Hello Eddy / Harry Potter

*all* rip

[@fernandezfredzex5865]

Epico

[@janicecondit2404]

Augustin and Ray, Please expand your program on showing how you once played a passage, and after you matured all these wonderful observations occurred to you as you matured and listened. The back and forth conversations were very valuable to me [a lapsed cellist].. I think non-instrumental persons would also understand the refinements you were suggesting and take heart. I would definitely subscribe to a program that featured the back & forth conversations such as those which you [ Augustin & Ray] had. It was like going to a Casals Masterclass in the late 50s & sitting in the audience , soaking everything up. We are trying to do similar programs for our Seattle Chamber Music Festival audience this July without putting the health of our musicians , audience, staff and fans at risk. Keep going on this track !!!

The subtle differences in style and technique add a huge amount to the experience, and so appropriate for the Chaconne. What a lovely idea and so beautifully realised.

[@mattwoolford6305]

Exactly. ..no one musician will ever be the same and that adds beauty to this performance. 👏👏👏❤

[@abirdthatflew]

@@mattwoolford6305 For sure, every musician will have his/her own view on this masterpiece. All are welcome.

[@williamkauffman5745]

there is a reason the Chaconne is so famous, there is no other music like this

[@sneddypie]

the reason is because its so f*ckin hard

[@San-lh8us]

i don't know what you mean by "like this" but there are plenty music in classical music that are not only as famous but as good as this chaconne :D

[@srinitaaigaura]

It's a profound work. You can play it in a hundred different ways and it always sounds epic in any style. It gives the player tremendous artistic freedom, but it's also fantastically difficult to pull off those arpeggios and chords cleanly even with a baroque model bow.

[@thierryperrenoud1460]

True... so full of meaning...😀

[@mscir]

@@San-lh8us Post a few titles/links? This is my favorite classical piece.

[@fgorlando]

Augustin, the way you just caress those double and triple stops the second time you play is absolutely mind-blowing. Completely tender... no tension and bow placement is flawless!

[@Ishsa]

My favorite moment in the piece by far! I was so happy to hear it in that way

[@robergarcia11]

Right? I was hearing in the background and had to look to see who it was

[@arwenwyatt8205]

Agreed. It's absolutely exquisite and brilliant

[@cecitramont]

That was really beautiful and amazing!

[@esnrp]

It just isn't right! Now I can't listen to Chaconne anymore!!! The moment I heard that part, I immediately stopped the video and started searching for his Chaconne performance. I don't know why but it seems it does not exist! Please let me know if you can find it. I am searching for almost a week now...

[@lupefer]

omg Julia Fisher last note is so breathtaking

[@JacquesLuu]

6:58 when the major came back after the storm, it's such a soothing, calm and comforting feeling

[@nhuquynhnguyenbui3676]

Hadelich's paces make my heart dropped (in a good way tho), his tunes are so emotional

[@Deniscorjon74]

First I want to extend my congratulations to all 14 artists for this remarkable performance. By doing so you show to the world that music is this irreplaceable link between all nationalities. Second I draw a few consequences from your performances : Bach can be played in many different ways, speeds, bowings and fingerings. At the end, what matters beyond the individual interpretations, is the emotion perceived by each auditor. Listening to all of you I couldn‘t help thinking about Nathan Milstein, who would have certainly been delighted to play with all of you. Again many thanks. Denis

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

I was thinking about Nestor Eidler. Best Bach of all time!

[@ericnilsson4847]

I just now stumbled across this extraordinary collaborative recording of the Chaconne. I agree wholeheartedly with your post. If a person is depressed about the state of the world, this recording is the perfect antidote.

[@KW-my4hz]

All the violinists are isolated but yet connected through music. Chaconne is fitting to describe our current journey right now.

[@moonlitplanet904]

idk about you guys but this Chaconne genuinely moved me to tears.

[@davidhunt7519]

Yup. Eyes are damp here too.

[@mirabel_lv6869]

I want to listen the whole Chaconne, performed by Augustin Hadelich

[@mscir]

Several of them could sell a performance of this piece. I would buy one. IDK why they aren't recording and selling, this is the most beautiful and moving piece of classical music I've ever heard.

[@ILikeBirds]

@@mscir I know Hilary Hahn has a recording of this in her very first Bach album but I don’t know about the other violinists

[@jpmcft3194]

@@ILikeBirds Julia Fischer has also recorded Chaconne in one of her “Bach” albums. For me, the tempo of Hilary Hahn’s Chaconne is too slow.

[@virginiegirardon6449]

[@Poreckylife]

@@virginiegirardon6449 I would like to see it tho. I saw a KZbin video where he performs it live in NY and I can't find it anymore 😭

[@ansgariusalbion5201]

James Ehnes is here. My favorite violinist of this time.

[@theblackdeath4398]

I really respect Fischer's and Hadelich's use of a baroque bow

[@janmaartenzimmermann2443]

Vadim Gluzman also used it.

