    Thank you very much for your incredible performance: I've listened to several great virtuosos performed this Fugue; I love your Fuga the best...very uniquely "Augustin." 1st time witnessing anyone playing this Fugue with a baroque bow...WOW. I also like the effect of double trill at the end of Grave :)

    Seriously sick... is how your competition must be feeling. This is a new high for this piece with a really extraordinary interpretation. Bach is smiling and shouting: that's it, that's exactly it !

  • @424464

    Absolutely magnificent - a fugue on the violin actually sounding like a fugue (a four part one at that) and facilitated by Hadelich's flawless technique using a Guarneri violin and Baroque bow - brilliant.

    Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The period bow really adds to the sound and the nuances it makes possible. Augustin's intonation and musicality continue to astound me. Seeing these sounds produced on a video is incredibly valuable. They show that a human is actually producing them and how, and what a wonderful human, one who turns trials into sources of depth, humility, incredible competence, and stunning beauty.

    I keep returning to your Bach interpretations. I deeply love Hilary Hahn's versions and they opened Bach for me yet again with new ears. But your interpretations are so incredibly clear and warm. I love the way you break the chords and the softness of your more silent pieces. This violin also sounds especially beautiful together with this bow.
    I know, its a bit stupid to compare artists and there is no "better" in my eye. Each time has their fashions and approaches. I just really, really love the rich, controled, emotional color you crafted. I would love to hear Biber's Passacaglia in this kind of warm, controlled sound.

      It relieves extra tension. I'm practicing on having that gap as well and my whole hand is so much more free and relaxed and I get beautiful vibrato. The only thing is that my intonation will suffer cause I don't have much reference as I do when I place my inner index finger on the neck. But I'm practicing a lot so that will be fixed soon❣
