Hilary Hahn Interviews a Betta

[@fernandofariajunior]

LOL, she's so adorable. Maybe she should add subtitles, for those of us who don't speak Fish :-)

[@lynnccm1442]

No wonder she gets along so well with TwoSet Violin! I love it.

[@oweeoh7895]

I don't know why this exists but I am so glad it does.

[@marytlt]

i was laughing so hard when i saw this, hilary is so sweet

[@nonduality1]

this is absolutely absurd and i love it

[@johnsacley4848]

i love that this is her actual channel

[@SamTahbou]

Imagine the number of times Hilary has had to sit through these, in a way this is likely her form of satire.

[@philipsmog]

this is fucking hilarious especially after a long pause "that must have been a culture shock!"

[@TheGoodwolfe]

An amazing talent, and a lovely sense of humor too! Now I adore her even more!

[@Erowens98]

There is something oddly comforting about this. It actually made me feel less anxious about everything. I wish i was a betta.

[@tekphnx]

I am a betta and I approve this message.

[@crikycrocky]

Nicely done Hillary! Must have had so many interviews that were just like this...

[@RavencoreLZR]

I’m having an existential crisis after having watched this.

[@felixzadori]

That's a good way to answer those asking her "how is it to be one of the greatest violinists alive?".

[@josephochlak6853]

I once had a betta that would come to the top of the fish tank and let me pet it.

[@ebunnypma]

"We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about..."

[@rogersmr5]

HA! I just watched this again and I can't stop laughing every time the betta swims into view! Thanks for the laugh, Hilary!

[@JlK-k3x]

Was it chlorinated- This cracked me up so hard

[@allstarmark12345]

the video should be "violin shark interviews betta fish and then eats it"

[@lorditachijr]

Haha very funny Hilary! I really appreciate your videos so much.

[@kyoungd]

Monthy Python worthy skit. :-)

[@ezrabach]

I already saw Hilary talk in French and German, but I never imagine I would see her talking to a fish... I wish it had subtitles so I could understand the fish! haha

[@James-tc6nv]

Awesome :-) I watched you perform in Vara, Sweden maybe five years ago, but I was too shy to approach you when you were signing records.

[@hudon1973]

This shouldn't be as funny as it is! One wonders what Heifetz would have to say. It's so good to see someone take the starch out of the old classical music stereotypes. Thanks Hilary!

[@actunesblog]

I always suspected Hilary could look good doing anything. Now I know for sure.

[@stravinskyrocks]

That was the first Siamese fighting fish you ever interviewed? Not bad. The more you do it, the betta you will get.

[@ilducedimas]

I was at that concert in Paris later that day... It was mind-blowing, really glad I discovered Edgar Meyer thanks to you. You ware breathtaking in that ravishing dress... Thanks a lot

[@ZacharyNeumann]

She's talking to a fish...we musicians are so weird. Hilary Hahn is the coolest violinist ever.

[@rogersmr5]

I've talked to many bettas in my day, but this has to be one of the smartest fish ever. The only thing my betta ever said to me was, "don't make me into fish sticks!"

[@seanbeeson3853]

So long and thanks for all the fish :) You should do more interviews like this

[@guerrero4982]

Never thought I'd come across this in the morning 💀

[@CaitlinEileenRose]

Hahaha omg Hillary... was it comfortable? was it chlorinated? I LOL'd.

[@鈴さん三毛猫の]

The sweet cheerful aura of Hilary reminds me of Disney princesses.

[@tubbie0075]

Musicians gotta have great imaginations... like interviewing a fish and imagining the fish answering. LOL

[@dsebbebridge2674]

This is sad and hilarius at the same time

[@alexwasserman4983]

Your Tchaik in Atlanta tonight was stunning

[@sevencircles1638]

Most people here in Sweden would assume that she had drugs when recorded this but she was just in her tired and goofy mood ;)

[@kyoungd]

Hahaha. Do you have advice for people who wants to be fish? Classic.

[@aotearoa74]

Very entertaining interview Hilary :)

[@emilyrln]

This video… 😂 It is a gift.

[@marytlt]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH i can stop laughing :D i love her

[@cowprophet]

I think about this interview often.

[@billsabiadrums]

Only she could pull this off with grace and humor.

[@bobp0303]

You're wonderfully silly!

[@ohfreundeforever]

I get lonely too sometimes...

[@musicalgroupC]

that's hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good one - internet,orange-juice,email guy!!! HAHAHA JK!!!

[@roberteckert]

Hilary is so wonderful and playful. Not to mention the greatest musician alive.

[@emdeeeff]

I wish you'd asked more musical questions. Like, does he enjoy Handel's Water Music? What's his opinion of Heinrich Gill violin cases? Also, I hear he used to play the trumpet; did he ever need to use the spit valve?

[@tatianabermanofficial]

Love it!!

[@dryeyestrain]

ROFL. Charming and hilarious.

[@katyrosy]

Hahaha Hilary you are my favorite!

