God, those last octaves are insane

[@francoisrodewald9868]

I wonder what Szeryng would have thought of his Leduc being played like that :D I think he‘d like that

[@romeovashishthviolin9384]

From what one of my teachers who studied w szeryng said szeryng was a very open minded guy and he could see that Augustin was making good music. Even me as an anti pop or anything classical person, I quite enjoy this.

[@violabalog1349]

Fantastisch

[@stepaushi]

@@romeovashishthviolin9384 Haha, I'm one of those snobs, too. But this playing is amazingly good.

[@hallowelt2673]

Es lohnt sich, das Stück bis zum Ende zu hören!

[@ViolinHobby]

I did not believe a Jazz violin legend can be made overnight; but "NOW I DO!" You play it like you've been a Jazz violinist your entire life. Great duet... SOOTHING... It has a wonderful calming effect on me.

[@OudPlayerHBY]

A Jazz violinist would never play the exact same notes than in the original recording. Grapelli himself never played the exact same solo live for minor swing Jazz violin legend cannot be made overnight to become one you should come up with the stuff yourself on the spot and not from a sheet music.

[@nasfrink1991]

There is more to you than meets the eye. You continue to suprise me every time with your level of control and musicality. Hope to meet you one day

[@GregDurrett]

Okay, now I’ve seen everything. Augustin channeling Grappelli on a Guarneri. This has to be some kind of bingo :) Lovely rendition by you both!

[@othmanhassanmajid8192]

Brings back super memories of Wilfred Jones jamming in Tasmania in the early 70s. Here's to you😊... Hadelich is wonderful❤😊

[@jahintx]

Now this is a treat!

[@MakGuitar]

Thanks :)

[@andymelendez9757]

I love the video concept. Django is a hard one to emulate. All those slides and tremolo picking things. Augustin seems to always shine

[@maiteflores7876]

Wooow!!! Mr. Hadelich!!!!😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@harrilmullany2786]

I enjoy the new generation of classical musicians who show great integrity & respect for all genres of music. Historically, most legit players always seemed to approach popular 20th century styles condescendingly as if they were ‘slumming’ it in order to play non-classical stuff. Hadelich’s feeling, love & artistry in every style he presents is truly heart warming. Thank you maestro!

[@decone4839]

I agree!

[@antoniolallai364]

Amazing great !!!

[@nickyork8901]

Is there nothing this guy cannot do, great fun. You got my wife s(w)inging along. She commented that guitarist looks very focused and cool!!

[@billsabiadrums]

Nice! I like Gypsy jazz violin playing. As well as classical.👍

[@pinsk94]

Amazing!!! You don’t hear/see classical violinists with this type of feel. Greatness!!!

[@peterkoman1901]

This is more than awesome, more than perfect. Full of authentic emotions. And that sound..

[@chiiko7090]

I did not expect this from a classical musician esp. From my fav. Artist! this is so amazing 💗

[@ericstorhow3513]

I could hear Grappely and Django. I loved it!!

[@displaychicken]

Yes!!!! You are such a natural with Jazz! So many classical musicians can’t improvise. You are the man!

[@TheTucsonJeff]

It appears that it's an arrangement by Grappelli. But he sure did make it sound improvisational!!!

[@cristianegomes1671]

This collab made my day! ❤️

[@berndf7437]

Das ist richtig großartig und schön❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@claraartnow6645]

Ooh, I remember that song in a movie! Chocolat! 😁☕

[@BradfordCRichards]

Wow! That is the best Grapelli I've ever heard, after Grapelli, of course. Awesome collaboration! Please make an album together. This is the first thing I want to play for my friends when they can come over for some wine.

[@margrietsnellen]

Love it when the great musicians I adore also play other styles than just classical. I always think it is proof of being a true musician. And thnx for the introduction to Mak Grgic, what a wonderful guitarist!

[@larasatisetyoningrum]

Love how contrast your gestures are 😂 While Mak seems so stoic with his deadpan face, Augustin looks so playful and perky. Btw, love the vest too, Augustin! Been watching it a lot for a couple of days. It brightens my days. Thank you so very much, both of you. 🌺 🌺 _(:3」z)_

[@TurmoilDot]

Lovely & merry piece! Thank you for sharing it! 💕

[@jimmybamber4378]

Wow

[@songsabai3794]

Many Classical violinist who I've heard playing Gypsy jazz or even fiddle music at way too stiff and square in their articulation. Hadelich is by far the exception with a nice rounded swing feel,great job! Hope to hear more outside the classical domain.

[@kristinaspajic1753]

Great! 🎶

[@pickartviolin]

Bravo Maestro!

[@tsecphk]

You both are simply amazing!

[@nickdubya1215]

Love it! Maybe I missed it, but it would be great to have a video about how playing more swinging music has affected you're technique and phrasing across your repertoire. And if you prefer different bows or instruments for such.

[@JustFiddler]
