I am 57 years old and still practicing 3-4 hours everyday. I studied your Paganini’s caprices RU-vid videos last night until 2:00am. Thank you for the true and honest performance!
Cassandra Loki press the A string down, with your index finger, on the B note. Now, place your 2nd finger down on the A string, on the C#, bowing ever so lightly. Now bow gently. If you’re barely making contact with that string and it should make a whistling sound.
Im 12 and I have been playing the violin since I was 4 years old. You are my idol because your tone is amazing and beautiful your technic is amazing and that fake vials. Thats everything so Cool. I won every competition and in Czech Republic me and my trio are the third best players in this republic. But you are the best violinist on the world and i don’t have any world for this.
This is the best interpretation I have ever heard of The Romanian Folk Dances. I'm truly spellbound. Augustin, you've outdone yourself once again. I can't wait to see you live again, man. Wow! BRAVO!!!
Wow, an incredible performance of such a familiar piece...sound, harmonics, and slides are out of this world. Best version and interpretation ever!! Thank you so much Augustin!! :-)
I am from Romania and ia love the folk music very much, and i must say that not a lot of foreign musicians can get into that spirit, but You did it very beautifully. It would be lovely if you did " Ciocarlia" by George Enescu. :D
Beautiful! I just watched your performance of Paganini's No.1 Violin Concerto. One of the best performances of these works. Your cadenza was phenomenal. I was speechless. Thanks again!
Absolutely and utterly incredible Augustin, I really really enjoyed watching you play this amazing little folk dance. So very very pretty. And you played it as always with such passion and sensitivity too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Una obra llena ritmos muy diferentes y una interpretación llena de inspiración...el folclore que expresa tanto de cada país, de cada cultura, tiene siempre algo en lo que podemos reconocernos todos...al menos yo así lo siento cuando escucho músicas de todo el mundo... siempre hay algo que me llega al corazón. Gracias! 💜🎶💜🎻
Inspiring as always! I like the organic chords in no.1 very much and will shamelessly try to copy them. Also it's the first time I see my fingerings of no.2 on youtube :-)
Thank you so much for such great performance. Really like the angle of video shooting I can see your finger movement so clearly. (I'm practising this piece now but the harmonics are not easy for me.😅)
It's interesting to see when you're listening to your piano accompaniment with earphones, and when you're listening to your violin playing...I wonder what the reason behind it might be? Perhaps it helps to have the piano to orient yourself when playing those harmonics! Love the playing!
I recorded the piano part first for the harmonics variation and the following one; and also the ending,. The rest of the piece, violin first - that's why the ear pieces appear. For some sections, when the violin is rhythmically flexible around a steady beat, it just sounds much more natural when the piano is recorded first. Many of my collaborations with myself are done piano-first, but some are violin first. Usually when I record the piano part first, I just press "play" on the electric piano, playing what I just pre-recorded. For my June recordings, I started using these earbuds, to avoid certain mixing issues later.
Augustin Hadelich I was noticing that - it makes a lot of sense and it’s encouraging to see that you’re doing that. I sometimes feel a little "cheaty" when I record things in segments or with something in my ear, but it doesn’t seem to make your videos any less amazing. Maybe I’ll do it too :)
