
The orchestral violinists looking in fear and amused amazement
Not bad. I was playing this at the age of 8 years old when I went to grade school in North Korea.
Wtf that’s crazy
And this is live! Just amazing
This is the best version of erlkönig played by a human
I dont think so. In my opinion Hilary Hahn sounds much better
I’d love to see it being played by apes though
Aaaah, I'd like to see a computer do better
@@TheBuldy the joke js that Hillary isnt human
You're right
Because Hahn isn't human
1:43 sounds like a cartoon flute and I love it
e

The passion at 3:40 onward is the what makes this whole performance come together for me
Feng playing one of the hardest pieces on violin like its hot cross buns:
His bow hair: 👁👄👁
See the woman in the middle face at 4:04
That is the asian mom's approval face
I love this rendition of this piece even though his bow hairs are falling off...
If you haven’t broken hairs in this piece, you probably failed lol
@@tylermoore8218 true 😂😂😂
der erlking is never wrong on both Paganini a and Ernst
Genius!
Very interesting interpretation!👍
Bravo!!
Só vendo pra crer nessa velocidade
Fantastic!
Bravo!
This is like the next level
Man I got goosebumps
Suena como una conferencia de cuerdas . Esta es una pieza difícil , de bravura en el violín . Gran interpretación.
fabuleux
Oh my gosh I’ve even heard Hilary Hahn skip a part with left hand pitz (not the entire piece) and you didn’t skip it !! Your are one of the only people I’ve seen do it !
Incredible.
Certifié intergalactique!
Ning Feng expresses the howling winds better.
진짜 이영상은 전설이다..
Able to bring out Melody notes at the end at that level !? Wow!!
Props to him for simply ignoring the fact that one of his bowstrings snapped, genius guy
A bow hair snapping is fairly common when playing
Yeah it’s not an uncommon thing, nor does it get in the way of your playing much…
The concert is on Friday,I go on Saturday and he didn't play this but sarabanda....
Seeing is believing. Hilary Hahn surprised me on this piece. He is another legend in my books!
Based
Damn! His bow...
The best of the best!!!
Holy crap
I could never learn this in just two hours of practice, no way.
Is he using a Greiner violin in this performance?
peak ning feng
Sans Voix.....
Sublime !!!!!!
Good fast attempt but useless in the end. The horse is just not fast enough to save the boy.
This is... Intense
That cough was sacrilegious.
Pro
his g is a little sharp
+Kevin Tang g spot?
you need a ruler to measure the weight of your brain ?
3:53 - haha, a broken bowhair or two. Not surprising, given the intense nature of this piece.
surprised it was only 2
Me watching at 2 am:
The audio is not very good...
is it supposed to be this fast..??
nothing is supposed to be this fast.
@@Admiralmeriweather yh try telling Ben lee that 😂

Ö o.....
1:43
Therefor,that the musical processing of the poem is usually played by a piano, and no string instrument,this one's quite impressive,but doesn't show superiority to the Piano performances,as those are just more fitting to the singing..It's quite misused in its actual point,same as you would rarely play a piece,which is composed for string instruments on a piano,without changing the appearance of the piece itself in some degree.
Did he just broke a string from the arch?
It's normal that bow hairs break from rigorous playing. Violinists rehair their bows once or twice a year.
i've never heard a successful rendition of this piece -
i think the inherent problem is that it's virtuosity doesn't 'sound' really virtuosic (i'm not talking about technical difficulties) - played slowly it's dull - played fast it's sloppy
You all need to lesson to Kristof Barati playing this and you guys will forget about Hilary and this dude ....peace ✌🏼️
This needs to be left at 666 likes because only Satan would even attempt to play this thing that fast.
Mark Lesniak Kristof barati did a even fast perfomance
In China 666 means OMG so good so maybe Ning would be happy too after seeing that number
I prefer Hillary Hahn's version of "Der Erlkönig." In my opinion, she expresses the notes much more cleanly and with far greater intonation. There were many places here in which the notes were noticeably flat or sharp, and the false harmonics in the section around 2:00 were particularly out of tune. Moreover, he rushed through the piece - perhaps it really was meant to be played faster than Ms. Hahn takes it, but what's the point of playing something at the proper tempo if it can't be played with musicality? This higher speed also resulted in the bow sometimes hammering at the strings with a thunking sound; this is also particularly noticeable in the opening passages and also in any other places in which the horses' galloping was mimicked. I think this probably results from too much tension in the bow-grip (I would know, because I have this same problem myself), leading the hand to have too much pressure on the bow. As a result, the bowstick presses down onto the bowhair and squashes the sound. I have to admit, though, that his "shrieks" were incredible. Now, I don't mean to say that this performance of "Der Erlkönig" is bad, because I have enormous respect for anyone who manages to learn this piece; it's an incredibly difficult piece. But still, I feel that it could have been better.
well, beginning to a point that you have, as you said, too much tension in the bow grip, it's pretty clear you see a piece just as a technical goal, development or concur which makes you, well an ignorant. When it comes to musicality, it's ridiculos to talk about what is musical enough and what it not. So, i am asking you - why the fuck if its perfect (like Hahn performance) it's better? why not be too fast, too crazy, why not having a thunking sound, why not have a squashed sound?? what makes anyone, or you to be so closed to different sounds? well, it's what they teach you - what is a beautiful sound, what is perfect and what is not. He is a crazy violinist, you can see it through every note that he plays, in every strike you can feel his vision of this piece. It is perfect, he made it feel it different. Hahn's is great and perfect in her own way. IT'S DIFFERENT. NOT BETTER OR WORSE. I wish all the fucking violinists of this world stop listening to music as a goal to concur, rather then to hear music for what it really is. But, its clear that you don't. Sad man,just sad.
