1:19 this sonata feels like mom giving warm embraces to her baby

[@ludovicofurlani665]

0:00 Allegro amabile 8:24 Andante tranquillo (9:38 Vivace) (10:36 Andante) (12:22 Vivace di più) (13:15 Andante) (14:18 Vivace) 14:34 Allegretto grazioso (quasi Andante)

[@nickyork8901]

Yet another definitive interpretation from Mr Hadelich, but it was the pianist that really grabbed me by the ears, how amazing the two together.

[@ggill716]

No one plays the “song” as well as Augustin. I learn just by listening to his performances (all of them).

[@48fredman]

His magical finger vibrato touched my ears and heart

[@winrx]

What a treat listening to those wonderful sounds emanating from the 1744 LeDuc Guarneri Del Gesu on this lovely Sunday morning in NYC.......

[@amandabarajas2363]

Reminiscent of golden-brimmed fields in silver skies. This sonata is nothing short of a gorgeous piece!

[@ViolinHobby]

The warmth that comes from this most beautiful violin playing and interpretation will melt any cold heart! Too lovely to put into words!

[@nickyork8901]

And don't forget the magnificent piano playing, really, really beautiful musicianship.

[@sirlalo94OSUG]

Just what I love from a great piano collaborator: full-stick, yet never overpowering. Bravi tutti!!!

[@sonyasviolin]

What a beautiful performance of this piece. You and your pianist really knocked it out the park.

[@mihaiviolist]

Thank you, Augustin. I'm very picky when it comes to Brahms because I usually hear musicians playing very instrumental, and I am looking for the vocal way of a very big breath. You offer this and I'm so happy that I can hear this sonata played this beautiful.

[@ludovicofurlani665]

Beautiful sonata and great performance! In love with your bow control...

[@NatalyaAlbertti]

I always loved the David Oistrach and Richter's interpretation of this Sonata, but this one is breathtaking and so pristine!

[@esrathe-first9316]

I was meant to be asleep an hour and a half ago, but i just can't. One of, if not the greatest violinist I have ever had the pleasure of listening too. The journey that I have been taken on through his beautiful playing is incredible.

[@andrewroberts8139]

Unmatchable in terms of style, musicality and presentation

[@MaryMDunn1]

Such a beautiful gift to the world. Thank you both!

[@erikanaka8655]

Beautiful music, perfectly executed. Thanks.

[@allthumbs3792]

Delicious! This sonata beautiful combines the rich power of Brahms with his exquisite tenderness. Hadelich and Weiss are a spectacular duo! I do hope you’ll be recording your collaborations.

[@madsining]

You both are the best!!

[@herbertkronzucker8367]

Such balm during difficult times. A coalescence of the best of the human spirit. Thank you for this pure display of art, the most compelling achievement of our species.

[@michaelmoreskine9677]

Captivating from the opening bars, amazing music-making through and through...

[@haydenboyd7753]

Beautiful. So inspirational

[@bianchiviolin]

In your hands it sounds as though the double stopping at the end lies under the fingers. I wish it did. Congratulations to both of you, a wonderful video.

[@marxismisevil839]

When I listen to this music, it feels like a wonderful dream of times long past with gentlemen wearing straw hats, ladies wearing wide brimmed hats and long dresses, and wicker picnic baskets.

[@johnryskamp2943]

And then fucking in the bushes. Those naughty Viennese!

Thank you so much Augustin, I really really enjoyed watching you playing this with such amazing passion and sensitivity too, and I can only agree with the comment below too. It is too beautiful for words. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@billace90]

Maravillosa interpretación. A la verdad que Hadelich posee una técnica insuperable y un tono deslumbrante y cautivador. Eso, al unirlo al instrumento Guarneri de 1744, el resultado es pura magia auditiva.

[@yawenliu6648]

This was played at the last live concert I attended before the whole COVID-19 thing last March. I got a wait-list ticket to hear them at NYC’s Townhall. This was my favorite piece out of the whole program, it also got so many senior audiences to stand up to cheer and applause for it. What a lovely afternoon that was! Thank you for sharing so I can re-live that concert:)

[@TheTucsonJeff]

Thanks Augustin! Happy to see your new environment of people and new places!! Really enjoyed this performance!!!

