Behind the album: Hilary Hahn talks about Eugène Ysaÿe - Sonata No. 6 

Hilary Hahn, I simply love your playing, career and musicality! Thank you so much for treating the Music with so much love and passion it deserves. You're a legend! S2

Love these short (nutshell) videos. (Don't burn out! ❤)

I've been watching this channel for almost a decade and half. Thanks for sharing and educating!

I am not a violinist, I am a fiddle player. The difference between you and I are, "When I play there is weeping and gnashing of teeth", when you play there is such a positive energy that just brightens up every listeners day. You are such a blessing to every string player! Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoy how to make me feel so comfortable when you come into my living room and explain your art. You’re a wonderful lady. Absolutely love you❤️

You have inspired me so much! I’m a 13 year old “musician” and in the past couple of years from finding you (and two set 🤷‍♀️) I have improved so much listing to what you have to say. It’s been a dream to hear you play! (P.S you should definitely play with the R.P.O (Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra 😋)

Thanks for sharing Thanks for broadening your audience’s understanding Thanks for showing what your talking about Thanks for BEING YOU with us 😊

What a beautiful perspective on these pieces, thank you, Hilary!

Thank you Hilary for the blissful and meaningful hours listening to you perform. I started off with you playing in Detroit and it was stupendous. May God bless you richly with good health and joy. CJ

I love these recordings and I love the way she talks about music. She sends me down the violin rabbit hole. And that's a good thing.

Dear Ms. Hahn. You are magnificent. I’ll try and keep this short. I’m a lifelong semi pro musician. About 6 years ago I was going through a life crisis and turned to Beethoven. I was so amazed and awed to read about the triumph and tragedy of his life and how that intertwined with his music. I was not a huge fan of so called classical music before only loving certain compositions but I became one through his portal. I would slowly read Mr. Swafford’s biography and then listen to recordings of the music. I came across your interpretation of the violin concerto with the Detroit symphony on RU-vid and (with a Heifietz version) listened to it over and over again. I would imagine the great Maestro composing the music, hearing it played (he was supposed to be a terrible violinist, right? 😂😂😂) for the first time in Vienna and then him being in the audience for your performance. The power of it often brought me to tears. Your playing is so commanding, but also tender and sweet which is just what I needed. Beethoven saved me and you were with him! BTW, I lived up the street from the Peabody Institute when I was in law school and now I think of you and LVB whenever I’m in the neighborhood. 🎉😊😊😊 Thank you thank you thank you a trillion times over!

Thank u soooooo much Hilary!! Pls come to Melbourne ❤

Hello Mrs. Hahn, Thank you for sharing these videos and your performances with us! I enjoy listening to your performances and it serves as a huge inspiration to do my best and master the violin! Thank you once more for all you do! Take care! 😊 -K10

Thank you very much for all these fantastic videos about the Ysaye sonatas, and also, above all, for your absolutely incredible, stupendous recording of these sonatas. For several decades already, I have been fascinated by these sonatas which seem to expand the violin, musically, to the dimensions of a piano, an organ, or even a full orchestra. They make the impossible happen. But very few are the violinists who are up to this challenge. In my opinion, it is perhaps in a way the ultimate challenge for the interpreter, because, yes, these sonatas are extremely difficult pieces, but not showpieces with scarce musical content; they are pieces of the highest musical value. And to be able to play them technically perfectly and to express at the same time all the richness of their musical content is bordering the impossible. But your recording of these sonatas fully demonstrates that this is indeed nonetheless possible... at least for you ! Once more, thank you very much for this recording and these videos !

ow eloquently Hilary jumps into and out of these small snippets! Such clean and free sound.

C'est un plaisir de vous écouter, au fil des années, autant comme personne, pleine de simplicité et d'ouverture, que comme l'immense instrumentiste et artiste que vous êtes. Tous les meilleurs voeux de bonheur et d'accomplissement, de la part d'un amateur de musique 🎶 et de sincérité 💐

Hey hilary. I hope you do more videos like this you ARE my favorite artist/violinist by far ❤

Hilary - Thank you for increasing our understanding of this complex music. What you are doing is history making. Taking the time to teach us your insights shows us your degree of dedication to us so that we can better understand your hard won knowledge. Now we can appreciate what we hear at a much more meaningful level of insight. You will be appreciated for generations to come.

