iCadenza interview with Hilary Hahn

[@Francescogiovanni-z2l]

Love how she gesticulates with her left hand :)

[@TheFrancescaViolin]

Hilary Hahn is so confident with herself. It's very inspiring...(besides the fact that she is an incredible violinist!)

[@stephaniehughes4691]

What a great interview. Hilary is such a thoughtful person. We are witnessing a violinist who gets better by the year. Hilarys Mendelssohn violin concerto in e on YT is the best I have ever heard.

[@iamjane9628]

I have such respect for Hilary Hahn. Supremely talented, articulate, intelligent, and a class act in every sense.

[@brij4174]

She has a gentle confidence. Being the best in the world (which she is by my tastes), it's easy to be either cocky or present false humility. She seems pretty genuine and is always nice in interviews. She has such a gift for communication that I have hopes that she could turn great teacher in her later years as an old master a la Heifetz.

[@veeolin2225]

Hilary Hahn is one of the miracles ever lived on this planet, she has a very deep innate understanding with music esp Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Paganini etc. etc...and she is capable in anything. And yes her programming to me has not always been a bit luck of the draw for someone like me, I have seen her doing something that I would not even consider music, but whatever she plays, I suggest that you SHOULD go, she is one of the greatest in history, and she doesn't need a Strad!!

[@JoePalau]

Veeo Lin the depth of her understanding of music, programming and audience participation is thrilling. The world needs more public intellectuals in all fields. Hers is music. We are her benefactors.

[@1010Huey]

What a great interview! The interviewer asks some great questions and Hilary provides insightful responses. Awesome!!

[@postusinterruptus]

Saw her last night (2.1.2014) with the LA Phil. An incredible talent!

[@lawofoneacim9467]

I would just like to comment that the interviewer is incredibly inspiring for me, because she is looking into the very heart and soul of Hilary. This is profoundly 'active listening', which in psychotherapy is essential to healing. Most people in life have never 'been listened to' so deeply, and it is touching, beyond words, to see that rapport, that sympathetic vibration, there. There is a harmony that exists at the energetic level, between the two of them -- something rarely spoken of. Literally, its like two magnets! And it reaches the heart level. Love it! Thank you. Hilary is pretty cool too, lol

[@martinheald9718]

Hilary is such a wonderful violinist so it is just fabulous to be able the hear the girl behind the instrument and what she has to say abut her work and her life. Good on you Hilary , you are the best. I enjoy all your performances on Utube and regularly play them over and over. You are beautiful too, and very easy on the eye

[@JayashriV]

Her answers were really clear, descriptive, and insightful without rambling. Wonderful!

[@davebinaz4576]

I'd really like to see an interview of her parents.

[@VanessaMaeFan18]

i want to see hilary hahn play vivaldi's violin concertos!!!! i would love to hear her versions of vivaldi. shes a total beast.

[@bhinderbinder]

It's interesting to be able to see her hands in a non-playing situation. I'm fascinated by the hands of artists. They're definitely special!!!

[@blomst20]

Thank you for a lovely interview

[@carlosjavierguzman1509]

She's adorable, and obviously a genius!

[@chriscampbell1342]

"When I started studying with my Russian teacher, I did Suzuki for a year and a half or so, so when I was five" I QUIT!

[@TheFrancescaViolin]

Gosh I wish I was interviewing her!!!

[@irisce2799]

wow, you are a professional violinist too!

[@irisce2799]

in the 10 years since u posted this comment, you got ur bachelors and masters in violin peformance and play in professional orchestra!

[@caitlinp99]

12:15 "My violin case takes care of the tweeting." that's cute :)

[@irisce2799]

12:15 :) ur comment is so ancient that timestamps don't work in comments!

[@sergioribeiro4124]

I think I have seen most of her interviews but none of them asked what other style of music Hilary listens to outside of classical.

[@bagler101]

@boomer4666 It's really her- she's tweeting from the case's point of view.

[@rubenmsk]

recording contrasting pieces mmm i own the cd with the paganini and sphor violin concertos and they a re too similar, this is the only one cd that hilary did the same style and i could say the barber and meyer violin concertos CD is another one with similar style

[@Soundsandcords-AC-Artes5448]

its me or Hillary speak more properly than the reporter, I am an spanish speaker from Dominican Republic, and I think that reporter is too facinated with Hahn's interview. hahahahahaha

[@kablamo9999]

@boomer4666 I think it's actually her, sort of writing from the violincase's perspective, at least that's how it appears. But I'm not 100%

[@ginsuchop100]

@Giarola77 You're welcome. It's good to know that provoking a little anger and getting one's anti-American prejudices flowing can improve one's language skills so dramatically. I'm glad to see your English is really pretty good.

[@kuladoo]

could somebody tell me of the interviewer plz??

[@etojhoakaeergear]

かわいい声してるんだな、ヒラリー。 綺麗な見た目とのギャップがいいな。

[@veeolin2225]

Is Jennifer a musician too??

[@boomer4666]

i'm confused... is the violincase a actual person tweeting? or is it Hilary Hahn, giving her the name violincase? i know thats a dumb quesiton but i just want to know for sure o. o

[@eunicekim5939]

when didi Hilary hahn start her violin

[@oldvlc]

eunice kim She was four.

[@archiebrown6254]

I think she was 4.

[@chapmicua1858]

One month before she was 4.

[@veeolin2225]

Jennifer is a good host, great contrast with Julie!

[@gabebabe1]

Can't focus the camera? Not with Hilary please!

[@ginsuchop100]

@Giarola77 find a better online translator. That was incomprehensible.

[@Giarola77]

No big deal. Get drunk, get laid and stop spend all your free time playing "World of Warcraft”. You will understand anything better. A grown person who calls itself "Ginsuchop the Night elf” . . . oh gosh. Why not Beethoven? Debussy? Berio? De Falla? Prokofiev? Villa Lobos?or Ginastera? Probably because you do not speak German, Italian, French, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese etc. Well, in this case you can try Charles Ives, Hamlet or any other serious person. Go forward!

[@pskim1282]

She is cuter and chattier than I thought :)

[@jeanparke9373]

I know right!! Love her ♡

[@jgunther3398]

She's a shoe-in for the nomination, but can she beat Trump?

[@isabelle921]

You did not just bring up the presidential election.

[@ginsuchop100]

@Giarola77 See? That wasn't so hard was it? Much more intelligible.

[@pskim1282]
