Fantastisch gespielt, unglaublich nuanciert, sehr variabel im Tempo, technisch absolut perfekt und ein Ton wie Kreisler oder Oistrach!!

[@meredithopat6530]

My daughter is a rising violinst and we had the opportunity to see you play Mendelssohn at Bass Hall in Fort Worth. It was incredible. She is working on this piece now. Your rendition is just stunning. Your passion is just mesmerizing!

[@pluutoop]

You are lucky

I clicked on the Mix- Augustin Hadelich plays... and said to myself just one more video before I go do what I need to do and found myself listening to yet one more.

Same haha. I’m sitting in my parked car right now finishing this before I go in.

[@nadialynsaraza7142]

He plays piano and violin excellently!! Awesome! I always love to see him play the violin. I love his interpretation of the pieces. I always get teary eyes every time I watch his performances. Oh how I wish I can watch him live.

[@brigakrikau2022]

Lieber Augustin, ich übe das gerade, bin fortgeschrittene Laie. Warum machst Du nicht auch auf Deutsch Deine ASK Hadelich Beiträge? Ich find Dich unglaublich gut, Du bist der Beste.Gefühlvoll und perfekt. Komme extra Deinetwegen am 17.11. nach Hannover. Erbitte Autogramm❤

After so many student performances of this piece, I feel as though I’ve finally heard it. Thanks as always!

[@dmcvegan1963]

WOW! Magnificent playing and interpretation of this work! Kreisler himself never recorded it--and now you've filled the gap so beautifully!

[@TheMotogp2011]

One of the most beautiful interpretations of this piece. A great violinist!!

[@ViolinHobby]

This is the "BEST" performance! that I've ever heard of Kreisler's Praeludium and Allegro(another one of my favorite pieces.) This "SUPERNOVA" of a performance is created by listening to my favorite super-star violinist Hadelich playing my favorite piece by the super-star composer! It was so exciting to listen to; I was getting goosebumps....tempo contrast and sound are PERFECT!

[@stefmantokyo08]

Whenever I hear your play, I want to do something.. want to run with all my might… drink espresso… miss whiskey, or dance like crazy. Your music delivers a lot to the listeners. I respect you.

[@herbertkronzucker8367]

Outstanding! Henryk Szeryng also used to play this magnificently, so this falls into a very fine tradition indeed. Your love affair with second position and reach-backs, the assuredness and strength of your fourth-finger placement and vibrations (contrary to the claim made on Ray's stream!), and your flawless bow control are used to thrilling and seamless effect here. A fantastic rendition of a wonderful piece that too often sounds like a student exercise. Every time I drop into your channel, another positive surprise awaits. What an instrumentalist, what an artist. Thanks for sharing so much with us, Augustin.

I was listening to several interpretations of this wonderful piece. I have not played it in years and I'm feeling inspired to get it out again. I knew I wanted to hear you play this one. You are fast becoming my most favorite violinist!

You are awesome augustin, not only as a musician but as a person. We have been able to see another side of you with all the videos you have made recently. An example of discipline, hard work and most of all, humanity and kindness, I really admire and respect what you do. One question, have you considered doing live streams? The one one you made with Ray chen was great, we learnt from you two and it was also very fun to watch.

[@ChadPeiper]

I can't stop listening to it! Each time, I discover gems of musical genius and technical prowess. When you hear performances like this, you just enjoy the brilliance and say: Thank you Augustin.

[@nickcarroll8565]

Maestro, i wish i could play this with the same poignancy that you do. Sublime.

[@LucaWine]

I have never heard a recording of Kreisler playing this. It would have been nice to hear an interpretation by the composer himself. In any case, this interpretation is my favorite in terms of tempo, phrasing, accents, and clarity. Too many violinists think they have to play this as fast as possible, especially at the mini-cadenza near the end of the piece. There is a melody in there and Hadelich knows how to bring it out.

[@nickyork8901]

Joshua Bell has also done a wonderful album of Kreisler, heavily influenced in style by his teacher, Josef Gingold.

[@Mal-sg2du]

I love this so much. I have come here for like a thousand times 😭

[@vishnuramankutty717]

What an amazing performance! One aspect I loved was how in the cadenza you really took the time to build the tension with your phrasing in the violin and the dynamics of the tremolo roll in the piano. Bravo!

[@jacobzarosa]

I cannot express how grateful I am for this video! I finally thought to analyze a pro for fingerings, bow placement, etc. and I realized how much more difficult I had been making my life than it needed to be (Especially eliminating some double string crossings that had been tripping me up, and playing some phrases too close to the tip, which was causing some strain in my shoulder). Luckily, I have time to implement these changes before my college audition next week. Thank you Mr. Hadelich!

[@user-wr3xi5gi9z]

You’re my idol💖

[@johnolsen611]

Dear beloved child of God in whom I am well pleased, As a lifelong violinist and minister of the Gospel of Grace , I am emotionally stirred by your more excellent than superb performance of the Kreisler Preludium and Allegro. I read many comments and am able to see that the same effect your special concentration time on recording and interacting with us all is having with me, also, is occurring with the others leaving comments. All the greatest music specific comments about your technique, interpretation, famous passage executions and suchlike, have pretty much been mentioned by all the wonderful musicians. But what I want to share is not a for sure or factually known at this point in time belief I have concerning you as a marvelous person set aside from the many marvelous musical accomplishments in your life. I speak now in faith of what my soul hears from God about you and only you. While it is true that I can not separate you from your inseparably joined union with music that has infiltrated your every cell, spiritually the greater being of the two, being you the beloved child of God has in my overall mind of deep thought, become almost set apart from what I see and hear. Emerging is a special creation God has made so that the world may see his image though an occurrence we experience as a result of the culmination of your work, and the impression it has left. I believe in faith, and respect to the unknown specific faiths exercised by you and all listeners that there is a supernatural presence God has made to be seen equally to us all. That presence for me is called “love”. If I may call you friend, brother, I want you to know that I can see unknown extreme times of pain and traumatic situations that you have endured and are now rising above with strengthened dignity and identity you have always deserved but never truly believed. Today I against in faith, see a man with brave character and an equally kind and sensitive heart and soul which shares the Gospel of love- without using words. This is what I see stirred in every life you touch. You have become the kind of man everyone desires to know more intimately. Your doing so has taken residence inside you as an act of attraction and not of persuasion. Thank you for making the choice to remain here in a difficult world and to make music which through the spiritual life you give off, creates a little more love for us all to press on. Much affectionate love, John Olsen Palm Beach, FL USA