Hilary...thank you so much for your passion, knowledge, talent, and being such a delightful teacher. You are a master.

We love you since your first Bach album, when you were a teenager. You have matured as a woman, as a violinist and as a musician as a whole.

Thank you for playing for us. Your a God on the violin 💕

Thanks so much for sharing!

Love those little chuckles when she describes those technical challenges. 😂

Your pinky finger movement is just so amazing.

You're amazing. I wish everyone would do this for each of their albums/songs and really stay on topic like this. Come back to MN! =D

wow so cool always fun

EDUCATIVE! NOT ONLY EXPLANATIONS, BUT FULL WITH FEELINGS AS ILUSTRATION OF THE ANALYSIS! UNIQUE AS EVERYTHING HILARY DO!

Hello Hilary. I just watched you on an Australian tv show called Australian Story. They did a story on TwoSetViolin where you were talking about your participation with the comedy games on Violin. I hope we see more of these games with TSV and you, and more serious performances with them too. It's so enjoyable seeing you and TSV performing together. The rapport between the three of you is a delight to see. 😊

Дорогая Hilary, мы люди простые и языками не владеем - мы просто любим скрипку и классику...мы не доктора, но за Вами наблюдаем и всегда только восторгаемся Вашим чудесным трактовкам...у Вас есть свой узнаваемый звук - вот главное...СПб, Tatyana, Rafael.

I look up to you so much Hilary your The one who told me to play violin ❤❤❤

Hilary Hahn is an absolute sensation. Incredibly talented. wonderful. How she remembers every single note is.beyond me .I particularly love Mendelssohn's violin concerto!!!

love love love videos like this omg

Dear Ms Hahn! My daughter who has tickets to Bravo! Vail Music Festival on Wednesday, July 17, 2024 regrets to hear about the change in soloist. We wish you a speedy recovery!

Sounds enjoyable. I'll purchase her record.

Hello, thank you for this nice video, especially about technical advice! Can you please give a bit advice about vibrato? That would be so great! I find learning vibrato really challenging

I love your creative expression

Please come to Florida for a concert.

Happy Birthday 🎂

Life: a full circle. Nos damos cuenta de ello justo cuando se empieza a cerrar. ❤

when will you visit germany the next time ? my wife and i look forward to it. maybe we will be able to listen to you live😇🤘

Happyy birthday hilaryyy hahnn 🥳💓

In a world overflowing with excellent violinists, your artistry and sound are still my ideal. Used to think Heifetz, but nah! 😊

happy birthday 🎉

You mentioned here that your teacher studied with Ysaye, and I could be remembering wrong but I think you and my violin teacher both studied under the same teacher at some point! I might ask at my next lesson just to make sure though, but it would be super interesting to see!

Hilary Hahn , quelles cordes utilisez vous ?! =)

Hahn,i love u❤❤❤

I posted re Bach E major Concerto: Hilary, you're a great artist and I love you. But I think I could show you a thing or two on this one. I play it every other day busking. On violin and viola :-) For one, an harmonic on that long high E is not a bad idea. It can be effectful, I think.

Je t'aime aussi.

Deusa do violino

You are great, i know in twosetsviolin

所以为什么西安站被取消了😭

I love Hilary Hahn's violin playing. I listen to it every day. I have aphasia, which makes communication through words difficult for me. You might not know about aphasia, but Bruce Willis has it too. Even though I lack words, Hilary Hahn's violin deeply moves my heart. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TGJblOJTwrc.html

Weehoo!

actual robot of a human being... i would never want to get this good at violin if it means being remotely like you.

Summer Concert and Toy Rings, or Costume Ring? Summer 2024. $300 to get on stage? Better idea?

Goddess!

It's funny I've got enough logs but I want more logs

Ling-ling approves of your 40 hrs per day of practice.
