I honestly believe the audience couldn’t help to clap between the move. 1 and 2. They are germans, people who have world-class orchestras in each and every small towns. Of course they know the basic etiquette better than the best of us. He is really, really that good.

Augustin is one the one of the most incredible violinists in history ! he reaches the spirit in your soul. i think he would be one on one with S. . this orchestra is amazing - blending so beautifully with his tone. i do hope he returns to New York - i so so want to hear him again. he’s a beautiful young man 🎻🌹🌱

Unbelievable bow control. Command of the stage. Crisp and clear left hand. Really impressive....

THE GREATEST VIOLINIST OF THIS AGE!!!!!! Coming from a retired professional concert violist.

❤❤❤ THANK YOU MAESTRO ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That bow control is a show in and of itself

Everything he does is perfect. What a superb cadenza, written and played.

So good. What I love about Augustin is that he doesn't make things overly dramatic just to show off, instead he plays in a way that works best for the music, even if it's less showy.

I love the cadenza! 🥺🥺😍😍👏👏

An exquisite concert. Hadelich deserves all the accolades he gets but the orchestra is wonderful. The oboe is beautifully played and provides the support the soloist needs for the beautiful passages he delivers. This is a collaboration of so many musicians, their teachers, the countless instrument makers, all the technical support and let us not forget dear old Brahms.

Augustin....I bow to your bow!

I have heard of this, jumping in to the concerto as if one had charisma. But I have not witnessed it until now. Thank God he has the musical skills to perform the concerto the way he prefers. Unquestionably the solo artist first in appearanceon the stage.

His own cadenza is pleasing, beautiful. Big, booming sounds on the del Gesu's G and D strings. Just a lovely performance by Augustin and orchestra. This is how Brahms should be played!

I always admire any oboist who can really pull off the solo at the start of the adagio, and this one definitely can- very beautiful playing.

His cadenza was perfect with this concerto.❤️

He is a majestic violinist. It has full control of the technique. He has an incredible gift for playing in accordance with the phrases of the orchestra with astonishing precision, I think it is easy for orchestras to play with him, an incredible concert style as I have not seen other violinists including Vengerov. Absolute genius

I loved his playing before, but I think this violin especially suits him. Wonderful!

Augustin is a magnificent violinist; his soul is the soul of a violin. Plus, the magical collaboration with a truly excellent conductor and great orchestra!

Meiner Meinung nach die beste Aufnahme von diesem unfassbar schönen Violinkonzert!

Heard Hadelich play amazing performance of Brahms in Strasbourg the other day. Every note beautiful and focussed. Even in arpeggios each note clear and projected above full orchestral accompaniment. Fantastic musicianship, gorgeous sound, impeccable intonation, communication to the audience of the beauty of this piece.

Augustin… you’re worth your weight in gold! Keep up the hard work… kindness and willingness to help other musicians 😊

I love this soloist

Einer der besten jüngeren Geiger der Gegenwart. Außerdem ein ausgezeichneter Lehrer. Es gibt auch Unterrichtsvideos von Hadelich. Auf Englisch. Ich freue mich jedes Mal, wenn ich ihn höre.

Maestro Agustin Hadelich is out of this world.

All those empty seats!!! Who wouldn’t be elevated and transfixed by this sublime performance, this artist and composer and the Guarneri?

OMG what was Amazing. Best performance of this peice I heard in years.

Fantastic playing and nothing more to add than many have already said. Beautiful sound, never pressed and musically very focus, never too much nor too little. I've heard many violinist who use this concert to break the violin in half and make every possible rallentando even more exaggerated. This guy plays dramatic and yet elegant, pure sound without forcing and yet a big sound too. Bravissimo!

Thank you so much for coming to Sydney to play this with the SSO last night. Stupendous!

Mr. Hadelich is absolutely an extraordinary violinist of our time. Great leading Konzertmeister, and WDR Symphonie Orchester is one of the best of course 🇩🇪 Bravi Tutti! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That cadenza !!! Jaw-dropping.

Just loving his cadenza...listened to his previous recording with Strad many times, and now this with Leduc. This is an early recording with Leduc for him, and more recent recordings resemble human voices giving me goose bumps sometimes! It was such a privilege to listen to him play Brahms in Australia this year.

Hadelich is the definition of mastered virtuosity. Brahms is weeping with joy! I hope to find this performance on CD.

It's hard to believe just how good this is. Jaw dropping is an understatement.

That first movement is LOOOONG, opens like Cannon fire!

Bravo WDR, your videos of concerts are the best. Orchestra, conductors, guest artists and director of the video. Bravissimo!

Ich habe dieses wunderbare Konzert sehr genossen! Ein BRAVO an alle Musikerinnen und Musiker und an den Dirigenten - UND an den wunderbaren Solisten - eine vorzügliche Interpretation !!

A brilliant violinist and an amazing Brahms concerto, a magnificent mix!

Une superbe cadence qui résume toute l'œuvre ! Et qui change de celle de Joachim, reprise par tous.

👽 Delicacy and purity across the Universe. God Bless

Măcelaru’s face at 15:30 expresses exactly how I feel, too (while listening).

absolute control in every passage! unbelivable!

Voici un concerto interprété brillamment. C'est un réel plaisir que de l'écouter. Bravo à Mr Hadelich et à l'orchestre

What a joy to listen this great musician!! And the orchestra sounds very good. Great work if team here

I had the pleasure of watching him perform the Brahms with the Colorado Symphony. A most sublime moment in my musical life.

