Rautavaara: Deux Sérénades (Written for Hilary Hahn) - No. 1. Sérénade pour mon amour. ...

Hilary Hahn’s “Paris” pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of a city that has inspired generations of artists.
Drawing on this theme, Hilary called upon her fans to submit photos and original art that depict a place they appreciate, love, or find inspirational.
This animated music video, set to Einojuhani Rautavaara’s “Sérénade pour mon amour," features some of Hilary’s personal favorites from these submissions: a collection of artwork that stands out to her as truly embodying the capacity for a place and its stories to inspire creativity in people, much like how the city of Paris has for centuries.
“Sérénade pour mon amour” appears on Hilary Hahn's album “Paris,” recorded with Mikko Franck and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. Listen here: dgt.link/Hilary...

This Gorgeous violin playing by our Queen suits every single of the picture in this video. What an absolute pleasure to listen to ! Oh! I also bought the "Paris" Album and It is Significant!❤

[@linglingwannabe9135]

The playing is simply beautiful, and the transitions seem so surreal. Its perfect Edit, the transitions seem to bloom and melt from each picture into the next. That combined with the perfect playing is what makes this video beautiful beyond words

Music is of God, and classical music is its reference standard. It is no surprise the music gels with God’s creation and anything of virtue and beauty. Soli Deo Gloria!

As pessoas, os lugares e o mundo estão num constante processo de metamorfose. Alguns evoluíram, porém, outros foram extintos. Precisamos rever valores para deixarmos de viver em constante utopia. Feliz Natal à todos! 😊🙏

In the year 2022, I finally came to know that Hilary Hahn has been such a great communicator!!!!

[@abqben56]

Just gorgeous. Any plans to record his concerto?

[@elregister1475]

Thanks for sharing, Hilary, you are the best I love you please continue uploading videos!

[@morganbronson9790]

This was absolutely beautiful! I was on the edge of my seat for every frame. The artwork your fans created is stunning, I really loved watercolors paintings around the 6 minute mark. Thank you for creating this! I'd love to know what kind of image processing was used to create the transitions between each art piece. It was very well done. Thank you!

[@linglingwannabe9135]

The watercolour was beautiful

[@travisrohrer2981]

This piece reminds me of reflecting, Hilary Hahn's playing and the imagery give me a sence of remembering things I've never experienced. Like a catalog of empathetic feelings over a period of time 🤯

[@jamiezhang9786]

OMG, I have found two of my photos!

Thank you for your music part:#2:57~#7:10.

[@4Gaiety]

This song reminds me of old Disney movies like Bambi and Lady and the Tramp opening music. Calming with the excitement of what's to come.

[@nazliyucel6719]

Keyifle, huzurla dinlenilen çok naif bir eser olmuş. Emeğinize sağlık.

[@h.e.a311]

Why do not you play the Four Season for Vivaldi it is really shame to hear all those people play it this bad way. I think you have to consider it please.

[@Seron1501]

No pictures, please. It’s in the Piece! Advertise. But no pics. Have you seen are a serie of perfect pics for a song? Kisses and love! And sorry. Don’t like this. We love, love, love you!

One of the most celebrated performers in the world today, violinist Hilary Hahn is known for her virtuosity and expressive interpretations, as well as her advocacy of new music. The three-time GRAMMY winner has commissioned works by a range of composers, from Edgar Meyer to Einojuhani Rautavaara, whose final work Deux Sérénades Hahn recently recorded with Mikko Franck and Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. Hahn also embarked on a multi-year, GRAMMY-winning commissioning project, In 27 Pieces: the Hilary Hahn Encores, to revitalize the duo encore genre. In 2019, Boosey & Hawkes published a complete print edition of the project that contains Hahn’s fingerings, bowings, and performance notes, providing the next generation of violinists with a host of contemporary encore options.

From the Grand to the humble, these are fabulous images. Eight minutes flew by in a flash. Thank you Hilary and her fans.

[@bell5377]

The animations were too fast for my epilepsy unfortunately. I love the music though. Listening to it again while drawing.

[@jodydickson5713]

Yes much too fast! You can’t enjoy the art! I’d rather see the longer pause in the artwork. You see the actual picture longer and barely see the artwork that was submitted.

[@jordeel8004]

Thank you for the innumerable hours of hard work you do, so that we can hear what heaven sounds like.

[@Chibanah]

It is my favorite one from the album, also because it reminds me of the Adagio for Strings from Barber. I don't know if it is a common theme, or the composer took some idea from that piece, but those parts definitely have similarities.

[@chronoares3827]

良い演奏ですね。心がやすらぎました。日本の風景もあって良かったです。

[@ineffable9567]

… indescribable beauty …

[@markjohnorourke8264]

This is beautiful 😍

[@mustafaakkok2906]

Hello

[@tfh5575]

new hilary just dropped. stopping what i’m doing and watching now

[@ziegunerweiser]

I don't suppose I could persuade you to record the Bach trio sonatas ? I see you are performing the Dvorak concerto, if you record that wondering if you could pair that with the Hindemith ?

[@pengyeh76]

I heartedly invite Ms. Hahn to play the most famous Chinese Violin Concerto: The Butterfly Lovers. The first recording album of this piece, if my knowledge is correct, was performed by Ms. Takako Nishizaki and Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra. I personally think it is still the best performance so far. Even Ms. Nishizaki herself could not retain the spirit after that, perhaps NPO outperformed all that I heard as well. However, Mr. Gil Shaham did a recording not long ago and it was outstanding. His skills find no match than any other recordings I have heard. But Nishizaki with NPO still touches me deeper. I cry every time I listen. I feel Nishizaki catches the main character's mind and heart to a much deeper level. Maybe she is also a woman, or maybe she spent more time to contemplate and feel. Ms. Hahn is my favorite violinist. I believe she has the combination of both the best skills and she is a woman. Woman understands woman better. I don't know how to make Ms. Hahn read my request. I have been having this dream for quite a while.

[@olegdankov5455]

Bravo! - tenderness!
