G. F. Händel / Johan Halvorsen: Passacaglia Augustin Hadelich, violin Efe Baltacıgil, cello Socially distanced performance in April 2020 during Covid19 hiatus
Dear Mr. Hadelich and dear Mr Baltacigil, Your performance ist really wonderful, extremely well played and very soulful connecting passages full of delicacy, tenderness, ligt, joy and passion. I appreciate your tremendous musicianship. Thank you so much for sharing and stay healthy.
Magical, thank you ! I feel sorry, that you dont see the tears and the air of amazement in the eyes of your public. What a marvellous performance as well as a technical tour de force. Fun fact, the RU-vid view counter turns only once even if you listen 15 times. I cannot stop listening and watching. Anyone else find this performance mesmerising?

Augustin, you are fast making your way into my heart. Your playing is is not TRYING to pop. It just *exists* in a timeless state as if mocking the modern violin race. Also - having just worked with 6 other musicians on a corona-distanced recording myself - you both did a tremendous job sounding coherent. BRAVI!
I've never heard the variation 5:46 done this way before! It was so incredibly exciting!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo and thank you for always reminding me and many other classical musicians that the possibilities are endless!
I just don’t think there’s anything out there more thrilling than when this guy picks up his violin...... It is nice to hear this duet with all the interplay. Incredible how they manage to blend given the distance between them.
Hadelich is one of the best all time. What I love is unlike some other legends he seems to retain the great attitude and curiousity and passion, he takes risks and puts out a lot of novel pieces, explores new things like American folk, and is playing with solo arrangements for multi-instrumental pieces. He's laying down benchmark recordings and moving the instrument forward at the same time. And he's everywhere. Man does he work hard.
Wow, this is absolutely incredible! The musicianship and expression are wonderful, and I appreciate you sharing in the middle of all this craziness! The first time I ever heard this piece played was by my violin professor and the cello professor at my college, and at the pizzicato (the last one, at 1:29), she broke her E string! She was back on stage in two minutes, and they went from the top-and it was amazing!
This is a dream, it's so beautiful... I tried to play the first variation during confinement but i'm not on that level yet sadly so I'll just listen to this endlessly!