[@mrsmompf6222]

Real musicians, a rarity today...the tone of the violin sings and speaks to the human heart...

[@aragornthebrave]

I soooo want to play violin like him!

[@memorosales1952]

the man has a great tone

[@billace90]

Yes, indeed. And that’s an understatement! 😊

[@alanleoneldavid1787]

YASSSSSSS LOVE THIS SONATA

@@dianal.1279 Thank you! Means a lot ✊👊

[@cerenaseawell5753]

Augustin, you are a genius

[@garfreed]

The Meistersinger sonata !!

[@heymambo]

Oh, so romantisch!🥰😘

[@motiv4412]

Beautiful playing!! And Orion, your hair?? (Santa Barbara 💪, Veil, Rochester Phil 😉)

[@sea-amthompson1669]

How!!!? 1:21 Amazing

[@jeroenvanderkruijf5029]

In Holland Herman Krebbers told us not to vibrate with one vinger but but to put a second vinger beside the other one ,for me that was always a problem,therefore I like to see how nice you can vibrate with just one vinger on the vingerboard and it sounds great,by the way still the strange fourth button on the pianists sleeve all the best

[@guillermorochabrun3456]

"Vinger", or "finger"? Perhaps as a dutchman you associate the sound "f" with the letter "v".

[@shupingwang3392]

Wow. That was quite something.

[@elenasavina7117]

Волшебно

[@katarinaenright5404]

Does that mean beautiful in Russian

[@lpiele]

@@katarinaenright5404 I think more like "magically."

[@RosaGrau2014]

I want that violin.

[@nihilistlemon1995]

Any future project of recording all the sonatas ? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

[@teresinhacristovao390]

Obrigado por existir amo ver e ouvir vc e f

[@teresinhacristovao390]

Vc é fantástico 😙😙😙

[@johnryskamp2943]

Note how the second movement begins like a violin and pianoforte sonata by Mozart.

[@transforminggravity15626]

[@vidaaltoe6319]

2:28 development of first movement

[@jeroenvanderkruijf5029]

By the way your violin sounds different less deep did you put new strings on it or something with the sound engineer?

[@alanknights2779]

Hi The Vivace in the second movement is so much like the theme to Fawlty towers by Dennis miller Wilson. He died in 1989, I think someone should phone up Johannes Brahms for him to alter it as he is infringing copyright. Adam Beanstock.

[@stevecreswell9962]

Brahms avonculaire brosse l’air pendant rayons barbus de tigres poésie crient. Et ainsi une sonate, est née.

[@elerik7520]

Non plus ultra violinist!

[@SarumChoirmaster]

I would greatly desire to study with you.

[@mikas2934]

The real question is who wouldnt!

Настоящее признание в ЛЮБВИ❤ ДА, РОЯЛЬ СОЗДАН ДЛЯ СКРИПКИ, А ОНА ДЛЯ РОЯЛЯ. ВОЛШЕБНЫЙ ДУЭТ, СЛОВ НЕ ХВАТАЕТ! БРАВО ВАМ! БРАВО БРАМС!❤

[@johnherote]

bravo! but piano should be louder in the recording as its not just meant as decent accompainement for wonderfull melodies, but full of thematic work and interaction.

[@Labbozzaretrii58]

Vero!

[@carloalberto1108]

Beautiful execution, you are great! Too bad the constant resonance in the microphones, a great instrument rich in sound and harmonics. It disappears in the last movement, I dare.

[@nickdick2]

I also find that acoustic too resonant especially for Brahms. All these glasses backward don't help, imho… Very beautiful the interpretation…

[@davehshs651]

Not sure what you mean by "constant resonance in the microphones." Can you clarify? To me, the sound is fairly good, coming through decent small speakers.

[@johnryskamp2943]

Each is almost as loud as the other, so they are getting to the essence of Brahms' chamber music: no instrument should ever be louder or softer than any other. Given all the baggage associated with chamber music, it is very difficult to consistently obey this law.

[@channoong]

슬프고 아름답다..숭고하다..

[@avarmadillo]

What an excellent performance, on both parts. Not a fan of the camera work, sad to say.

[@andresrozsa637]

Play #3, it is far better musically than #1 or 2.

[@susanhunterguise]

Beautifully played! Thank you!
