[@mishacarter]

@@burgerli193DS It may seem autotuned because it has no vibrato. Vibrato in a sense is changing the pitch slightly but very fast which is why it doesn't sound like one note. Where as if you have played for a while and have good intonation when you leave out vibrato you are not changing the frequency and it is very clear. If you're playing baroque pieces you don't use vibrato which is why Hilary didn't use vibrato. I can guarantee you that she did not auto tune it. If you have played for a while and have good intonation plus good acoustics you will have a very precise sound. It's very bold of you to assume that since you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

She’s my favourite living violinist and certainly one of the very, very best musicians of all time. I subbed a week with the Atlanta Symphony when she played Prokofiev 1. Rehearsal, dress rehearsal and three performances with encores and not a note out of place or out of character. She might be the greatest dancer ever to play the violin. She understands that instrumental performance is storytelling through music; it is ballet for the fingers. Watching Hilary one can see every phrase of the music that these digital dancers perform somewhere in her body. From her eyebrows to the floor it’s all there and every movement is elegant and beautiful. ❤

I am loving this video more and more. At first I thought the gigue should be played also so it is complete. But now I think for 3.5 minutes of Bach this is just perfect, all single notes giving us everything, I am struck by the humor Bach shows with his inversions and upside down tricks. This is played so perfectly, so full of life and verve, her dancing is great too, it is like Bach is flowing thru her making all of her move to it.

[@abirdthatflew]

Yes, Bach's humour is there.

[@trevjr]

I grew up with, Szeryng and then Perlman my favorites. I have to say she is on their level at least. This is how Bach is to be played, with passion and drive and of course intonation. Every note is paid attention to. I have noticed my favorite violinists are the ones that play Bach well, it makes their performance of everything else so great. I love her Sibelius and of course everything else. Her pure intonation in Bach makes it so vital and alive, just terrific of my favorite Corrente and the great double here. All single notes Bach does everything, bass, inner voices, soprano, turns them upside down and inside out while following the harmony of the Corrente. I just marvel at this movement and it is played here like Bach himself.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Totally agree, and I have watched her Sibelius performances many times.

it's all about the bow hand for me. She's so smooth that it looks like she's not even moving. Her right shoulder barely moves. The picture perfect technique.

I have been watching and listening to Hilary Hahn for some time now, as she has grown physically and musically, and I feel she is really something very special. Her fluidity of expression, phrasing, assured intonation, and apparent effortlessness when playing, is remarkable, and something to behold. She has become my favourite interpreter of the Bach Partitas / Sonatas for solo violin. But when I hear her play the Brahms or Sibelius violin concertos, and others, I feel she is just as brilliant when interpreting classical and romantic music. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that Ms Hahn may well be this era's female Jascha Heifetz. And no...I am not kidding.

Truly amazing, I agree.

[@fhpurcell5364]

Mario DiSarli Bitte lass dieses wundervolle Talent in Ruhe. Der einzige, der sich hier nur um Berühmtheit schert, bist du - diese Musik ist einfach einzigartig, fast jeder hier weiß das, und solche Spams wie dich kann man hier echt nicht gebrauchen.

Bach had to wait several centuries to someone who could understand his complicated mind, but then Hillary arrived at this room and got it ,playing by heart with a simple smile ...🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍

[@Glissandola]

I showed this video to my preschool music students. One little girl said, "She is the queen!" We all agreed that Ms. Hahn is the queen of violin. 💚

[@Glissandola]

Then we listened to Mischa Maisky play the cello and decided he was the king of cello.

[@timewithdada-prabhatsamgii553]

Absolutely stunning. Inspiration to all violinists, all musicians, and beyond. Fascinating.🙏

[@thinkandactdaily2631]

Literally every note sounds perfect and she makes it look so easy.

