You forgot to add: Augustin Hadelich, page turner.

[LS-Violin]

He is even able to accompany HIMSELF on the piano... Like dude

[alexsaldarriaga]

Just like Heifetz set a new standard of violin playing for the 20th century, Hadelich has set a new standard for the 21st century. This rendition of the Scherzo Tarantella is one for the ages!

Fabulous! These Augustin² recordings as well as the Ask Augustin masterclasses are the highlights of my quarantine time.

I love how Augustin manages to put the perfect amount of vibrato on the last note of each phrase of the theme. It makes all the difference.

[philipgregorysougles]

Wieniawski is so underrated by non-violinists. His melodies are like flawless brilliant diamonds, reflecting emotion like light!

[rachelwyse]

I literally applauded when it was done. Sorry to my neighbors at 1am, but that was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much, Augustin!

His technique and decisiveness of each motion reminds me of Leonid Kogan. Indeed the top 1 percentile of the greatest violinists of this century! Julliard's pride!

[ИринаШкира-ье]

Искры летят из-под пальцев! И аккомпанемент на фортепиано тоже сам играет! Браво, Маэстро Августин!

[InvigoratedSewerRat]

His harmonics sound like a gentle whistle, and double stops so clean you could eat off of 'em.

[JG-tdqw]

So clean and pure.
The violin is an extension of his body.

Every cloud has a silver lining, and discovering Mr Hadelich's recordings during lockdown is one example. He is giving Julia Fischer a serious run for her money as a pianist too.

[wisefix]

Not only a violin virtuoso, as if that in it of itself is not amazing enough, but he is also a darn good pianist? It's official, he is my new musical hero.

[SheDreadsElectionYears]

HANDS DOWN, this is the BEST recording of this piece on YouTube. That he accompanied himself is making my brain explode. Thank you! What kind of beautiful world do we live in where we get to hear this incredible music even during a pandemic. <3

[Inu]

This pieces always reminds me that Japanese prodigy girl that 2 set reviewed. Even though this recording is a totally different level.

[Gcor]

I just watched a girl on a Ted talk try to play this- this wasn’t trying, this was perfecting!!

[kovoliver]

Finally, someone who plays this music piece well, and not out of tune... I love this music piece.

[rudyalvarez]

What an amazing musician. The only criticism is that he makes the piece look easy to perform. In reality, there are only a handful of musicians in the world that can play at this level. This is extraordinary and amazing. Bravo!

[johnsoloninka]

Ok..ok..ok. So NOT ONLY does Augustin play INCREDIBLY MUSICALLY, VIRTUOSICALLY, making us all want to just stop playing...he adds insult to injury with wonderful, sensitive collaborative piano!! Just wonderful!!

[fgorlando]

One of the only good things about this quarantine... we are able to watch a living legend record videos that will undoubtedly always be benchmark performances. Wow