Outstanding! I love how Hadelich controlled his bowing, and played his own cadenza. How he phrased the passages and dynamics were incredible. The orchestra did excellent work, building up the tension and created unbelievably beautiful harmonies. They sounded almost so shimmery to me, and I live for it. Brava!

That intonation is pristine! Wish I could play like that...

Superrrrrrr...bravo auguisten haderlich.

I love this concert so much! Wonderful interpretation 💖💖

We saw this young man play this last night in Bradford (UK) with the Halle orchestra in a less than half full hall. One of the most wonderful performances I have ever seen, simply masterful in every way. Thanks Augustine, only wish you could have performed to an audience you deserve.

Such a great player, just total mastery of his instrument. That oboist is damn good too, that solo is not easy!

I love how the concertmaster moves ten times more than anyone else.

Great!Perfect violin for perfect player!

The best

Wonderful. A most delightful performance by Mr. Hadelich. Thank you very much for uploading. :-)

Cudownie śpiewają te skrzypce w tych dłoniach. :)

Joachim cadenza is amazing.. But this one... Is just better!! In my taste and propably to many others.. Love him and his absolutely stunning and brilliant technique. ❤ And the Violin... Thank you for this amazing upload!🙏

Fantastic power, amazing thrilling performance!!! Magical playing from orchestra and violinist and great conducting.Thank you for sharing.

Impeccable Outstanding Performance!!

Absolutely the most unique and exciting interpretation of the cadenza I've heard. Blows Kremer and Mutter out of the water

Thank you Augustin for sharing your music ❣️ Also big hands to the orchestra! Everything compliments one another. ❣️

Splendid! With Szeryng's Le Duc, great depth of tone. Yet with an agile bowing hand, and of course a great orchestra.

Señor Hadelich! Es usted una eminencia de violinista! Mis respetos! Su habilidad, su espíritu, su música! Su violín son una de las cosas más bellas que he escuchado en mi vida! Lo sigo en en internet, que manera de tocar la cuerda! Usted si que sabe como estirar la mente!

Another great Augustin performance. This time I want to mention concertmaster, did an explendid job here

Will witness him playing this work in person on April 20th in Cincinnati USA.

Straordinario talento ,ricorda i grandissimi virtuosi del passato ,fraseggio raffinatissimo con tecnica pulitissima, secondo me uno dei piu' bei suoni in prima corda della storia.

Höre diesen Violinisten zum ersten Mal, der uns mit einer so beseelten Interpretation beschenkt!

That orchestra is AWESOME! It sounds like it and he have been performing together for years. The timing, pacing, and clarity of the passages were done well. There were musical moments between the soloist and the orchestra that I've never heard in other live performances. Real treat.

The audience was so appreciative and in awe of the transcendent beauty that they wanted to applaud each movement. Bravissimo!

la plus belle interprétation depuis Christian Ferras-entente harmonieuse avec l'orchestre

Maravilloso Hadelich ,, un virtuoso fuera de serie...la mejor interpretación de este concierto de Brahms...

Bravissimo!!!!!

Immenso💖 Augustin👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 meraviglioso💝 uno dei piu grandi che abbia mai ascoltato

Augustin!! BRAVISSIMO !!!

آرامبخش و دلنشین،بسیارلذت بردم،سپاس.

I love this version the best! It makes me feel more alive

Fantastic interpretation thank you

There has not been such an advanced tonalist since Henyrk Szeryng! Absolutely super playing!

Este vioninita es de los que más me han gustado es genio y siempre con las mejores orquestas.

Beautiful technique. Beautiful player. Wow!

d'une beauté d'excellence,admiration profonde

Maravilhosa interpretação! Obrigado! Bravíssimo!

Barletta Francesco Roma. Grande veramente grande. Hadelich con il suo violino fa quello che vuole, la padronanza delle sue dita sulle corde dello strumento mi ricorda L' immenso Oistrakh. Un Brahms così intenso, così vivo era tanto che non lo ascoltavo. Grazie grazie mille è sublime e meraviglioso, ancora grazie 😊😊😊😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍💐💐💐

Brahms is most difficult as far as structural complexity; easily get lost but Hadelich handled it nicely. Wonderful orchestra and recording too.

Hadelich is a beautiful player in his own right. I admire his dedication to play music even after this accident. I somehow feel it did make him the better and integral to his musical character. It is a kind of pure warmth and sincerity in the music? Any case a great virtuoso.

Excellent performance!!!

Hadelich! So beautiful ❤️

Wowowow! Soooo in tune. So just perfect.

I liked this concerto from the first listen, but it continues to grow on me. Brahms was a harmonic structural master of the highest degree. It takes time for us non-super geniuses to understand him.

GROSSARTIG !!!! VIELEN DANK!! ☺️

That cadenza kicks you know what!

독일계 미국인 바이올리니스트 아우구스틴 하델리치 사랑합니다~😊💜🫂🎁🦋

BRAVO!

Отлично! Как хорошо он играет на скрипке 👌🏻🎶

Uno dei miei Violinisti preferiti... Bravissimo!!!!

Absolutely Amazing performance! Everyone!

Geigenspiel in Vollendung, frei von jeder Solisteneitelkeit, ganz aufgehend im Dienst am Werk...dass man so etwas heutzutage noch erleben darf!

Masterful Hadelich🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️
