Sehr schön! Was für ein großartiges und seltsames Meisterwerk diese Sonate doch ist - Sphärenmusik, frei im Raum strömend und doch so präzise wie ein schweizer Uhrwerk, dann ein Blues, mit Elementen der Wedgwood-Teekanne aus L'enfant et les sortileges und schliesslich die Vorwegnahme der Minimal Music. Hervorragend verstanden und musiziert von beiden! Wirklich toll!

The way both Hadelich and Weiss focus on the entire sound and their mutual interpretation is astonishing. They are a true musical partnership. Thank you!

[@bianchiviolin]

Ho this is good. This is a kinky and very lovely sonata particularly to play. This team are exceptional.

[@mbradley5683]

Kinky lmao I love it I never thought I’d see this in a violin sonata comment section but I think it’s the perfect word here 😅

[@peterbaxter8151]

Hadelich, Weiss, Ravel. A veritable United Nations playing this exquisite piece that seems very different from other pieces by Ravel given its American flavour. Brilliantly played.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Augustin and your pianist too. That was absolutely amazing and stunning and really really unusual and unique too. I really really enjoyed it. You both played with such passion and sensitivity and incredible and amazing talent. I really really love ❤️ it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Wizardry Guys! I really missed meeting you in music. After Brahms sonata and other works....Hooray!

[@manuelteixeira2496]

I wonder, who is the other violinist that can play at this performance's level. It's astonishing for me, realy. It's an absurd rich synchronized perfection. It's a God's gift! I consider myself a lay man regarding violin thecnic, but this is a wonderful piece, to enjoy. Thank you all, very much, indeed!

Midori played this yesterday in Honolulu... not sure how they play like this 😂

Bravo, bravo, and bravo again. Truly on the highest level attainable and thanks for not wearing masks.

[@justusschroeder5814]

Ich kann hier nur dasselbe sagen wie auf Facebook Ich habe in meinem Leben das Glück gehabt sehr viel großartige Musik hören zu dürfen. Das übertrifft aber Alles!!!! Ich wusste eben wirklich nicht ob ich noch auf dieser Erde bin …….. So dicht und trotzdem fliegt, tanzt ……….alles? Einfach überirdisch. Danke ☺️🌈🎶🎶🎶🍀

I appreciate Hadelich so much, but for my taste this Ravel is here too much “romantic”, too much intense, too much “vibrato”... The neoclassical aura of the Sonata is lost. Also I notice a bad EQ in this recording: piano's low frequencies are enormous! (Sound Engineer is too much “romantic" too!) [EDIT: Second mov. is FANTASTIC, and the pianist makes a miracle with the “fake” glissando at 13:37 ]

[@achilles231]

Interesting comment. The performance is more Gospel than Blues to my ear. No ironic distance. Hadelich is an astonishing violinist, but he tends to smooth out the style of every work I’ve heard him play. In fairness, he’s not alone in that.

[@Tom-nv2jb]

How does he play the "fake" gliss?

[@thomasfost2643]

Magnifique violon ! Bravo Augustin 👍👍👍

[@colleenmurphy7812]

Hadelich and Ravel= a perfect pairing.

[@mscir]

Classical Jazz.

[@lerlerma8832]

the first movement was spellbinding, so refreshing and cleansing to listen to… the violin melody sounded like a song! love the humour in the second movement, and the perpetual passion in the third

[@damoonchaghomy]

You can not imagine how excited when i see your new videos

[@vincentdecorse8353]

Une parfaite symbiose des deux musiciens, bravo

[@joycedelrosario2218]

Hadelich is really Amazing!!! Thanks for uploading this. 8:15 okay I'm time stamping Ravel Blues here because it's my favorite part to listen to

[@MusicScouter198]

Hadelich has a prodigious instinct in the way he complements with whomever he's playing (be it with another soloist or an orchestra.) I felt that the pianist tried to stand out too much at points, but Hadelich adjusted so intuitively that even discordant chords sounded musical and harmonious. The dynamics are so balanced.
