  • I swear she moves her bow like 2 millimeters and can project over an entire orchestra lol.. what a bright and penetrating contact point… 👍👍

    It feels like her interpretation has changed as she's gotten older. This is more aggressive, passionate, than her younger self, which was more cold, virtuoso-like performance.
  • @pcpt
    i was in that audience!
  • I wish Johannes Brahms was still alive listening to Hillary play this live. One of the greatest violin concertos of all time. It has it all, passion, emotion, intrigue, power and consummate beauty. Hillary excels, yet again. Timeless. I cry when I hear it as it has so much emotion. Chapeau Hillary.

    This is the first piece of music that I really "got" back in the long lost days of my youth and I never tire of it. Hilary Hahn just gets better and better and hopefully one day i will see a live performance of hers. Many thanks for this.
  • This is the best interpretation I have heard of Brahms Violin Concerto, and the one that has moved me the most! From the finest nuances to the crescendos Hilary is fantastic in her violin playing, for example in the cadenza in the first movement. And the conductor and the ocherstra follows her as if this was made in heaven.
  • Hilary is developing her playing all the time. As a listener it is a lovely path to follow...
  • @ILikeBirds
    You can tell she plays with more passion every time she plays this
  • @Karlinberlin1
    Hahn has jumped to a new level in the last couple years. Passion, courageousness - she' becoming one of the greats.

    Quel bonheur Hilary Hahn nous procure avec ce jeu d'une perfection presque extraterrestre. Perfection sensible, celle qui touche et émeut le cœur… Merci mille fois pour ce magnifique concert, très bien filmé et enregistré.

    Wish I had been there. Having the video to watch and listen to is a blessing. Hilary always, always delivers. What a delight!
  • When you think things can’t get better you get this. WOW!!!
  • Oh my goodness, what an amazing display of the meaning of exquisite. The music & how it is expressed by Hillary & the orchestra under Maestro Noseda between 9 & 10 mins. culminates, without fail, in tears welling up in my eyes. Hilary is truly an incredible gift not only as a musician but also as a beautiful person. 💖
  • BRAMS IS PROUD WITH YOU DEVINE HILARY! YOU PERFORM HIS MUSIC CONTEMPORARY! YOU GIVE TO THE PEOPLE TO KNOW BRAMS OF TODAY! YOU INSPIRE THE PEOPLE TO LOVE ART AND SO TO BECOME GOOD PEOPLE!
  • It is also lovely to follow Hilarys moves on stage. And yes, music is a sort of ballet.

    I just can’t imagine more tone. Or concern for each note. It’s just so astonishing. How is this accomplished? It’s simply genius and effort and understanding beyond compare. Oh, Queen Hilary. ….
  • @fingerhorn4
    Unbelievably beautiful playing, and almost total accuracy, though that is always granted with Hilary. But there's something new here. Even more passion, even more rich fruit! That combination assures you of an engaged listen to this dynamic and wistfully passionate take by HH, at her best and getting better as each year passes. What a STUNNING performance.

    Was there (next night)! NSO and Hahn were magnificent, marvelous. Might be the one concerto that brings out Hahn's strengths the most - power, precision, and tenderness.
