Man, when you hear Hilary play this concerto, it really just ruins hearing everyone else play it...shoot that was next level.

Only violinists know how hard it is to let a perfect, crystal clean sound come out of the instrument. But to produce those perfect, crystal clean harmonics in the 3rd movement... Only God knows how to achieve that. Ah, and Hilary Hahn of course. Pure talent and endless practice to the service of the art. Thank you

True the best recording I can hear on the entire youtube. Maxim Venegrov one is also in terms of interpretation good but bad quality of audio turns me here. I also like interpretation at 2:38 starting with very quick notes(I dont know what to call them) and I love it. In many recording I hear that section started slow and then getting in pace like Ray Chen did and I dont like it. Also in many recordings the orchestra starting from 3:22 is very fast which again turns me in here as this recording offers that passage at a slower pace which sounds very good. Very nice work by orchestra they all played in harmony and created awesome music I am not going to switch to other recording for years to come. Sadly Maxim Venegrov recording has a poor audio quality as compared to this but I like his interpretation.

@@jyotsnasrivastava6373 I liked Vengerov's interpretation a lot, but nothing beats Hilary's. Her tone is utterly clean and clear, all the melodic passages come forward with such clarity and refinement and she never adds unnecessary embellishments. Sure, there might be a single mistake or two but it's insignificant, this remains my favorite interpretation, I actually prefer Hilary's to Ida Haendel's which is also a wonderful interpretation (Sibelius himself loved it).

The way Hilary looks around at other musicians when she’s not playing is just so considerate and endearing ❣️

Not a single violinist could reach a half of Hilary's skills, even the very best ones of the past, even Heifetz. Hilary Hahn is unique, the others are kids in a kindergarten ! At 35'35, one old instrumentalist understands deeply what is happening, an absolute miracle, the nectar of violin, the sublimation of Sibelius because of Hilary Hahn ! She is the ambrosia of Gods, Hilary Hahn is a Goddess.

@@lou-gt3oy As no one replied to your Q - A TwoSetter is a fan of TwoSet Violin, 2 guys called Brett & Eddy who are professional violinists and who introduced me to Hilary. Non-violinists, even non-musicians, enjoy their channel which is educational and fun.

Hilary is stunning in this, musicaly and emotionally entrancing, but I have to applaud the entire orchestra as they don't seem to be getting much love in the comments. They all are performing with emotion and beauty and it just creates a stunning sound. I also want to say thankyou to the most happy and wonderful conductor I think I have ever watched. If you weren't feeling good for this performance in the orchestra, that smile would melt away any anxiety, and he truly paid attention to every detail and kept the orchestra together following Hilary when she took artistic liberty. This whole performance was perfect!

One of the best performances of anything, by anyone. Ever. They make you realise that the piece is even greater than you already knew it was. Ms Hahn’s virtuosity is musical, daring, apt, faultless and extraordinary. Speaking for myself, I don’t know whether to laugh with joy or cry - with joy. I usually manage to do both. Wonderful.

I can't help but smile when seeing her move to the music and turn to watch her fellow musicians when she's not playing. Clearly it's so much more than a job or a role for her.

As a teacher and musician I do want to spread the word though that while TwoSet make entertaining videos about such fantastic musicians (Ms Hahn, Ray Chen etc) they have made quite the amount of viola jokes and put-downs to the point where two of my viola students quit music. They quit private lessons with me and they dropped out of music at school because they "couldn't deal with the jokes and classmates that made fun of them for being a violist and dissed constantly by TwoSet". Some people have said to me "okay, but the students don't have to watch these videos" yet unfortunately in their music classes at school the teacher devotes a portion of class time to watching the latest TwoSet upload. I've written to schools and got no decent response. Both students took the easy way out and switched to sports. I just need to point out that good AND bad come from TwoSet videos and their comment section. With or without TwoSet, I love Hilary Hahn's performances and recordings.

Man... no other piece can make me cry like this EVERY SINGLE TIME I listen to it. It's crazy. :')

Please, don’t ever take this video down. I need to listen to this piece at least once a week to cleanse my soul of the stress over the pandemic, college, and my own personal issues. I absolutely adore this concerto and this specific recording. I honestly cannot imagine how Hilary, the audience, and the orchestra felt when they heard this sublime recording. It is simply perfectly executed and extremely vulnerable, emotional, and full of intense passages that run chills down my spine. The sheer amount of devotion, clarity, and impactful phrasing that Hilary creates is out of this world. This has to be the most emotive performance of Sibelius’s violin concerto in history. The sheer anguish inside of the musical context of this concerto is fairly deep and dramatic, but that’s what makes it so remarkable and memorable. Sibelius dreamed of becoming a soloist but unfortunately was never able to achieve his dream. Sibelius wrote this concerto for a kind of ghostly self. He was a failed violinist. He had begun lessons late, at 14, but then “the violin took me by storm, and for the next ten years it was my dearest wish, my overriding ambition, to become a great virtuoso.” In fact, aside from the double handicap of his late start and the provincial level of even the best teaching available in Finland, he had neither the physical coordination nor the temperament for such a career. In 1890-91, when he was in Vienna studying composition, he played in the conservatory orchestra (its intonation gave him headaches), and on January 9, 1891, he auditioned for the Philharmonic. “When he got back to his room,” we read in one of the great Sibelius biographies, “Sibelius broke down and wept. Afterwards he sat at the piano and began to practice scales.” With that he gave up, though a diary entry in 1915 records a dream of being twelve and a virtuoso. His Violin Concerto is imbued both with his feeling for the instrument and the pain of his farewell to his “dearest wish” and “overriding ambition.” And yet, he wrote one of the most challenging and physical demanding violin concertos ever. Sibelius is a genius.

The special connection between Mikko and Hilary is worth some thoughts. Mikko is another kind of conductor, as I see it. He is not some Furtwängler, or Karajan, he is only himself, smiles at Hilary, even sits when he is conducting, as if he is aware that the orchestra are the ones that does the real job. Together with Hilary. He has abdicated from the high position that conductors often have, but still does his job the best he can. And that helps the music to come through. At least it seems as Hilary highly appreciate this new order.
