Augustin and Hilary will always hold a special place in my heart. They were violinists that made me really feel and love the richness of classical music in general.

Augustin saved me with his playing of Bach. I will forever be grateful 🙏

@dehanbadenhorst1398 2 месяца назад

Handelich seems to put the most thought into phrasing, he has a micro phrase on every note in a legato passage, but still keeps the larger 4 or 8 bar phrasing clear. So special

I’ve followed Augustin’s playing since he won the Indianapolis competition in 2006 - I was still a kid back then trying to follow my dreams and bewildered that a human could play so angelically like Augustin.

@exion7458 2 месяца назад

Augustin Hadelich is my favorite violinist atm, and I’m going to see him play Brahms this year on April 20th. I watch the exact concerto you watched, every other day at least. I love it so much. Thank you for showing Augustin’s interpretation in this video :)

@gaminpup0867 2 месяца назад

I feel the same, he is my favorite violinist too, I love his musicality. It's one of the best in the world in my opinion. Funny enough, I am seeing him the 20th of April too. I'm so excited and i'm glad to see this review so I can really understand it.

Man Oistrakh's version still feels the most glorious and energetic and it moves you...I don't know what is different about him but I feel it's not only about his sound it's about his look too , his face and his body shout "I know what i'm doing" and feels so confident as you said

Thanks for this video, Augustin is my favourite violinist so I was very curious what you would say about his interpretation. I'm not a musician but I'm always willing to listen to professional explanations, it's very interesting.

@mtheinvincible4156 2 месяца назад

I didn't think Oistrakh could be topped, He's the ultimate blend of technical mastery married to passionate emotion that tops interpretation in a Romantic like Brahms, but I think, (from what you show here) Janine Jansen has nearly done it! Thanks so much for showcasing this for us.

@jacc88888 Месяц назад

Agree. A little disappointed more people didn’t comment on his playing. So much emotion in his playing and so powerful too. Maybe people were put off by the old recording and the fact that he’s not around anymore.

@SmianiexD 2 месяца назад

I find it so interesting that you often don't like Hilary Hahn's interpretation very much, becuase you both are THE violinists I love and you are so different 😄

@ASmyk-mo3ob 2 месяца назад

What do you mean? Who said he doesn't like it? Hilary has a very unique style of playing. They are ALL equally great violinists. He probably chooses her to show how big the difference can be.

@BabulaRef 2 месяца назад

cuz shes overhyped

@ASmyk-mo3ob 2 месяца назад

I am curious. Explain why you think that? Personally many times she isn't one of my first choices, but she puts very interesting ideas on the table. Some recrodings are incredibly enriching. Also show me another violinist who recorded the craziest Ginastera violin concerto. I think she desvere her popularity because she plays differently from anoyne else. @@BabulaRef

This is such a beautiful piece, the second violin concerto I had ever heard. I had only heard Hilary Hahn and Itzhak Perlman renditions. I usually listen to Itzhak's rendition. It amazes me how much musicians have to think about with technique, phrasing, and giving a piece their own touch, etc.

I'm really enjoying this series! The details you've captured are important for people (like me) who are learning this piece. Maybe next time when choosing a comparative version you could consider the region they are in? Their interpretive styles are very different from each other, and I think it has to do with the school of thought to which they belong. BTW I love Jansen❤

I love his powerful style that becomes so sweet in lyrical parts but being “present” as before. But, of course, we are talking about hight level professional musicians, so all great!👏😍
