I can' beleive how stupid some of these comments are.

If the people complaining about her perceived lack of emotion it's because many in the U.S.have issues with real deep emotion and only can see/accept emotion rendered in gross materialistic facial expressions and physical body movements. There's deep spiritual emotion in her music-making.

@artcalight13 cmon man, don't just pin the US..im sure plenty of people in europe, asia, wherever feel the same way. just because someone posts something stupid (a teenager nonetheless) thats not an invitation for your "insight"

When your technique is flawless, it always looks easier than it really is. After all, that's the whole point to achieve physical ease so you can focus on the interpretation.

@artcalight13 If facial expressions equaled emotion, then Leila Josefowicz's recording of the Bruch Violin Concerto would indisputably be the best and most emotional. While I find it very much to my liking, I know some don't.

I think that, perhaps, instead of ridiculous facial expressions, such as Ms. Josefowicz's, Ms. Hahn instead chooses to put her concentration fully into her playing.

You can talk about it all you want but have a go on the violin and try this and I wish you all the best. I play professionally all my life but this is magic!

I can not believe how great this is !!!

@artcalight13 you are absolutely correct. music like this is made to be deep and you just have to listen to understand how deep it really is. she puts so much emotion in, it's amazing!

[mcfriz123]

@ggalexhutchings that's awesome! i saw her live in october, and she's absolutely wonderful! she's got the most wonderfully clear intonation.

[mcfriz123]

she's absolutely incredible!

@ggalexhutchings must have been exciting. what orchestra were you in? also, for anyone out there who thinks HK doesn't emote because she doesn't contort her face or writhe around like Jennifer Koh or Joshua Bell (whom I have seen/heard play live), consider Itzhak Perlman, arguably the greatest living classical violinist: he can't writhe. the passion HK's artistry is heard - just close your eyes and listen.
