Ah it's very pleasant when the solo violin sings so and is so unhurried at the start of the piece.

This concert with Chad Hoopes is so incredibly intoxicating, that I have been listening to it every night before I retire. Such rich texture in his notes, the changes in tempo so pronounced in his rendition of this magnificent concerto that I’m speechless. Simply beautiful!

[irisce]

Excellent playing. Shocked I've never heard this man before. He is a former junior division 1st prize winner of the Menuhin Competition in 2008

[metatron]

So soulful, he never hurries the note and the phrase and it becomes so expressive

[BryanHo]

Love the slower tempo in the first movement than is usually taken, really brings out the beauty in the music.

[thestarwarsmusiccomposer]

Honestly one of the best violinkonzert in humanities history

[kevinv.m.]

This is the first time that I enjoyed listening to this concerto. I just felt the story of the music which I did not realize in the recordings of other violinists. His really made the music to stand out. He "speaks" the music, not of himself.

[luceestpace]

Very good and interesting interpretation of this amazing concerto. No cliche, not too fast, passionate and singed. Congrats to everyone!!

[alexsaldarriaga]

This young violinist is special and worth watching out for. He has something unique and refreshing to say about this often-played masterpiece. I love his sound. And his technique and musicality are exquisite. Bravo!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Is he wearing SPARKLY SHOES?! amazing!!

[hannawagenknecht]

Wunderschön, traumhaft schön gespielt, vielen Dank.

[giancitton]

Splendido concerto con un eccellente violinista: una giovane promessa ! Sempre eccezionale l'orchestra di Francoforte. BRAVI !!!

[arekkrolak]

the violin player is amazing, he is also dressed like a spy!

[alanasher]

Mr. Hoopes let the music speak for itself without overplaying or making too much of every musical gesture. His bow technique is tremendous. The orchestra is superb.

[arsnova]

Conductor: starts at normal tempo
Soloist: n o p e, this is going to be better than normal.

[VIOVIO]

Man.... such a great performance, so calm and rich tunes.

[swantjetauscher]

Fantastischer Geiger, Dirigent und Orchester 🌟 Eine Freude zuzuhören!

[ronaldbwoodall]

An overly-familiar work such as this which can fall on jaded ears needs a performance such as this that brings a fresh interpretation and perspective, with an almost excessive expressivity that suits the Concerto perfectly. Hoopes has an elegant tone and style that reminds me of Isaac Stern or Aaron Rosand.

[Scott-StLouis]

The performance is flawless. And the shoes. Love it all!
