He's one of the greatest violinist of this time. The way he stands his ground - literally - is a marvel to watch. He takes his energy from the ground, transferring it directly to the string. He can do whatever he likes, and does so with superb taste and technique. He really moves me, a young guy transferring the violin playing tradition and exploring the repertoire in a genial way. No words.

[@l.alexandra5871]

This man is a genius. But I’m sure I’m not saying anything new. His playing is so exquisite, in every way - so well thought through - with an astonishing technique which is a means for him to express his artistic voice - the greatest I have rarely heard in any medium.

[@dmp7252]

Oh, this guy is everything! The orchestra - beyond glorious! (By the way, when the concert master gets up OUT OF HIS CHAIR to shake your hand - especially from an Orchestra with the storied history that the Finish Radio Symphony Orchestra has - you have indeed earned their respect. That was a HUGE gesture.) Back to Augustin: I love how he provides such a soft and light touch to certain phrases. Where most violinists attack, Augustin finesses. 1:55 - such a delicate touch. This is fiddle playing totally in the vein of Heifetz, Pearlman, Zimmerman (we can give Zimmermann his props, too); Isaac Stern, etc. - I mean the OLD masters. We are so flooded with 12-year-olds playing this and that, that we forget the Titans who Put the Violin On the Map have already played these pieces, and many of their performances have RARELY been equaled to this day. When Augustin plays, it's like someone is either talking or singing, period. I simply do not hear a violin. I have tried and tried and tried, but I DON'T hear a violin. It sounds like something all together different. If you want to talk technique - just listen to 28:24, there's a flourish of lower notes (that pattern repeats itself a few times), and most violinist don't give much attention to that section. With Augustin, it's beyond clear; it actually comes very much alive. Brilliant! This man is a living legend!

[@wonderwalk1210]

Great comment. Thanks

[@ottoback5375]

I dont like the interpretation of the conductor of the allegro moderato, the orchestra is too rigid, especially at 7:04 and all the repetitions. Augustin is beyond gloriously legendary tho

@@shinigami8068 I've played guitar and I'm learning violin now, and I can tell you the tremolo in this piece is harder on violin. At least for me.

[@rebpv7537]

Violonist here 😄🤚 This encore piece is very, very difficult because of the virtuosic bow part. It's not tremolo but ricochet (that's the term in France) . In fact, the bow touch each string successively with a very quick bounce and it requiert lot of years to master... After 10 years with violin, i can only dreaming of playing like that 🥺😅

[@Exelitious]

@@rebpv7537 Yeah, and ricochet is very annoying to get down right, since you have to get every bounce to be very similar to the first one for ricochet to even sound a bit consistent. Also different parts of the bow bounce differently, so you need to have pretty much flawless bow technique to play this...

@@VivaLaVittoria I heard the version of this concert by Joshua in 2013 in the UK and I have to tell you that he made fourteen mistakes, some very notorious, but I summarize them in that he was out of note and time several times and that this caused that the long notes had to be shortened . Another notation for the high notes made them feel very shrill. In conclusion he is far below the level of Augustin. Regards.

What about Perlman?

[@annarborboymichigan]

The sound he plays is very clear and gentle. And his playing method seems to value the sound created by the author.

One great younger violinist to add to Hilary Hahn, Anne-Sophie Mutter, and other very well trained and technically perfect interpreters. Hadelich suffered major burns and required one year of treatment in Germany.

His rendering of the Tchaikovsky concert is romantic, technically perfect, full of Russian pathos and sentiment. Thanks violin express for posting.
