Hilary Hahn Mozart Violin Concerto no.4 third mvt (3/4)

[ChanelCoco555]

The conductor sure is having a good time :D

[DAngeloMarc]

@monviolondingue : L'âme et la sensibilité sont déjà dans la musique. Il me semble que le meilleur moyen de les rendre, c'est de servir tout simplement la musique - de Mozart en l'occurrence - sans chercher à rajouter de son propre affect, ce que fait merveilleusement Hilary Hahn qui joue, en effet, d'une façon pouvant paraître inhumaine - mais surhumaine, comme celle d'un ange, et non pas sous-humaine, comme celle d'une machine!

For me is the will to live and enjoy life

[amadeus5889]

Happy Birthday Mozart! Love this concerto, especially this movement.

[sanclspbr1]

good

[monviolondingue]

Malgré sa virtuosité, je n'apprécie pas le jeu d'Hilary Hahn sans âme ni sensibilité. Une belle petite poupée mécanique !

[ThatAsianAcrossTheSt]

her...shifting.. is PERFECT

[yoshikosan127]

GREAT, AMAZING I LOVE THIS. AND ALL HER CONCERTS.

[Goldenwaves1]

Mozart is wonderful to listen to...so full of beautiful light energies. My soul soars with each note ♥

[Videogamerfan1441]

Fantastic. 

[krystianji]

Can i say something irrelevant here? i really like how she did (or someone did for her) her hair this night. i mean looking from the back, so totally cute.

By the way, i hope some internet-trained critics stop pretending that they just arrived from 18th century - and if Mozart had the luck travelling to our century, I'm sure he would love HIlary Hahn even more than we do.

BEAUTIFUL EXCELLENT ALL TIME

[ginsuchop100]

I like the so-called historically informed playing too, but I much prefer listening to Hilary's Mozart & Bach.

[1banders]

@ginsuchop100 Oh, so you prefer the so-called historically uninformed performance, with gypsy violin technique and shrill metal strings.

[ginsuchop100]

@1banders Yep I do. Btw gypsy violin technique is quite different from this, and it's great as well.

[1banders]

@ginsuchop100 Yes, I suppose unHIP performances are favored by old people who long for the good ole day of the clueless performance.

By "gypsy technique" I was referring to the relentless vibrato favored by gypsies and restaurant violinists.

"There are some players who tremble at every note, as if they had a chronic fever. One should use the tremolo (vibrato) only in those places where Nature herself would produce it." - Leopold Mozart

[ginsuchop100]

@1banders I've met old, middle age, young, and very young people on both sides of the fence. Age has very little to do with HIP preference.

HIP is no more/less valid a means of interpretation than any other. It does have a very outspoken contingent which is why it gets so much debate/prominence but that has more to do with politics, intolerance and bullying from HIP fanatics than simply making music.

[1banders]

@ginsuchop100 Age has very much to do with it HIP preference. Old people tend to prefer the old unHIP way. The young people you refer to are either cluless or brainwashed by teachers schooled in the clueless unHIP manner. "Simply music making" is just code for "clueless is ok" or for indulging the musical aesthetics of late romantiscm. To say HIP no more valid is like saying music of all periods follows the same aesthetic.

[ginsuchop100]

@1banders Thanks for proving my point. In any case we'll agree to disagree.

[1banders]

@ginsuchop100 You have no provable point. You have only bold assertions. I could just as easily assert that unHIP has a very outspoken contingent and you are part of it. My own statements merely called a spade a spade. That is neither bullying, intolerance, nor politics. There can be no "debate" unless both sides participate. If HIP gets "prominence", it's only because it has both musical & musicological justification. UnHIP has none, save the sheer willfulness of its (mostly elderly) advocates.

[viharsarok]

@1banders What is "HIP"?

[1banders]

@viharsarok HIP is an acronym for "historically informed performance," which refers a performance that takes into account period performance practices, such as bowing, articulation, phrasing, dynamics, ornamentation and tempo. A HIP could use modern instruments, but typically uses period instruments. Hence, unHIP = "historically uninformed performance.".

[viharsarok]

@1banders Thanks for the explanation.

[MucusFelidae]

@1banders I do not want "historically informed performances", me wants modern performance with modern instruments and much better sound quality than was possible before. Else we still would play on stone-age African bush-drums. What would the composers have given for better musical instruments at their time!

[1banders]

@MucusFelidae Modern instruments do not sound better. And they're not really modern. They're mostly 19th century.instruments, adapted to the musical aesthetics of the 19th c. concert audience. The so-called "Stradivarius" Baroque violins that some modern violinsits claim to own would be unrecognizable, in sound, to the maker, due mostly to the ugly sounding metal strings & anchronistic bow and bowing, and ugly vibrato.

[dolofonos]

@1banders 'Gypsy violin technique'; thank you for this!

[jayaaron1]

Played very beautifully but I would prefer it to be a bit slower.

[icarrus4u]

Chills all over my body, she's fantastic!!! And I will forever love Mozart.

[b3b3t1t4]

I think she is great at violin, the only thing I would change of her is that she plays all the pieces too romantic, for example in this, that is a classical one and bach too (it's baroque)...but other than that she is great :) (sorry for my English)

[panchamkauns]

@b3b3t1t4 If pressed I would say I prefer more "historically informed" playing but today when everyone and their mother is doing just that, I'm quite glad to have a Hilary Hahn to listen to as well!

[dozemix]

I love anyone playing the violin well. I tend ton consider them a teacher.

[MrThepresident2009]

@toyouall Do you compare Mozart with Paganini??? With all my respect for Niccolò, but it's a blasphemy what you say....... There's no genius like Mozart, he's the only one...........!

[classicalmusic1000]

2:33 wrong!!!!!!!

[Danofnj]

Wonderful!!!!

[TheTucsonJeff]

I never ceased to be amazed by Hilary's playing. So crisp, clear, flawless, and with impeccable intonation.

[enooxx]

Love mozart and hilary hahn

[redviolinistuk]

argh! memory slip at 2.33 phew lol

[toyouall]

She definitely has the 'signature' Hiliary Hahn spirit.........

Mozart is not Paganini unfortunately..........

[hartistry]

LOvely playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
