Carlos Gardel - Por Una Cabeza (arranged for solo violin by Augustin Hadelich) Augustin Hadelich, violin Filmed live on December 7, 2022 in Winterthur, Switzerland. Many Thanks to Musikkollegium Winterthur!
I saw him play this live at a different concert and it was just incredible. It was his second encore and I just wanted him to keep playing encores for the rest of the concert. Unbelievable skill and phrasing and his projection is something else. Sounded like two violinists
Superb performance!! Notice the way the other musicians look at him at 0:35, pure admiration! So graceful and expressive it easily rivalries with Perlman's one.
If you had made just this single arrangement in your entire life it would already be a life worth living. Hope he reads this, it's my thanks for giving me something beautiful to go back to every time i need it.
Having just arranged Por Una Cabeza for multiple different ensembles, I can't get my head around how he managed to fit so many voices into the one part. Admittedly he is not so restricted in level of difficulty as I am, but the arrangement clearly works nicely on the violin, and is not just playable. It seemed like his bow was moving in two different directions at once; the performance lived up to the arrangement and sounded like multiple instruments.
The greatest violinists used to always arrange their own pieces, write their own cadenzas so i love to see this! I also love to see the expressions from the other artists in the orchestra, they cant help but smile at parts they find particularly impressive, its the greatest compliment in my opinion
Tears were streaming down my face as I was hearing Mr. Hadelich play this piece. My mother who passed away in 2015 at the very ripe age of 99 used to love this beautiful tango by Carlos Gardel. It was her favorite. Bravo maestro. Impeccable!!!!
Heard this arrangement as an encore a few months ago in Brussels, I am so glad this is finally uploaded on RU-vid! Incredible performance, such a talented person
I don't know how he plays to make such a big resonance. He seems to be one of a few who can produce the tone without hitting the strings so hard. Also look at his left fingers dangling from the air with no reference point whatsoever yet hitting the fingerboard so accurately. He definitely has a very strong muscle memory!
You are a genius!! Most brilliant arrangement ever!! I was there listening to you playing this piece in Alice Tully Hall last summer (2023)!!You were absolutely amazing!!! It was my dream come true to hearing/watching you play in person!!! You are my favorite violinist!! I am going to Carnegie Hall next month to watching you play again!! So looking forward to it!!!
Vielen Dank für dieses wundervolle Konzert! Ich hatte wirklich schon gedacht, dass Sie diese Zugabe selber arrangiert haben. Wir waren alle begeistert und hoffen Sie bald wieder bei uns zu hören!
Wonderful!!!! Because of your playing, I started to learn the violin. Although I'm a beginner, I'll try my best to be like you. I know it's impposible to be like you. ㅠㅠ
That was marvelous! 2023 recommendation: Please record Wieniawski - Légende Op.17. It's one of my favorites. And you are definitely my favorite violinist.
He played this as an encore at a performance I attended yesterday. A few audience members chuckled as they recognized the tune from "Scent of a Woman".
Bravo Mr Agustin 👋👋👋 I am 12 years old and I play Sen Sans 3 concert(1mvt) and you are one of the best violinists with me. Thank you for wonderful performance.
