Augustin Hadelich & Orion Weiss play Debussy Sonata for violin and piano

[@filipqo89]

Is it just me, or everytime i watch new recording of augustin im amazed how much progress he has done, unbelieveable talent

[@noisyjulianne]

I feel the same! I'm absolutely entranced.

[@ChadPeiper]

Augustin is the "Mozart" of violin performance today. Technique - check. Sound quality - check. Musicality - second to none. Honestly, its Hilary Hahn and Augustin Hadelich for me.

[@Ciaccona255]

But they are totally different

[@performancerecordings]

Something I really love about this is how evenly both violinist and pianist are showcased. All of the other recordings feature the violinist as if they were the soloist which is not the case. It’s a sonata for violin AND piano. Bravo.

[@davidmaria08]

I've listened 30 seconds and I'm already amazed

[@lottaart7848]

same

[@elizabethf8078]

I know.. right?? I can't listen to anyone else anymore. Nobody matches his technique and emotion.

[@senseofwonder4734]

@@elizabethf8078 its unbelievable. Its is so true. Hard to listen to anyone else now!! Im ruined ,lol.

[@alanleoneldavid1787]

This guy It's like a combination btw Vengerov and Hillary Hahn

[@ViolinHobby]

I'm already amazed before I started to listen. I became even more amazed as I listen to the greatest violin virtuoso of our time, playing the most amazing Debussy piece ever composed. Heavenly! :-)

[@catherinehamer5653]

Magical.....pure French/Russian ballet

[@miguelmichaelides5935]

Oh my god...imagine if only Debussy could listen to this performance...mesmerizing!!

[@catherinehamer5653]

Augustin defies gravity with his aerial tightrope walker up bow technique......pure magic!

[@mortlieb8239]

I have been a fan and aficionado of Debussy's music since I was a teen and to this very day he's my favorite composer of all time. I just discovered this piece for the very first time, his final composition, and it's incredible to see how his art developed throughout his life. This one seems less "impressionistic" (a term he hated) than what preceded it and at times seems to be paving the way toward the more avant garde music that the 20th century would bring. The piano part is so different than his other piano-only compositions, it's almost like discovering Debussy for the first time all over again! Great performance!!!

[@fgorlando]

The timbre and phrasing were absolute perfection!! Impeccable performance! Thank you so much for sharing

[@meraldlag4336]

KZbin sacrilegiously recommended this hours later :( what a performance

[@avramwilliams2103]

5:39 How many years of practice is this? My mind is being powderized by the thought. The magnificent control is beyond what I have seen thus far! Of course the rest is astounding, but this is what I saw. Glad I am here to take part of the steady growth of such a wonderful violinist, though I have no criticisms to give

[@LittleCatBead]

This is the most beautiful interpretation of this piece I’ve ever heard. I’m crying.

[@weizheng9893]

Augustin's music is beyond perfect skills. It often expresses rich sentiments that touch my soul. It is sometimes not a good choice for background music since it catches more of my attention than other music while I work, but I just can't help it. Love the sheer beauty of his expressiveness.

[@stradguy1740]

Fantastic playing by both Augustin & Orion..

[@constanzaprado8778]

Today august 22nd is Debussy s birthday! How beautiful you both play his sublime colors

[@clearbrookprogram5924]

Among the greats! I can understand and appreciate this sonata better through the collaboration of these distinguished artists.

[@amandabarajas2363]

There are some pieces that just pulse with familiar emotion and nostalgia; Debussy's sonata is definitely one of them. There's so many colors and textures to this piece, and Mr. Hadelich construes them beautifully.

[@denizmelis1316]

Bravo! Augustin, thank you so much for your vision of every piece, you're incredible musician! It's always pleasure to receive notifications of new videos on your channel! Looking forward to the next video ❤️

I didn't really listened to sonatas, that is until I saw one of Augustin's videos! They both sound amazing together

[@DareDevil0748]

This is the first time I listen to this piece, but definitely not the last, I will put this on repeat. Great performance, great piece, amazing artists.

[@Fretfeeler]

Ohh you guys get it!!! This is so far the best version I have heard of my favorite piece.

[@Fretfeeler]

This is Masterful. ★★★★★

[@monikarosca1513]

You guys are just great, we couldnt even guess how difficult this piece is to play, and you guys make it seem so easy and understandable, thank you for sharing your talents with us!bravissimo! God bless!

I am so happy to have found your performances! They are the closest thing to perfection in music i have ever heard. I am a musician, went to the Cleveland Institute of music,but work as a nurse.

[@tobygoldstein6201]

A master of every genre

[@MrInterestingthings]

YOu mostly have famous players who are famous because their personalities are so big -even though you hear better performances from other artists not as well known . Hadelich is huge : his performances , his musicality , the take he gives us and the perfection of his playing . Vision and perfect playing are rare ! Heifetz had style , a perfect sound!!! (its a bow thing not just fingers!! , a way of doing things so perfect to see him on film you know it's a once in many generations thing . Not Oistrakh,Kogan,Stern,Niveu Szigeti etc.they all had some of that .Stern is a hard working man .His force is the American counterpart of Oistrakh they work hard and force themselves to DO THE MOST and be completely engaged . Hagelich made me reevaluate my experience of this music . Once again !

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Signora Rizzotti, How fortunate you are to have known Augustin Hadelich and his family since he was born. What a wonderful neighbor to have had! We envy the fact that you were able to listen to his playing from the time he was a child and can readily believe that, as you say, you always thought he was good.

He's definitely one of the top maybe 10 fiddlers out there working today on the concertizing circuit. I don't know why everyone oohs and aahs over Hillary Hahn, her playing is so boring - clean, but boring. But Augustin? No. Never boring. He makes music in addition to playing cleanly.

[@Ciaccona255]

I heard Hilary play some time ago because people where telling me about her and I will just say it was underwhelming to say at least.

[@peterbaxter8151]

I really like Hillary as well. The two players are very different in style. I don’t think her interpretations are worse or better than Augustin. Just very different. The recording quality is also much more direct with Augustin.

[@ancillarizzotti580]

perché Amazing? su chiama Augustin Haedelicu

[@jaschenski]

LOL, I thought the pianist was doing a Glenn Gould and would start muttering while playing as well as playing from memory - then realised he had an iPad! Excellent interpretation of such an elusive piece.

[@matsao1313]

When Orion Weiss was playing at the virtual Seattle Chamber Music Society's Summer Festival, he often looked like he was talking to himself. I didn't care because he played so beautifully in all the pieces he was part of - including this work. with violinist Benjamin Beilman. Augustin was in the Festival, but they didn't play together. I thought and hoped that they would do so someday as Weiss is an amazing ensemble performer.

[@wendyshell8679]

MA Tsao I noticed what he did with his mouth, too! It was as if he was silently singing each note as he played. It struck me as his really being absorbed in the music. Loved it!❤️
