Hilary Hahn and Josh Ritter Play Bone of Song

[goneatlast]

Two artists, each taking beautiful chances. Barriers disappear, the art blossoms. Such a fine celebration.

Thanks so much for this clip, twilightflame.

My son and I just heard Josh in concert last night in Cleveland: Sublime.

[BTVSBlackIris]

Hilary is so pretty and talented :)

The same goes for Josh, of course.

Top Notch.... violin is subtle and brilliant! It almost makes me sad how amazing Josh's lyrics are because I couldn't even fathom writing something so beautiful. Pure talent by both!

[BBRENTTAGHAPP]

haha i love it! but it seems random that they'd perform this at the verbier festival? lol

[SoHoIoT]

Nice!;D

[ryanpartridge]

Amazing what a pair!

[JoshVanDerWood]

gives me chills / what a blessing to play with Hilary; beautiful.

"I'm the only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest", this man is brilliant.

I only wish everyone on you tube could be that nice and courteous. I have noticed that it happens mostly around the music videos. Spread it around people. Have a good one. FYI this is a lovely song first time I have heard his music.

[musique55]

is this performance in France or Quebec? she was welcoming people in French.

[twilightflame91]

I believe it was Switzerland or somewhere close by :)

[richie132]

I just discovered Josh Ritter, only days ago, and this rapidly became my favorite of his songs thus far. I was elated to find it on YouTube and I like the violin accompaniment. Thank you so much for posting.

[frankop26]

yes he is pretty good =) but i assume that you are not a classical music lover 'cos

"the violin accompaniment" it's hilary hahn the best violinits alive XD

[dancegypsy]

frankop26: I meant no disrespect whatsoever to Ms Hahn or to imply she was any less an artist; to the contrary, I'm certain she's a much more accomplished musician than Josh. It's just that Josh Ritter is brand new to me and I love this song, was thrilled to find it on here. My musical tastes run the gamut. This was my first introduction to Ms Hahn, but I'll definitely be looking for her on here, as well. Thank you for your reply. :-)

[frankop26]

XD ho no please don't missunderstand me, i wasn't attacking you ( what is very common in youtube comments XD ) i just was saying ^^ yes both are amazing together, and there were a rumor of both of them dating together XD they would do a nice couple XD

greets! i hope you like hilary ^^

[fifi102m]

that was the most courteous comment exchange i have ever seen.....

[dancegypsy]

fifi102m: What a surprise to come online tonight and find this! Thank you for taking a second to be so kind!!!

The collaboration between these two performers was featured on NPR this morning (5/21/08). The recognition is well deserved. This particular piece is especially good.

[mehmeh202]

Thank you so much for putting all these videos up. They are absolutely astounding!

[mccauley90]

fantastic.

[AnnaBaaanana]

I think this is absolutely beautiful:D The violin adds to the song so elegantly.

[tyltyl123123]

好的很

[rinnin]

Josh was excellent as usual but she just played some random shite till the very end. Dont even think she heard the song before. She ruined it.

[oldbill16]

You are talking about one of the best young classical violinists in the world playing a subtle accompaniment to a beautiful song.  Perhaps you should expand your horizons a little, rinnin, since you obviously know little about real music.

[rinnin]

I'm sure she may be a great classical violinist, but I'm sorry, this improv did nothing to a great Josh Ritter song. Again thats just my opinion.

[mccauley90]

you have to take into account she is playing to a style she is unaccustomed to, which is difficult for a concert performer.

[kernjesus]

I must say... this is one of my favorite Ritter songs. It's such a beautiful song. I love how it ends.

[mrfacques]

OMG!!! Thanks for putting this vid up!!! If anyone has a problem with copyright infringements, Ill take of them, so you better not takes this down video down...lol

[twilightflame91]
