Quite frankly, this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever listened to in my entire existence.
Mr. Hadelich is the living embodiment of violin virtuoso.
He’s my favorite indulgence In my life.

[brandonaponte]

Absolute chills. Best violinist of our modern generation.

I have never heard greater clarity from any violinist than Augustin on those runs in the cadenza in the first movement. His technique is astonishing!

[tttenebre]

his tone and phrasing on the second movement. nothing in the world compares

Good-bye and best wishes, Mr. Orozco-Estrada — thank you for all the music you made with the hr-Sinfonieorchester!

I'm not quite sure what I just heard, but I have never heard this concerto played like this. I knew Augustin Hadelich was a world-class violinist from the first note - that was never in question - what I was not expecting was a performance that was so artfully sculpted and played with a level of nuance. It is usually the second movement, strangely enough, that I pay close attention to. First it was the falling notes at 22:56 - and then some where after finishing one of the phrases around 25:47, I could no longer hold it together and tears started falling from my face. The camera work was getting on my nerves so I closed my eyes, and perhaps, that helped me focus even more - but even still, I noticed that he played certain parts in an extremely understated fashion, thereby increasing the effect. The only thing I can think to compare it to is Chekhov. Chekhov can describe the most horrific events in the most deadpan fashion, and if you're really paying attention, some of his stories are heartbreaking and almost unbearable to read. This sort of happened in the first movement where I needed to stop the video to actually take in what I had heard. Man, I don't know what else to say. To say this was brilliant would be cliche.

Phenomenal technique coupled with tremendously sensitive and thoughtful musicality.

[emilyhutjes]

What a wonderful performance and an absolute great sound recording. Well done and thank you all. 🌷🌷🌷 Holland. ( 2024 July)

[xxathenacraftsxx]

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular,

[krakenkrispykremelivinthedream]

this was very good, but it got even better when violas got a good part in the first movement

[bomcabedal]

Camera focusing perhaps a bit too much on architecture? Still, the sound engineers have done a stellar job, as everyone knows who ever chewed through this venue's cavernous acoustics.

[fredericchopin]

one of the best performance ive come across. the orchestra is amazing

[nickyork]

Fantastic all round. Hadelich is one of my very favourite musicians and what a superb violinist...the combination with Andres Orozco-Estrada and the HR Sinfonieorchester, the best orchestra in the world in my view, is a real treat. Also a very nice viola solo in the first mvt!

[jestemqiqi]

Atemberaubende Aufführung dieses expressiven Violinkonzerts durch den erstklassigen Solisten und das erfahrene Orchester. Einfach wunderbar!

[bradfordrick]

It's so wonderful to see this music performed before an audience in attendance. Caution is evident, but the beautiful music lives. Thank you Maestro Orozco-Estrada and thank you Maestro Hadelich!

[ianhuangncubed]

Hadelich is such a well-rounded violinist. I can always rest easy knowing that he's gonna nail it.

[gundasauthof]
