i just love the way you play. I saw you when u played it here in Puerto Rico last year, since then i fell in love with the piece. My friend Valeria took some lessons with you this summer and i would love to take some lessons too. You are a great violinist and God bless your talent!!!! Ana from Puerto Rico

[RachelBartonPine]

Hi, Ana, good luck with your violin playing and thanks for writing! :)

I would like to have coffee with her sometime.

[RachelBartonPine]

I never drank caffeine in my life (have to keep those violin-playing reflexes clean!), but I hope we get to meet some day after a concert. :)

Bruch must have been feeling SO depressed when he composed this music! It sounds very sad, very mournful...almost feels like you're at somebody's funeral and you hear this being played there. And then gradually it sounds more cheerful towards the end...:-)

Every time I hear a new recording of Rachel's I am struck by the emotion and warmth in the playing.

[BBRENTTAGHAPP]

You are amazing. I love your passion and technique! Hopefully, I'll get to see you perform live one day! :D

[ainefidileir]

You'd be bloody brilliant at playing traditional Scottish tunes.

i've noticed that in a lot of your videos you sit down while you play! why do sit? i like your playing!
