Young Hilary Hahn plays Bach (Gigue in d minor)

[hobbitg3]

good played, but very fast in my opinion

[patxiek]

Hi, I have no words to express what I feel, I'm happy, I would like to know her age at the time Hillay, I think if I saw JSB would feel happy that a young performer his music to the level that makes Hillary I feel joy ........ thank you very much, so upload more videos please

[patxiek]

hola , no tengo palabras para expresar lo que siento , soy feliz , me gustaria saber la edad que tiene en ese momento Hillay, creo que si la viera J.S.B se sentiria feliz de que una joven interprete su musica con el nivel que lo hace Hillary, siento gozo........gracias gracias , suban mas videos asi por favor

[palcsi]

Truly one of the musical phenomenons of our time.

[Curtismusicman]

this is the first video i saw of her. At first i was like "awwww she's so cute". then i was like "Why the hell did Itzhak Perlman start playing the violin and interrupt this little... oh wait that's her".

[YukiOnna586]

such frightening speed with absolute accuracy.......O.o

[o0o0oo00oo00]

o.......m..........g..........­.

[bigOryx]

omg i can't belive what I jus saw... :O

[hilaryhahn210]

0:20 there aren't words to describe her vibrato

[tibele1000]

For a 15 year old kid to play this way is impossible. That makes it a miracle. Absolute perfection

[Dianilovesutew]

Im playin that and im 14, ha ha haaaaaa lml jk, i am though but shes still amazing

[MrUnitedwar]

@Dianilovesutew It's not what you play that is important, it's how you play it ;)

[Dianilovesutew]

@MrUnitedwar True, I will never underestimate a violinist of such magnificent craft and skill and technique.

[sebster100]

If this is the encore, what must the performance have been like?

[leoncioviolin]

LA MEJOR!!!!!

[StonesAllAround87]

Is she human?

[rain2da1mental]

its alright, kind of overkill for that age; wonder if she ever got to have fun hanging out with her buddies, or ever got good jokes? But its not bad.

[indiandude786]

@rain2da1mental i think for here, this WAS her fun, she also went to a very prestigious shcool of musicians ( curtis) when she was ten so im sure she made many friends there

[twiddle7125]

@rain2da1mental Ever got to have fun? Did you see the smile on her face afterwards? When I perform, I know of nothing that has given me as much joy.

[hilaryhahn210]

@rain2da1mental if i could play like that i wouldn't need friends either

[2JAMMY]

I did not like this at all. She played it a little too good. Once I finish up on Twinkle twinkle little star I gonna learn some Bach. I'll show her the little pipsqueak.

[nikanj]

How must it feel to sit in first or second violin and watch a 15 year old play like that?

[StonesAllAround87]

@nikanj bad

[ggalexhutchings]

@nikanj it's not unlike that moment when you realize your 15 year old kid is smarter than you.

[BeammeupSpotty]

holy smokes - wow

[MrTanbark]

You can play Bach as if you were writing equations on a blackboard. Technically perfect, etc.

She plays his music with a passion and joy that infuses it with a...romantic...quality.

Makes me proud to be the same species as she. :o)

[indiandude786]

the video is slightly off..nothing bad just saying it cause some people were wondering...

[DISAMAOSSAASTORET]

Hija de su mauser y yo encerrado ensayando 4 horas para tocar una jodida sonata

[delameu]

that dude behind her on the left was like, respect

[ggalexhutchings]

@delameu he was like ' i think i might be wasting my time '

[1wjj1]

A mere (perfect) race

[bbishop725]

Amazing talent, especially considering her young age.

Can someone tell me why, at 2:13, she moves her bow far away from the violin, but the sound of the last note continues for about another full second?

[simiamens]

@bbishop725 (the sound's that much off from the beginning)

[PresAhmadinejad]

@bbishop725 The video is slightly ahead of the audio.

[rubenmsk]

@bbishop725 the audio and video are not together

[Eskimviolin]

@bbishop725 because the video is lagging. the sound and the movement isn't synced. :)

[dwayne515]

T\lent Hacks!!!!!! :/

amazing performance

[Keyhan37]

Ich weiss es nicht warum?aber ich kann einfach von der kosmischen Musik vom Johan Sebastian Bach und die unvergleichliche mutidimensionale Interpretation und Violine Spiels von der wunderschöne Hilary Hahn nicht ablaassen bzw kriege ich niemals genug davon,ich habe J.S.Bach mit 17 in eine religiöse Fammilie und Gesellschaft Kennengelernnt,jetzt bin ich 53.das ist aber gar nichts.ich stelle mir vor,dass wenn ich noch 5 Millarden Jahre leben könnte,dann hätte ich vieleicht seine musik verstanden.

[starfirecrystal]

at the end when she finishes and nodds her head shes like "yeaaahhhh. im tha shit" :D

[JMBInuYasha]

She's a one woman show.

[abbygirldelrosario]

whose here teacher O_O

[chopinvalseop42]

@abbygirldelrosario I feel like teachers have not been able to teach her for quite some time considering her talent at only 15...

[abbygirldelrosario]

@chopinvalseop42 i mean like her teacher then :3

[greybeardd]

Look at her go! The promise was there at such a young age. She is indeed the talent of our times.

[yoobinist]

i still can't play that fast with that gorgeous sound.... :(

[Sophiestelle]

Wonderful, dear Hilary!