[@satakeyoru]

wtf it's my first time listening to violin music being this clear, feeling like every single note is an open string

[@Hbguitars1]

She’s perfect and I can’t get enough of her talent. She’s beautiful, she plays beautifully and chooses where to go next which is a path I love. Very much appreciated for sharing.

[@classicalconcerto6742]

A lifetime is not enough for the music of Johann Sebastian Bach!!!!!!!!

[@clauderyu2316]

This is crazy. Playing Bach looks easy, but playing it without a mistake is a level of gods and godesses.

[@AndySaenz]

I love how she just walks away at the end like a boss!

[@BKlett]

Unglaublich gut gespielt!!!

[@deanronson6331]

Bach, Hilary Hahn, and the acoustics of that room - who can ask for more?

[@Nooziterp1]

Music like this transcends time. You hear rock and metal guitarists playing so many notes per second. Well, here is Bach doing it 200 years earlier!

[@paxwallacejazz]

Don't be the man who threw his sax into the river after hearing Charlie Parker. Be Paul Desmond instead! Be inspired and influenced but let her mastery encourage you to recommit to your own path. EVERY individual is unique and so is what ever it is you have to contribute to the world. Allow these points of light to take weight off your shoulders, to create depressurization, to enable that unique Buddhist freedom and creativity bestowed only to those who can aspire to be (no body special) Now work even harder but happily 🙏☯️

Not sure how to state my deep admiration so I'll speak plainly here. Ms. Hahn's focus, mastery of skill, and good sense of humor.....she can have me, this woman, anywhere at anytime.

Bach & Hilary Hahn & Sex sells & Playboy: www.pinterest.de/AriaView/hilary-hahn-violinist/ LA STAMPA Spettacoli E Playboy sceglie la bellezza "classica" Soprani e violiniste sul sito della rivista ALBERTO MATTIOLI TORINO Era inevitabile. Da quando anche nel mondo della musica cosiddetta classica, tradizionalmente serioso e/o polveroso, è scoppiata la Grande Guerra del look, è tutto un fiorire di violiniste-modelle, violoncelliste-pinup e soprani-veline. Una volta le maggiorate della lirica erano come la Caballé, oggi restano le curve, ma nei punti giusti. Se i più reputati dischifici hanno ormai abbandonato il cd solo audio per il dvd anche video, allora anche l’occhio voglia la sua parte. L’evoluzione della specie ci consegna virtuose-top con fisici slanciati, sguardi assassini, sexy look: roba da mille e una note. La notizia è che se n’è accorta anche la più celebre rivista per soli uomini (o, come dicono le femministe, per uomini soli). Così, il sito di Playboy ha lanciato «Too hot to Handel», sondaggio su «the sexiest babes of classical music», invitando i guardoni on line a votare la più bella fra dieci bellissime della musica colta. Le foto sono castigate, dato che nessuna delle magnifiche ha mai posato senza veli. Ma resta il fatto che Playboy sdogana la bellezza in chiave di violino, spiegando ai suoi lettori che la «nerdy reputation» (traduciamola come va fatto: la reputazione da sfigati) della classica appartiene definitivamente al passato. Quanto alla selezione del Coniglietto, qualcosa da obiettare ci sarebbe. Innanzitutto per la predilezione per le violiniste: sei su dieci sono troppe. Oltretutto tale Jennifer Frautschi, pur provvista di «pretty face», non è proprio una star «global» come le colleghe Hilary Hahn, Leila Josefowicz, Julia Fischer, Janine Jansen e Anne-Sophie Mutter. A proposito della Mutter: la bellezza non rima sempre con giovinezza, dato che l’ex pupilla di Karajan ed ex moglie di Prévin ha 45 anni (portati, del resto, benissimo). La sfilata delle strumentiste è chiusa (alla grande) da Ariana Ghez, primo oboe della Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. Le cantanti sono tre. Praticamente obbligata la presenza di Anna Netrebko, la diva russa che ha conquistato il mondo come Violetta in minigonna rossa circondata da stuoli di coristi allupati. Anna bella, peraltro, è appena diventata mamma di un bebé (battezzato Tiago Arua, giusto per non farsi mancare nulla) con la collaborazione del basso-baritono uruguaiano Erwin Schrott, altro bellone (la velinizzazione dell’opera non riguarda solo le donne) con il quale forma una coppia dal glam quasi insostenibile. Giusto mettere fra le divine dieci anche il soprano Danielle De Niese, prova incarnata delle virtù del melting pot. Lei è americana nata in Australia da un cocktail genetico olandese, portoghese, inglese e dello Sri Lanka, e cantava a Glyndebourne la Cleopatra di Händel ballando sensuali stacchetti che Playboy paragona giustamente a quelli di Shakira (ma la colonna sonora di Danielle è molto migliore). Invece non si capisce chi sia Sarah Coburn, soprano americano di cui i redattori vantano il «southern charm» e la «blue-eyed beauty», ma che finora non abbiamo mai sentito nominare e men che meno cantare. E poi qui si dimenticano l’occhio cerulo e i capei d’oro del mezzosoprano lettone Elina Garanca, le gambe chilometriche della collega ceca Magdalena Kozena e la bellezza mediterranea della nostra Anna Caterina Antonacci. Quanto ai risultati del sondaggio (tuttora aperto su www.playboy.com/worldofplayboy/features/classical-babes/index.html) alle 17 di ieri conduceva d’un soffio la Frautschi sulla Fischer (rispettivamente 21 e 19%) poi, staccate, Netrebko, Jansen, De Niese, Hahn, Josefowicz, Coburn, Mutter e Ghez. Macché solite note..