[@Naturalmente-Curioso]

jajaja pero que surrealista que es esto...jejej muy bueno me gustó...=)

[@JJJOOOGGGIII]

hey Hilary, is it your Channel? you play´s the violine wonderful, and your humor is also (sorry for my english but Iam a german) nice GREATINGS jürgen

[@GhildedGharden]

Thanks for this intelligent and informative exchange with one of our more feisty aqueous cousins. Perhaps next time you could interview a painted turtle or, even better, a tadpole. And, be sure to tell Dr. Doolittle I said "Hello".

[@chantalbernard2]

Oh and one day - if possible - I would and I am sure others would love to have a recording of you playing Der Erlkoenig....Cheers!

[@Eric0728]

This makes me sad. I hope with the break from touring she's not so isolated/moving around a lot and that she gets to spend time/goof around with her family. I might be wrong about the implications behind the video, but to me her mental health and happiness is more important than her art.

[@CaballusKnight]

After listening to your performance of Paganini, Caprice 24, every day when I go to work and back home, for more than a year, now that I see you are a normal person, a real person... Well, I have a message for the betta fish: You don't need to say anything, dear fish, I love you just because you do exist.

[@boomer4666]

wow Hilary. thank you loloL!

[@mcfriz123]

the crazy side of hilary hahn!

[@pianoviolinandwhat]

omg she's seriously.....sweet...

[@kaikobird]

hahahaha i love this!

[@stephanieyeshuaislife7236]

ha ha, this is great.

[@semperwifi1]

@ezrabach This would be even more amusing if she ad libbed a language on the spot to the fish. And mimed the fish's answers. With subtitles of course.

[@youtubister]

Hilary, you are a scream

[@SeagullTheFreegull]

thaaank yooouuuu

[@wgj7gec]

I knew that Hilary Hahn had magical powers.....first the perfect violin skills....now talking to fish?! I wonder if she can fly too....

[@magrinelli]

You're so cute Hilary!

[@theclarionhall4755]

We should get a sequel interview with another beta fish 🐟

[@fleecetheflock5926]

I identify as a fish

[@SenatorT1]

I believe Hilary is making an important comment on her own self-imposed tranposition. My daring, brilliant, bright blue fighting fish who has chosen and accoutred her own magical bowl in which to shine just as she would have it.

[@yorkieslover]

lol

[@maje8ty]

I think trading fours with the fish would be fun! :)

[@bobfazio469]

♥

[@emdeeeff]

@lambicframbroise Well, he had a few good answers, but sometimes it seems like he was just sitting there going "bloop, bloop". Sigh. On the upside, at least his bouyant personality shone through.

[@Giarola77]

She got sense of humor.....or she is just stoned......I love both possibilities anyway......jajajaj

[@TheFrancescaViolin]

What a cutie pie :)

[@chantalbernard2]

Ha, ha! I love your sense of humor....you are really the child of Dr. Doolittle. You can talk to the animals....kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6GlgZSseqmEec0

[@sevencircles1638]

Is she drunk or high? She is one of the greatest violinists in the world but this is just wierd

[@a3ro172]

Advice for people wanting to be fish: JUST KEEP SWIMMING!!

[@Civ33]

well, just goes to show that if ur the top dawg u can be as wierd or crazy as u want.

[@099mahler]

I wonder which side is the fish...

[@brandonskelton]

I love you.

[@ModernRitual]

This is why you shouldnt practice violin for over 7 hours a day... Great video though xD

[@mateusbelloni]

É muito linda!

[@linek.]

hahaha ;*

[@hudon1973]

Hilary-ous Hahn

[@theurge14]

You really should let the fish get a word in, sheesh.

[@yangyang2000]

Hilary, you need to get out more...see you in Houston!

[@davidjgburnett]

Hilary you are copletely bonkers, but in the nicest possible way!

[@bobfazio469]

how much of what just for a wiff a yr howe?? ♥♥

[@bobfazio469]

Maybe she's a Catskills Mountain girl? r not? - Saint Luke's Catholic Empire .... well yup; then Yair yup ♥

[@kris_pang]

[@polarrrbear]

Perhaps it is swimming in the sea of fish treats now. Hopefully Glenn Gould isn't making the betta interview him, with whole script and everything.

[@dlgrim0621]

This is very,very interesting SugarPlumFairy.10,550 people know I call U SugarPlumFairy-I hope they Know Tchaikovsky.Then I wonder If U have seen this?(the thingsIwrite-not Elf) The Elf sends Me some nice music.She is dubed the energizer bunny.Acts-KarateBLKBLT-wrote a novel-sings-plays piano&goes to school.Oh for that energy.The most comments back awhile was about practicing singing&guitar playing.Funny-nopracticedntwanahearanyway.Now person from Africa coments and some others.Using?Lv Ltr SPF

[@dlgrim0621]

Hi SugarPlum Fairy! Dream Love. This may seam a goofy mood,but its nice to goof-off some times. Talking to the Betta sounds good to Me.My Wife had a betta.I didn't think about this untill I saw the bettas reaction to Her. It would sorta look at Me ,but when She was near the betta got happy,swimming all over the place very fast.Betta or fish with feelings. Sorta rough,He went to live with Nemo.Nuts! Ever think about polygyny? Oh Well its My dream,wannacomealongwithMe. Some more later. LvU Dan

[@ctlengclectlengcle-hm5hf]
