Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47 - Sibelius (Score)

[@calculusfan1]

This is so insanely difficult, and yet she sounds as if she's just having fun skipping through fields of flowers. She makes it sound easy.

[@ILikeBirds]

Hilary Hahn is amazing

[@richardmorse5307]

To me it sounds like she’s working at it. This performance dispels any doubt if there was any that she is dedicated to her art as I stopped thinking about the technical side and was able to just listen to the awesome music.

Twoset describes the passage at 4:24 as “one of the best moments in all violin playing.” I totally agree.

[@iamy3356]

You arw correct. Truly a beautiful moment

[@victoriale6619]

I agree

[@alexanderyounk491]

That moment is amazing, but the thing that seals the deal is the chord that occurs at around 4:32. It is such an amazing chord and compliments the solo beautifully.

[@richardmorse5307]

This performance by Hiliary Hahn is one of her most intense, passionate and moving I’ve ever heard.

[@arnekorpen3143]

Fun fact: upper voice of the polyrhythmic passage of the 2nd mov at 22:39 derives from this passing melody of the 1st mov at 14:12. Fun fact 2: I also hear that those two melodies are quite reminiscent of Liszt's "Vallée d'Obermann" 2nd theme. Fun fact 3: a Hungarian Rhapsody 2 reference at 3:49 (or maybe just me hearing things)

[@classicalmusicanalysis]

Good catches! I don't know if it's speculation but everything you say makes a lot of sense, I like it.

[@erikbreathes]

i dont think i would call it a reference to hungarian rhapsody 2, it feels a bit too basic for that, but vallee d'obermann is actually also what i was thinking

First time hearing this, I'm seeing the cadenza in first movement. That's evident in Tchaikovsky's V Con as well. There's no question- Mendelssohn has his influences here.

I swerar, it's a running thing for Hilary's harmonics to just simply fail her (not that it's necessarily her fault, more likely a string thing). I've heard so many of her live recordings, and that damn E string especially just doesn't wanna quite hit those harmonics lol. Like at 17:25

[@michaelpaulsmith4619]

Why do conductors perform the last 3 notes of this piece ON the beat? It's not, if you look at the score. It's 1 (2) (3) (1)2 (3) 1 - the last 1 being the final chord of the piece. Does anyone disagree...?

[@classicalmusicanalysis]

I don't understand what you're saying. First of all, it's 1(2)(3) (1)2(3) (1)(2)(3) 1, and if you follow the score the recording does exactly that. What do you mean?

[@andrewbloom7694]

And yet somehow people think Brahms or Bruch are more deserving of a top 5 spot on the ranking of best violin concertos. Forget top 5, this has an argument to be THE top. I think only Beethoven or Tchaikovsky could rival it.

[@princepsangelusmors]

I don't think Tchaikovsky is nowhere close. Tchaikovsky's is incredibly basic in terms of orchestration, and it's a concerto for violin *and orchestra* - it's right there in the title: the orchestra is an integral part of the genre. Sibelius is by far the king of the genre, but Bruch and Mendelssohn are up there, too. I'd put Tchaikovsky at the end, really. Good tunes but his orchestration is incredibly mediocre.

Poco forte should be played fortissimo... never knew that. The longest ever I movement, thanks to extremely slow and static slow themes.

[@solowcello]

Although I assume you are being ironic, for those who might not know, “poco forte” (a favorite marking of Brahms as well as Sibelius) literally means “a little forte”. Cellist Diran Alexanian said Brahms told him he meant “the character of forte but the sound of piano.” (Quoted in the book “The Teaching of Artur Schnable”). She does indeed have a very different take on the first movement from other violinists.

[@juliabushkova]

@@solowcello Hi Jeffrey, yes, I was being ironic, of course. Thank you for spelling this out for the broad audience!