I prefer you don't talk if you are just going to compare two wonderfull players.
DominOpLay... hilarious! You won't get what you wish for violinists. Because... they're violinists... most arrogant and ignorant of all instrumentalist, lol. Seems everyone BUT violinists know that. See how clueless they are?
I didn't think that the false harmonics at around 2:00 were particularly out of tune and I've played violin for over ten years lol.
Connor... lol... they weren't. Many notes after the harmonics were, though.
I found that most of the people who said hilary plays this piece better is just because of her articulation and intonation, and they even dont know what the piece and the story is about, what a typical of twoset fanboy worshipping Hilary Hahn who literally played this piece with no emotions at all. what a shame. but of course I admit hilary is a top class violinist, but not for this piece. if you know the story, you will know why this guy play it so fast, desperate, and emotional, and that's how this piece should be played
disagree. She plays very expressively; she's just not willing to play as frenetically and chaotically as this guy. It's an artistic choice, I think.
I could tell the voices apart better with Hilary Hahn's version which helped me to follow the expression of the story. It's absolutely an artistic choice for both artists in how they played it. I don't see how either is superior or inferior, only how each person could have their listening preference.
i like feng's playing more. from the poem it should be played this way. rough, full of anxiety, anger, scare, all the negative emotions during the conversations of the father and son.
One, love that TwoSet fans are literally everyone and two I've heard a lot of different recordings of this piece on violin and wuite honestly I think most people like hilary hahn because (in my opinion) she plays it a lot more cleaning than most people. That's not to says that others arent amazing and artistic with this piece but everybody has a different interpretation of this piece. From what I hear Hilary doesn't crunch the chords as much as most recordings but considering the story of this wonderful piece I do believe a slight crunch would appropriate for this piece. However, everyone has their own taste, likes, dislikes, and interpretations of playing
(Also it would be a classical performance if the audience didn't cough at least once 😂)
@@oflinesleepygirl that cough nearly ruined the most technical part
2:10 the dis was way too ?do u say "low"? *english´s not my native language
No because WHATTT
1:29 When you know you are not as good (2nd violin)
He's actually a first violin
Certified Intergalactic! The best after Hilary Hahn.
It makes no sense to have this without the words. he might have well just played a Pag caprice?????????????????
?? this is the wonderful arrangment by H.W. Ernst, and it captures all four voices PLUS the piano accompaniment in ONE VIOLIN PIECE. This piece makes caprice 24 look like childs play in comparison of difficulty
Well obviously you've never seen Hilary Hahn's performance of it!
It's a bit uncomfortable to hear the sudden stops on the piece, it's like you're wearing headphones but the audio keeps going on and off, though ofc he is playing one of the hardest pieces to ever exist and ik he's trying his best and this was 7 years ago so I'm sure he's pretty much mastered it
He plays the whole thing with a broken hair lol. Too good for us, we shouldn't be hearing this
Young Xi Jing PIng Plays Erlkonig
music is to be heard from your heart, not your ears, play Hilary's version and this. a intensive musical performance vs a monastery nun
hilary hahn's was better! But Itzhak perlman need to play this
He has, its just not been recorded lad, heard him play Der Erlkonig and The last summer rose back in the 80s.
Hillary is very boring
good but too fast, i couldn't feel the notes
HMA Hesham this piece is supposed to be played really fast, to represent the horse running away from the erlkönig.
@@blackfriedtofu4387 lol
sorry it was too fast for me to hear it running
Ah ok
이 노래가 급한 노래인 건 맞는데 이 영상은 너무 급해서 다 못보겠음ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 취지에 적절한 연주...
I did not like the performance. Ning Feng, in playing this is very technically proficient, excellent dynamics and phrasing, etc. However, in part of playing it too fast (it's a dramatic, expressive story piece, not a fancy performance piece), he appears to forget one of the hardest and most important parts of this song, conveying each of the three voices (the father, the son, and the Elf King), taking away the very purpose of the piece. I like Hahn's version a lot more, as she really plays it like a story.
are you ****ing kidding me ? you like a monastery nun playing violin ?
I'm surprised any virtuoso can saw this out and have it sound perfect. By the nature of it's writing there will always be delays in the tempo due to the infinite triple stops. I think my point is that Ernst should not have written it the way he did if he wanted any performer to maintain any kind of flow.
Yeah I totally agree. You should definitely check out a video that Sideways did on this song (Albeit about the original Schubert). I think you would find it extremely interesting.
Totally disagree!! This IS the best rendition
He went to my Music school for a show and talk lol
his skill was good but english is avg
Well English isn't his first language. He's a pro violinist, no need to highlight his English proficiency
hahn's takes 2x as long
muslit clearly you haven’t watched the full video she spoke for about 4 minutes about the piece and other things.
Kristoff Barati does it better!
every time.. I just look the gay behind him..
Скрипка - говно... Пианино - заебись!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From Hilary's interpretation you can hear the voices better and clearer. And those voices define the original song so I have to say that Hilary Hahn Is a bit better overall.
