This was performed in Tokyo's Suntary Hall on November 27th 2000, which happened to be Ms. Hahn's 21st birthday. Mariss Jansons is conducting the Berlin Philharmonic. Maestro Jansons had a long career as conductor, notably for the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and he was known for his interpretations of the works of Shostakovich and other Russian composers, as well as Mahler. Ms. Hahn needs no introduction; she is considered to be one of the finest solo violinists in the world. She has won three Grammy awards and has been recently nominated for another.

Mariss Jansons led the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in the mid-1990s. I had the joy of attending his premier there, at which he conducted Mahler 's 1st, preceded by Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite." So amazing. As if I had never really heard either work before. The college I served during that period engaged the PSO in a partnership arrangement to attract audiences to annual concerts from our county north of Pittsburgh, and I got to speak with him on several occasions. A great, kind and thoughtful man, and an unexcelled 20th Century Conductor. The world is poorer for his untimely passing.

Thank you for that biographical and musical data for this concert. This is a first listen for myself of this concerto and Hillary is the perfect violinist to experience this work. Such a remarkable artist whose temperament and personality are mirrored in her virtuoso play.

Such a master at 21 years of age... She's a miracle of nature...

​@@facente Shostakovich was never the chairman of the musical Stalin Prize commitee, Myaskovsky was. Dmitry Dmitrievich was for a short time an ordinary member of the committee, then expelled for an argument with the chairman and later reinstated -- also for not very long period. And he knew too well that the attempt to publish a concerto like this could took him again into a big trouble like the one he had with "Katherina Izmailova" opera in 1936 . He wrote this music "for the desk drawer" and the public performance became possible only after Stalin's death. Your Cap :)

Agreed about Shostakovich not being able to have a piece such as this wonderful concerto performed while Stalin was still alive!! And the same goes for his 11th Symphony!! (Which was the first symphony he composed after all of Stalin's associates were no longer in power...and which is one of, if not the most, continuously intense full scale Symphony composed!! A true force of nature that work is, like Shostakovich himself!!!)

Side note: what an excellent quality of filming!! This must have been around 2000, and it’s a better recording than many today with more advanced technology

I'd suggest that the Suntory is a good place to find the best sound and video equipment .... close to the factories that designed & made it possibly. It's very good production.

Hilary brings love and light in this dark, dramatic great concerto while Ostrakh whispers sorrow and despair. And the third giant Vengerov brings a huge strength, powerful drama. ❤❤❤

Youth and maturity of an artist are not the same and cannot be compared especially for Hilary Hahn. I love her performances but it is wonderful to see her when she was younger. She had something that she doesn't have today. She has something today that she did not have before. She is the most musically gifted of all time for violin. A perfect ear. A notch higher than Itzhak Perlman.

Octaves from the phrase 23:47 sounded like birds-- terrific tearjerker

As a violinist who has played at this concerto for many a moon, and with no particular success, I must say that I admire Ms. Hahn's performance greatly. This is not a work for talented amateurs. Her technique and spirited playing set the standard for the rest of us. Shostakovich wrote 2 VIOLIN CONCERTOS, and I can't say i understand No. 2, but I've been in love with No. 1 since college. By the way, have you heard Shostakovich's SYMPHONY NO. 9? That's where he gave the one-fingered salute to Stalin, and lived to tell the tale. His memoirs--TESTAMENT--are well worth a read.

Superb.She plays with spirit.

she makes playing of abstruse pieces as if it were from some Suzuki method, such a marvelous performance!

저 자리에 있었던 사람들은 얼마나 행복했을까

Bravo..!!Por Soshtacovich..!!

Lol i put this on while i was studying and my face literally went 🤨 cause hilary looks so young! Performed when she was 21, insane. She's aged just as well as her playing has

La maravillosa Hillary: la difícil perfección...

This is a diabolical, though queer and captivating composition, and I can never be ascertained that my ears like it. Despite personal taste, it remains a masterpiece; Shostakovich poured his soul, his voice, his consternation into this, and we can never underestimate the horrors he endured under Stalin’s reign… Young Hilary Hahn did so well, having memorized all of this and performed it with passion and vigor 👏
