This is a delightful and most vivacious Mozart Sinfonia. What makes this artistic piece of concert music outstanding is the violin and viola communication. Both Hahn and Che-Hung Chen are in complete communication with the intent of the music. I have not seen many violin viola performances on U Tube which are as good as this performance.
For some unknown reason I expected a Soprano to begin singing with a powerful opening note at 0:39. But this was a beautiful composition; it was even better because Hilary Hahn played, my favourite violinist. Lovely.
There's one thing I really noticed in this video. If you watch their faces, it almost seems as if Hilary is looking at the violist and trying to get him to feed off of her enthusiasm, but he almost chooses not to look up from his music and react at all. Perhaps it's my mistake. Just an observation.
5:39 and so forth...Is it just my ear ....or is it out of tune? because hilary hahn mirrors him in the next couple of measures after it...and that sounds fine..as far as I can tell. and When I hear him....somethings off...
did hilary ever sit concertmistress in curtis ? she talks a lot about being in the back of the seconds for a while, and whenever she plays with orchestras (not as soloist), she generally plays the second part.

L'altiste a l'air crispé ! Quel dommage, jouer à côté d'Hilary Hahn, c'est un duo formidable !

Je pense il était juste un peu timid jouer avec Hilary, pourtant, il est un bon joueur aussi.

something interested, the concertmaster is not always ( or usually? HA! ) the best violinist in the orchestra at Curt.
jys1205 4 years ago
yes but that does not answer my question!

YES! just like Hilary wasn't even though at age 14 or whatever she was, she could've been!