[fleeb747]

Omg im 16, and im still learning this wonderful piece

[TheMminoo]

you are kidding me? :-O

[Balmung115]

"Crap...more competition..."

-Violinist sitting behind Hilary Hahn during this performance

[McSplat]

@Balmung115 if he's sitting there that means he gave up being a soloist a long time ago..

[AndromedaAiken]

@Balmung115 Hahaha!!!

[xWoodnStrings]

Anybody know where the sheet music for this piece can be found? Thanks.

[juliosanchezt]

Bach is amazing and so is her, too. ;-)

[DaCapo2010]

very very good indeed

[AleiramEllimac143]

I'm 15 but... damn, but my playing is totally... omg. O_O

[Davinp123]

All i have is one question, who was her teacher lol

[TheCharlesfastiggi]

Holy jesus...i can only play this half the speed the she is playing it without messing up.

[LordMSh]

This is like charging at enemy ranks at full force, no prisoners. Such powerful performance, thanks for sharing.

[oXoBeansOnToastoXo]

mind-blowing. I was born that year, who knew my birth year was quite so amazing..

[528Lizzy]

this is amazing i went to state for my violin solo and man do i wish i played this........ thanks for showing me what this piece can sound like i will be playin it this year!!!

[Johannesbaerli]

Thank you, Hilary ... i am crying :.-(

[LadyInDaHouse88]

First big concert in front of an audience and she seems so fearless! Respect!

[angumus]

me encanta, desde siempre tan fresca su música, tan entregada, sencilla, natural... me encantan sus interpretaciones...gracias Hilary!

[voxhunden]

Beautiful!

[TheGods1marine]

:~O

yeah that's all i have to say

[xcorm]

Thanks to Hilary Hahn it's the first time I hear the authentic music of JS.Bach in its pure respect

[jenniferparkermusic]

GOOD LORD...that is CRAZY fast. wow. just wow.

[thebrillantgreenful]

maGnigIGUE in d minor :D

god bless you Hilary.

[Pipixcan69]

The envy from the violinists sitting behind !!



[cabinthewoods90]

@Pipixcan69 hahah agree, they're all probably thinking ``That little bitch is a genius!!!´´

[esaro77]

Obviously she has always had a great technique but I think she has improved her interpretation as she has grown up; I personally enjoy both times of her career but I think the more romantic interpretation of Bach that she perfoms now touches deeper than the one when she was 15. Anyway to me she's the best!

[pcliu0]

@esaro77

sorry, but to me she touches barely any deeper than she was 15

it's sad to see how condescension, ignorance and fame lead potential astray

[paufeu]

stunning!

[surfboy]

She runs off the stage.  How cute!

[catherina9611]

0.0 I'm fifteen and playing this piece, I could only dream I could play it that good. She really is an example for me, amazing video (:

[DesiFuyuko]

I like the clothing, the clothing in the 90s was so pretty and colorful

[ThePerfectAngelGirl]

@DesiFuyuko if your watching this, you should be *listening* for the music. if you want to look at the way people dress, go watch something else. just sayin'

[DesiFuyuko]

@ThePerfectAngelGirl What do you mean? :P Hilary Hahn is one of my favortie violinist, she plays Bach so well and I adore her clothing here, so I wanted to say it. I grew up in the 90s and the clothes were so pretty and colorful, maybe you're younger and don't know what I'm talking about. But I do think her dress is so pretty. I'm just sayin'

[aznbluefyre12]

hahaa is it just me or the video doesn't match the sound?

[ninaflute]

wow.

[redjoemond]

love watching videos then realizsing its not in english music is the universial language

[archrelyrist]

Hilary is my favourite violinist! Awesome job! I'm playing this in two days at my recital- and i am definitely going to have to work up the tempo!

[violinimprovmama]

Amazing, but too fast for me to enjoy.

[TheFrancescaViolin]

She looks so happy at the end! :)

[datastrogatz]

where to find DVD record this?

[Imbetterthanmost]

she played this FAST... I've never heard this piece played so fast, and so well

[DraqMaster]

@Imbetterthanmost That's what happens when you practice Bach every day since you were 8 years old. Absolutely amazing!!!!

[veidhleadoir]

OMGGGGG she's sooo cute!

Like when she plays Bach <3

[sosome57]

OMG. And now she's 16 years on.

[opheliackirsche13]

¿Cuántos años tenia Hilary Hahn en ese video ?

[MrRiR1]

@opheliackirsche13 it's from 1995, 15 years old

[opheliackirsche13]

@MrRiR1 ooooo thanks.... gracias ^^

n_____n

[TheTucsonJeff]

@MrRiR1 Since encore performances are not published as part of a concert program, it is quite customary and standard protocol for a performer to announce the name and composer of the piece they're going to play as an encore.

[TheTucsonJeff]

@MrRiR1 Please disregard the "reply" you might have received from me. It was intended for someone else. Sorry.

[MrRiR1]

@TheTucsonJeff no problem

[astrogirl1231]

this is AMAZING! being a young violinist, it almost makes me feel depressed. :)

[jhouse770]

her movement throughout the piece is amazing...she has progressed marvelously

[freqtrav]

Cute how she told the audience the name of the piece!

[sophelet]

@freqtrav She announced it because it was an encore, not printed in the program. This is customary.

[ilovezuerich]

@freqtrav yes like she would be angry haha :) she is great!

[eleninamyers]

Wow, it's like Bach strapped on a rocketpack and took off!

[astrogirl1231]

@eleninamyers

i know, right?