GIDON KREMER , Braumüller : ..."Schauen wir uns doch um: Wie und wem applaudiert die Menge? An erster Stelle stehen heute oft die "Stars". Das sind jene, denen es gelungen ist, ihr Talent zu "beweisen", Wettbewerbe zu gewinnen und in die Riege derer aufzusteigen, die von Managern und Musikproduzenten zu den vielversprechendsten und zukunftsträchtigsten "Hoffnungen" gezählt werden. Der Großteil derer, die an diesem Prozess beteiligt sind (inklusive der Talente selbst), denkt weniger an die (klassische oder moderne) Musik als an die Anerkennung, im Sinne einer gewissen "Berühmtheit", die für den Umsatz notwendig ist. Die Konzentration auf die "Quantität" (der verkauften Eintrittskarten, CDs und Tourneen) ist ein gnadenloser Prozess. Es überlebt der, dessen Lächeln am überzeugendsten wirkt. Er wird in der Folge auch das Objekt von Nachahmung und Vergötterung. Der Name des Pianisten Lang Lang (sein Pendant in Russland wäre wahrscheinlich Denis Mazujew) drängt sich hierbei förmlich auf. Die jugendliche Dynamik mulipliziert mit dem Talent, Wunderdinge auf der Klaviatur vollbringen zu können, ist das große Los. Wer kümmert sich in so einem Fall schon darum, WAS gespielt wird? Die Hauptsache ist, WER spielt! Die vom Erfolg beflügelten Talente beginnen auf der Suche nach "Sponsoren" mit den Reichen und Mächtigen zu flirten, mit Politikern, mit Oligarchen, mit ihresgleichen. ...Was das alles mit der Musik zu tun hat?

Violin's have the most appealing sound ever. I wish I knew how to play

[@stevenxia2944]

I don't think I can pick up this instrument in my late 30s. :) I play the piano.

[@ArcticPuzzle]

I wish I could play too. Lots of websites dedicated to music (and violinists themselves) agree that adults can, in fact, learn the violin. From what I gathered, what makes it complicated is that either you tell yourself you can't, so you don't, or you think you should use your time for something else, so you don't practice enough. It's never too late! For me though? My walls aren't soundproofed enough for me to learn the violin x) I need to move first

[@CharlotteMacrickens]
