I'm flabbergasted by this extraordinary performance; the best I've ever heard...I think even Heifetz would have been really impressed by this super-human performance. Perfect sound, technique, richness, passion, flashiness, and that is just the beginning of my otherwise lengthy list of Augustin's indescribable virtuosic performance. I'm speechless! WOWWW! :-)
Listening to Augustin play makes me feel like anything is possible, given enough dedication and talent. From the elegant bowing, accurate intonation, gorgeous tone, and beautiful interpretation, I remain inspired and thankful the he has chosen to share his immense talent with us on a daily basis.
Augustin - thank you and thank you for the gifts you are giving us through these videos. I've been listening and growing accustomed to your sound and your artistry, so much so that I am being spoiled. Your sound has a deep richness but also brilliance - a wonderful combination - along with your artistry. (And may I say that I appreciate the humanity that you communicate when you give talks in other videos.) May you be blessed as you continue to give!

Even though he plays the fast passages flawlessly, I still prefer to here the slower passages like the beginning slower section, because his tone is so breathtakingly beautiful.🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎊🎊🎊🎊
I was in my usual classical music rabbit hole when this came up. And Oh my god, BRAVO! I must have heard this by a dozen different performers over the years, but yours is precise, emotional, confident, and lyrical - all at the same time. This is now my go-to recording for Sarasate's Introduction and Tarantella :)
Thank you so much for this :) I’m 14 and going to play this in 6 months for a violin competition and wasn’t really finding anyone I could work off of so thank you sooooo much :)))))))
Thank you so much, Augustin, this brought a huge smile to my face!!! Perhaps for one of your next Ask Augustin videos could you talk about how to play such a fast, demanding passage (or anything) without becoming tense?
Thank you for sharing your beautiful music with the world. I'm sitting in my kitchen, listening to your masterpiece on repeat, and there's nowhere else I'd rather be.
He’s so inspirational and makes it looks so effortless. I often play my violin just after watching him play and the spell lasts about 2 seconds before MEH!
This is an amazing Covid video with both parts performed by him and sounding so intact and organically connected like a live interaction. I could just imagine with this attention to the finest detail how long would have taken to put this video together 😂
Amazing 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent. I look each day with anticipation to see if you have made a performance video. The days you do are definitely sweeter.
I can’t express how much I enjoyed and appreciate your absolutely and utterly incredibly talented and stunning performance. You can knock spots off of the other’s, hey can’t and won’t ever get near to your absolute perfection. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
You have such amazing tone. Is this something you've always focused a lot of attention on, or did it happen naturally through just playing? Out of curiosity, which violinists inspired you growing up, and to whom do you like to listen to nowadays?
Remember the three variables: pressure, speed and contact point. I'm not saying it's easy, but if you remember them as you advance, you're tone will not be such a big deal.
Yes is very agreeably beautiful. I thank you both for being great musicians, and refined art performers, that take pleasure in sharing with others your gift.
Thank you so much Augustin I really really enjoyed watching you play with such passion and sensitivity too...... this is really really outstanding and beautiful too. What a stunning piece of music 🎶 I absolutely adore 🥰 it, and you really really played this with amazing skill and passion too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
