Tschaikowsky: Violinkonzert ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Hilary Hahn ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada

Thank you for making concerts like these so accessible to everyone, and in such great quality 🙏

In addition to her perfect technique, her musical creativity is increasingly visible. It's an honor to listen to and watch a great artist at her prime 👑

It's incredible how Hilary and Andres understood that Tchaikovsky was a prolific composer for ballet. The entire performance was incredibly graceful and truly terpsichorean, nothing was rushed just for the sake of demonstrating virtuosity - it was first and foremost presented like dance.

Hahn's technique was already perfect when she was a teenager. The majority of her progress since then has been in her expressive quality and understanding of the music she plays. She continues to make new realizations about what music really means, what an outstanding person.

The production level on this video is outstanding. Major props to the team that captured the audio, filmed from all angles, and the editor that it all together who actually knew what they were doing. Always seemed to show the exact perfect tight angle or distant view at exactly the right time. The ultra tight zoom for the harmonics, the play back and forth between the instruments, the big picture view during the full fortississimo.... absolute excellence. Thank you. I truly enjoyed this incredible performance because of your work.

My observation: * Her bowing technique is so fabulously unique. * This orchestra and conductor works so well with her

I swear she gets better with age. She always had perfect technical ability, but in the past several years I’ve heard a new depth of feeling and soul in her playing that shines through.

I literally screamed when I saw this!! I’m so happy that there is a new recording of her Tchaikovsky, although I love the recording of the one with the youth orchestra in Texas! I’ll probably listen to this every day for the next two months or so… This is played SOOOO beautifully!! Love everything about this!! <333 edit: also….the freakn cadenza???? HELLO?? That was…mind blowing…

God, the power this woman has with one violin is and will be unsurpassed.

i am disabled and iam living best, because i am living in Germany My destionation is why I am free! Frankfurt .....❤ my illnes was the key, trough hell and back now i hear violine and angel sing. iam an first class Patient. Thank you Germany and Lady Hilary🎉😮😮

My favorite violinist + my favorite conductor + my favorite violin piece = heaven Love how they enjoy the moment!

Such maturity, even at her age -- she ages better than the greatest wines of the world. My god -- what a spectacular interpretation and we're still saying that in her middle years. Crazy...

I can’t believe the audience was so well behaved at the end, just applauding from their seats. I would’ve jumped out of my chair screaming how much I love HH and the conductor and the whole orchestra while ugly crying and applauding until my hands would’ve become crippled. Such an amazing performance. Music is unearthly.

Not only HH but also orchestra is outstanding

This orchestra is fast becoming my favorite orchestra

Oh my god, I can`t even! Nobody had a clue how hyped I was for Hilary`s full Tchaikovsky performance on YouTube. I mean, I`ve been waiting forever for this. And it`s now available. A complete concerto, you say? My life is complete. Massive shoutout to the hr-Sinfonieorchester for dropping this! No more 3-minute teasers, y`all rock! And of course, Hilary absolutely nailed it!

Hilary’s playing is aging like fine wine. Sweet, yet savory. Bold when called for, yet timid. All this while having world-class precision and staying true to the piece. Beautiful.

I love the way when she plays it’s 100 pct about the music she’s making. There’s no excess movement. She’s willing the violin to make these sounds. What what amazing music she produces
