G. F. Händel / Johan Halvorsen: Passacaglia Augustin Hadelich, violin Efe Baltacıgil, cello Socially distanced performance in April 2020 during Covid19 hiatus
Hadelich is one of the best all time. What I love is unlike some other legends he seems to retain the great attitude and curiousity and passion, he takes risks and puts out a lot of novel pieces, explores new things like American folk, and is playing with solo arrangements for multi-instrumental pieces. He's laying down benchmark recordings and moving the instrument forward at the same time. And he's everywhere. Man does he work hard.
Dear Mr. Hadelich and dear Mr Baltacigil, Your performance ist really wonderful, extremely well played and very soulful connecting passages full of delicacy, tenderness, ligt, joy and passion. I appreciate your tremendous musicianship. Thank you so much for sharing and stay healthy.
Magical, thank you ! I feel sorry, that you dont see the tears and the air of amazement in the eyes of your public. What a marvellous performance as well as a technical tour de force. Fun fact, the CZcams view counter turns only once even if you listen 15 times. I cannot stop listening and watching. Anyone else find this performance mesmerising?
Augustin, you are fast making your way into my heart. Your playing is is not TRYING to pop. It just *exists* in a timeless state as if mocking the modern violin race. Also - having just worked with 6 other musicians on a corona-distanced recording myself - you both did a tremendous job sounding coherent. BRAVI!

One of the finest performances of "chamber music at a distance" on the internet in the world today. In addition to the bravura playing, the need to sync (by rehearsing back and forth over several renditions) without using mirror neurons in real time (the way musicians playing in situ normally do) has created a fresh and thrilling togetherness--different and unexpected--that opens the score to the ear in a new way. THANK YOU!!
I've never heard the variation 5:46 done this way before! It was so incredibly exciting!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo and thank you for always reminding me and many other classical musicians that the possibilities are endless!
I just don’t think there’s anything out there more thrilling than when this guy picks up his violin...... It is nice to hear this duet with all the interplay. Incredible how they manage to blend given the distance between them.
Thank you so much Augustin and Efe, I really really enjoyed listening to you both play so beautifully and with such amazing passion and sensitivity and vigorous too. That was such a pretty piece of music 🎶 I really really love ❤️ it. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Wow, this is absolutely incredible! The musicianship and expression are wonderful, and I appreciate you sharing in the middle of all this craziness! The first time I ever heard this piece played was by my violin professor and the cello professor at my college, and at the pizzicato (the last one, at 1:29), she broke her E string! She was back on stage in two minutes, and they went from the top-and it was amazing!
This is a dream, it's so beautiful... I tried to play the first variation during confinement but i'm not on that level yet sadly so I'll just listen to this endlessly!
I’m honestly kind of offended you didn’t learn to play the cello for this
I must say that Augustin has a special and wonderful musical soul! I love to listen to him!

Wonderful piece of music. Wonderful performance. Thanks

Out of every single variation I’ve heard, this is the one that I turn to time and time again. Simply outstanding!
Super beautiful duet performance...a really nice change of pace. Mesmerizing match! I enjoyed it to the max :)
I feel blessed every time I hear this beautiful music. It is ethereal.

Steve Creswell well put

vishnu ramankutty agreed!
It kinda reminds me of a horde of galloping animals
Magistral!!!!
Complex and dynamic - oceans apart and still one of the best renditions.
Vibrato synch [3:19] particularly appealing. Amazing finish [5:17] !
5:45 his right hand is a blur. its literally a blur. this hadelich guy is my new favorite
Gracias Hendel por haber nacido y el violin y el chelo Exelente. gracias a. Dios porvel talento de quienes interpretar a la perccion BRAVO !!!!
This is the best passacaglia so far.
I just don’t think there’s anything out there more thrilling than when this guy picks up his violin......

Thank you so much for this. I can't stop listening. Over and over again.

Друзья, Вы великолепны!!! 👏👏👏
Incredible playing and an incredible recording under incredible circumstances.
Kudos to both musicians...very well matched. Both on the same page literally and figuratively and a beautiful performance👏👏👍😍
By far the best recording I’ve seen! I can’t even describe how good it is. Hadelich’s technique is just perfect.

So good!! I love this piece! Great job
Sem dúvida do melhor que temos!
mr.Agustin , the MASTER !!
What was that !!! A complete different way to play hadelich, you are completly at another level hahaha bravo!!!!!
I literally just performed with Efe Fall quarter at CWU! He's great to perform with!
Excellent as always 🤩
I just have no words...
Thanks for great job! Pleasure and gratitude
🤗🎻🎶 Simplemente Maravilloso?!!🙏👏🏻
How did you ensemble so well? Did you play and record and then Efe performed with the recording? or vice versa?
They FaceTimed with a nokia
Most enjoyable, uplifting and inspiring!
Someone first records and sends the recording to the other person for reference.
Actually, it is a rather poor ensemble in my opinion ;/
Firstly Hadelich played and Baltacıgil played with it. Then Hadelich played with Baltacıgil's recording.
ufffff man!!!! the cello is gorgeous!!! beautiful piece, congrats!
Mükemmelll
