Johannes Brahms: Sonata for piano and violin, A Major Op. 100 Augustin Hadelich, violin Orion Weiss, piano performed in summer 2020 as part of the 2020 Tanglewood Online Festival. www.bso.org
I was meant to be asleep an hour and a half ago, but i just can't. One of, if not the greatest violinist I have ever had the pleasure of listening too. The journey that I have been taken on through his beautiful playing is incredible.
Delicious! This sonata beautiful combines the rich power of Brahms with his exquisite tenderness. Hadelich and Weiss are a spectacular duo! I do hope you’ll be recording your collaborations.
Such balm during difficult times. A coalescence of the best of the human spirit. Thank you for this pure display of art, the most compelling achievement of our species.
Thank you, Augustin. I'm very picky when it comes to Brahms because I usually hear musicians playing very instrumental, and I am looking for the vocal way of a very big breath. You offer this and I'm so happy that I can hear this sonata played this beautiful.
In your hands it sounds as though the double stopping at the end lies under the fingers. I wish it did. Congratulations to both of you, a wonderful video.
immense gratitude for Augustin and the pianist for bringing this golden, warm masterpiece into the world✨the music really healed me on a bad day, so thank you❤️🩹
Maravillosa interpretación. A la verdad que Hadelich posee una técnica insuperable y un tono deslumbrante y cautivador. Eso, al unirlo al instrumento Guarneri de 1744, el resultado es pura magia auditiva.
This was played at the last live concert I attended before the whole COVID-19 thing last March. I got a wait-list ticket to hear them at NYC’s Townhall. This was my favorite piece out of the whole program, it also got so many senior audiences to stand up to cheer and applause for it. What a lovely afternoon that was! Thank you for sharing so I can re-live that concert:)
When I listen to this music, it feels like a wonderful dream of times long past with gentlemen wearing straw hats, ladies wearing wide brimmed hats and long dresses, and wicker picnic baskets.
Hello, I really love you, your interpretation fascinates me, your security and the pressure you have when playing, I am a violinsta from Mexico and I admire you. Best regards! ♥️
Thank you so much Augustin, I really really enjoyed watching you playing this with such amazing passion and sensitivity too, and I can only agree with the comment below too. It is too beautiful for words. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
In Holland Herman Krebbers told us not to vibrate with one vinger but but to put a second vinger beside the other one ,for me that was always a problem,therefore I like to see how nice you can vibrate with just one vinger on the vingerboard and it sounds great,by the way still the strange fourth button on the pianists sleeve all the best
It is impossible to add anything to the well-deserved praise that has already been given to this marvel. However, it would be more desirable if the piano could be more present. The other aspect that can be improved is the handling of the camera. Hadelich has not been captured in the best angles nor in all salient moments. For anyone who plays one or another of these instruments (and for any music lover, I think) it would be very good to use two different cameras, to show each one of the musicians.
Hi The Vivace in the second movement is so much like the theme to Fawlty towers by Dennis miller Wilson. He died in 1989, I think someone should phone up Johannes Brahms for him to alter it as he is infringing copyright. Adam Beanstock.
bravo! but piano should be louder in the recording as its not just meant as decent accompainement for wonderfull melodies, but full of thematic work and interaction.
Beautiful execution, you are great! Too bad the constant resonance in the microphones, a great instrument rich in sound and harmonics. It disappears in the last movement, I dare.
Not sure what you mean by "constant resonance in the microphones." Can you clarify? To me, the sound is fairly good, coming through decent small speakers.
Each is almost as loud as the other, so they are getting to the essence of Brahms' chamber music: no instrument should ever be louder or softer than any other. Given all the baggage associated with chamber music, it is very difficult to consistently obey this law.