[@erykkulawski]

Renaud also

[@katarinaenright5404]

Serious dedication right there

[@irene_mena]

Gluzman also has baroque bow

[@datdang9113]

I heard that baroque bow is easier to play Bach music than modern bows

[@luizcarvalhoneto6636]

As an amateur violinist I was delighted to listen to Bach’s masterpiece played by so many fantastic musicians. Brilliant compilation!

[@nickyork8901]

Same here, quite amazing and very uplifting.

[@AMOREDELFINO]

violinists without borders - violinists in one prayer for a united world, you are wonderfull ! with gratitude, michael wiener, switzerland

[@thoyo]

Julia and Augustin, I've never heard such smooth and beautiful playing from Baroque bows!

[@violbert]

What a great project! What a great interpretation! Playing a solo with 14 friends is the best comment to 'social distancing' and you wish to hear them live on stage at least. Thank you Julia, thank you Augustin for the idea and the realisation!

[@thierryperrenoud1460]

I couldn't say it as well as you, but in my heart I participate😀

[@ubkwerhe5469]

this chaconne is bible of violinists. the most perfect solo violin piece ever composed.

[@Poreckylife]

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@johnalexander301]

JAMES Ehnes needs a wide camera angle. We need to see your beautiful bowing.

[@worksasintended4997]

This video should be shown to every student attempting to learn this piece. I never learned so much about a piece and its different characters in just 15 minutes, and considering I already heard this hundreds of time and play it myself too (if of course not on any comparable level to here) makes it even more amazing.

[@herbertkronzucker8367]

What an awesome concept, around one of the greatest pieces ever written. This truly does unite, across the world's living rooms and solitary practice rooms. No virus can ever destroy the power of music!

[@kelseylacour1517]

I could watch James Ehnes play all. day. long. Gorgeous!

[@ViolinHobby]

Violin Virtuosos "JAM" session!! Awesome idea of Augustin... I loved the tempo changes, some-how very naturally and wonderfully; simply stunning. Augustin and Julia used their Baroque bows...

[@fgorlando]

Violin Hobby so was Lisa Batiashvili 😁

[@ViolinHobby]

@@fgorlando Nice...I missed it.

[@Ishsa]

fgorlando no she wasn’t, that’s a French bow

Hadalich, thanks for giving us the opportunity to hear all these brilliant violinists, it is a real gift !!!

[@josepriberavanyo5185]

I LOVE THIS IDEA. Cooperation ¡¡ Sharing knowledge ¡¡ Not competitiveness ... Well done ¡¡ Alle Menschen werden Brüder I hope the lyrics of Schiller and Beethoven 9 Symphony become real in the world some day ¡¡

[@thierryperrenoud1460]

Yes it's really wonderful!!!

[@JasielMartini]

I love this piece and all of these violinists are very accomplished, but I have to say that few people play Bach like James Ehnes. Hadelich is a generational talent and I love his playing, but Ehnes really brings out the best of what I appreciate in Bach.

[@mattwoolford6305]

So many wonderful violinists playing favourite Bach piece. This brings all emotions to oneself. I decided long ago when I pass this is the music I wish to be played at my funeral. ..the entire piece....not what they desire. ...it's my passing and a gift from Bach to them. Is that reasonable? 🎻

[@ivyssauro123]

Wow at Gluzman's deep tone and Lisa's quick fingers!!

[@ViolinDeNoche]

Love this... the highlight for me was Augustin's second appearance playing the hymn variation

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Excellent! Johann Sebastian Bach's Chaconne is a musical miracle. As I heard these brilliant violinists treating each passage, various beautiful passages caught my ears. As Brahms said, the fact that Bach even conceived of such a work in the first place leaves me amazed time and time again. Many thanks to Augustin Hadelich and all the violinists here.

[@josephhuang2630]

It,s intersting and enjoyable to listen to so many top gun violinists playing such masterpiece.

I knew Hadelich would start the major section. It's the kind of tender passion he can bring out of the violin. Anything else would have been a disappointment

[@pantheraleo645]

[@laure4305]

It's amazing! i love the different sorts of interpretation, so different and all so correct. Thank you to Miss Fischer and to Mister Augustin Hadelich.

[@asisqueezylovediary6474]

Noone plays it ecatly bc different intubation and feel but same piece and amazing waw

[@cornel999]

this is beyond cool. thank you to all who participated. for some reason, this reminds me of the story of Wieniawski collapsing during a concert, and Joachim, who was in the audience, went on stage and played the Chaconne for his friend.

[@sjsj-rk8jw]

Thank you!!!

[@BradfordCRichards]

Awesome. Directly quoting Bach, "Sei Solo," which literally means "You're alone."

[@alessandrovaccari782]

Hi. "Sei" in italian has two meanings. One is the second person of the verb to be. The pronoun often is implied in italian. But "sei" also means number six. "Solo" is alone as You correctly said. So in this case Sei solo means "Six pieces to be played alone". Enunciating your solitary condition, concerned to a musical situation, does not have a proper conformity (also because Bach would never say, directly to You, that You're alone!)

[@hallie904]

So beautiful!!

[@nicolasbernalmontana]

Thanks Augustin! :))
