Augustin Hadelich plays Wieniawski Scherzo-Tarantelle

Wieniawski - Scherzo-Tarantelle Op. 16
Augustin Hadelich, violin and piano
Recorded at home in May 2020 during Covid19 hiatus.

[@LS-ct2jo]

He is even able to accompany HIMSELF on the piano... Like dude

Julia Fischer also performs concerts for piano and others for violin

LoL good idea

ha lol

[@jsun4violin]

😂

[@nickcarroll8565]

Milstein always shook the hand of his page turner. Hadelich should too 😁

[@picksalot1]

I love how Augustin manages to put the perfect amount of vibrato on the last note of each phrase of the theme. It makes all the difference.

[@Poreckylife]

Absolutely

[@alexsaldarriaga8318]

Just like Heifetz set a new standard of violin playing for the 20th century, Hadelich has set a new standard for the 21st century. This rendition of the Scherzo Tarantella is one for the ages!

[@stepaushi]

It's certainly not a new standard. Violinist have reached such skill and perfection. Hadelich is absolutely amazing, but there sure have been others like him.

[@aasserelzoghby6781]

95th like I am a like Fisher

[@MattB90]

@@stepaushi yeah i dont know why, in the classical music world, we cant appreciate and love without going to extreme hyperbole...and I love Hadelich!

[@marcvilleneuve1889]

When ever Heifetz is mentioned, for some individuals, the comparative is always sacrilege. Heifetz was a phenomenal violinist, outstanding, but when it comes to classical masterpieces, great music, he is not the best. Because even in a Mozart concerto, his style and virtuosity are an outrage. His Brahms or Beethoven display horrible and unsuited cadenzas. His rendition of Bach musically speaking his nonsense. But still, of course, Heifetz is great. Here Hadelich really gives an outstanding rendition of Scherzo Tarantella. Very expressive, as valuable as the young Menuhin rendition or any Heifetz takes...

[@lindamanas954]

I think Augustin is better than Heifetz. Both brilliant of course but Augustin’s intonation is better in my opinion.

[@TwoSetPlaylists]

Fabulous! These Augustin² recordings as well as the Ask Augustin masterclasses are the highlights of my quarantine time.

[@Poreckylife]

I do the same

[@JG-td3qw]

So clean and pure. The violin is an extension of his body.

[@Adrian_AdamViolonDiGerma-tm3nq]

The violin is him, unseparateble

[@mf9551]

His technique and decisiveness of each motion reminds me of Leonid Kogan. Indeed the top 1 percentile of the greatest violinists of this century! Julliard's pride!

[@alhfgsp]

I'd say the top tenth of a percent!

[@nickcarroll8565]

He’s my favorite of his generation for sure.

[@nickyork8901]

Every cloud has a silver lining, and discovering Mr Hadelich's recordings during lockdown is one example. He is giving Julia Fischer a serious run for her money as a pianist too.

[@Inu0729]

This pieces always reminds me that Japanese prodigy girl that 2 set reviewed. Even though this recording is a totally different level.

[@adamdonahue2079]

I don’t know. Augustin’s certainly was very clear just in the torrent of crazy notes and thoughtful in its phrasing, and it was generally very clean, which certainly is appealing. That girl just had some elements that made this piece so much more Romantically beautiful in other ways.

[@fitzdarragh]

Check out Antal Zalai’s version, it’s one of the best I’ve heard. Augustin’s is great as well tho

[@altoclef6688]

I am listening to this as a comparison to her (Natsuho Murata), coming from Heifetz. I prefer Hadelich over Heifetz. Murata isn't a great master yet, it would be ridiculous to expect, but actually she makes the most of the passage with the harmonics of these three! Now I will go on to Vengerov. I will not be surprised if Murata will be my favourite in 15-20 years or so....

[@nickcarroll8565]

As I get older, the more i appreciate different interpretations. When I was younger I’d always have a bias for the first interpretation of a piece that I heard that I liked. Now it’s like a different story teller telling the same story. There’s something new I can enjoy.

[@fgorlando]

One of the only good things about this quarantine... we are able to watch a living legend record videos that will undoubtedly always be benchmark performances. Wow

[@shayaknandi3838]

This recording is one of a kind! You're incredible!

[@merylman727]

Augustin, it is truly a delight to listen to your music. Your extreme attention to detail and passion manifests in every note that you play. You’re my inspiration!💓💓💓

[@SheDreadsElectionYears]

HANDS DOWN, this is the BEST recording of this piece on KZbin. That he accompanied himself is making my brain explode. Thank you! What kind of beautiful world do we live in where we get to hear this incredible music even during a pandemic.

[@rudyalvarez551]

What an amazing musician. The only criticism is that he makes the piece look easy to perform. In reality, there are only a handful of musicians in the world that can play at this level. This is extraordinary and amazing. Bravo!

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa9718]

And also he makes me lose self esteem

[@minh-khanguyen7209]

Anyone who goes through college for violin performance could easily perform this piece. It’s a showpiece - flashy, and difficult, but nowhere near impossibly so. The piece falls remarkably naturally under the fingers.

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa9718]

@@minh-khanguyen7209 the piece itself is possible, but that level of interpretation is not really

[@TheTucsonJeff]

OMG!!!! Again, incredulous performance!!!! Augustin, thank you soooooo much for these priceless masterpiece uploads!!

[@BradfordCRichards]

Love the accelerandos, love the intensity of the arrivals on the open G and D, love the sonorities way up G and D, love the singing suspensions high on the E. What better way to discover what a good Del Gesu can do? I don't know how you can get it to speak so fast. Magnificent!

[@ramram4754]

Yes I wonder what bow he uses.

[@justusvm355]

Could you please explain what a suspension is?

[@leahm.4834]

@@justusvm355 typically a suspension in music theory would be a tone carrying over from one chord to the next, included in the first chord but not belonging in the second (confusing? Sorry)... example: C chord with C, E, G, as chord tones is played, then the E from the C chord is held or carried through to the next chord, I.E. a G chord, (chord tones G, B, D), therefore, E would not belong in the G chord but would be suspended from the previous C chord. In this person's comment, I'm not sure what they meant precisely, but this is the music theory definition (albeit written quite confusingly I apologize 😂)

[@lindamanas954]

Intonation is absolutely perfect!

[@naiagp6952]

Excellent, as always! You are such a great musician!

[@matsao1313]

Augustin, since you and Julia Fisher are both fluent on piano and violin, could you please consider maybe doing some pieces together? All permutations and combinations of those instruments, including pieces for 4 hands or 2 pianos, and violin duos?
