@@Drachenschnauze Probably not, his rendition of this piece is recorded and quite laid back regarding technical terms. It seems old Pablo was playing music for fun, not for perfection.
I agree he is a marvel of a performer, but when you are as advanced in age as I am, you’ve heard so many violinists perform this beautiful composition. Never compare artists or play them against each other. Just enjoy their God given talent. It’s hours and hours of hard work to get to this level of ability.
He is an incredible musican - much more than "only" one of the best or best violinist. His musicality and technical precision are so "natural", individual and impressive - i think that makes him so special.
Idk if anyone can be called "the best" but he is always consistently veeeeeery good. I prefer individual pieces by others, but he is always in the top 3 (imo) for almost any piece I've heard him play. Masssssive respects
Augustin, your playing may be the best I've ever heard. Your intonation is astounding, and I don't think your techical facility will ever be exceeded. Breathtaking, sensitive, sincere, and humble. You have been through some terrible things. Like Perlman's polio, your burn injuries seem to have brought out something warm and almost divine. You are a blessing to mankind. God bless you.
There is a depth of soul that only comes through hardship. People ask if there *is* a God, why He allows horrible things to happen to good people. This is my answer. I had a period of great suffering that felt like punishment but now I realize why it had to happen... and I'm no virtuoso. It's called the Refiner's Fire, and Augustin is pure gold. Not only as a musician, but from what I've seen it's as a human being as well.
@@elizabethf8078 I recall Perlman saying that after his polio he realized he had no other way but the violin. He's a big strong guy, maybe he wanted to be an athlete, but then his choices vanished.
I doubt Itzhak or Augustin would agree that their respective impediments brought anything to their music. Its just hard work honesty towards your own product. No fake grandeur or fake humility. You play, you listen, you fix. For years and years. And in the last inch... the talent makes the difference. Some people can achieve 99%, but only a few can do 100%. That said. I cry every time I listen to Augustin. I am so humbled by his mastery I want to hide in a corner and never touch the instrument again. My heart and brain want this sound, but my hands can not produce it. Not in a million years. My playing is a pale shadow of real violin playing. But at least I was alive to hear these masters play. I have to be thankful for that.
That finishing sequence is absurd. There are a lot of other fantastic violin players that more than do this piece justice. But those last measures here... Augustin is on another level.
Wow, so much of this piece is about the rubato, and so few violinists really seem to get that. This one is perfect. The agressive yet tender Gypsy character comes alive. Wonderful!
I just stumbled on him a few days ago after seeing miss Mississippi butcher zapateado. In the comments, someone mentioned him and I checked him out and fell in love!
This interpretation is simply breathtaking, there are no words to describe how great his playing is. But I just want to point out how great piano accompanist is following him, it's like he feels every note Augustin will play and just blends into it. Incredible combination of two talents.
There are currently some great violinists but this man brings something EXTRA to the stage. Don't know what you call it. Genius isn't quite enough somehow. . .
Wow!!! I have heard every major and minor artist play this - Francescatti, Heifetz, Elman, Stern, Josefowicz, Bell, Oistrakh, Markov, Lendvay, Panfili, Grumiaux, Nadien, Zukerman, Rabin, Kogan, Zalai, Midori, etc., etc., etc. - and I am absolutely certain it cannot be played any better.
@@generalsnicky3219 beat me up to it. Ithzak Perlman is more balanced and his intonation is just flawless, but Hadelich is way more powerful. I like this one better because Augustin's playing just catches you and inmerses you into a different world; his rendition is just more soulful to me. Just listen to his many renditions of the Mendelsohnn Violin Concerto and you'll get what I'm saying. . . . Less-known artists playing Zigeunerweisen: Try SoHyung Ko's Heifetz Competition 2018 - czcams.com/video/kmV2hj-I7Xo/video.html
He’s so gentle with the violin yet he demands a lot from it. Its like his violin gets lessons from him and every new video the instrument learned something new.
Это просто великолепно! Эти музыканты сначала вывернули мне всю душу наизнанку, а потом заставили плясать от счастья! Просто потрясающие! И скрипач, и пианист - идеальный дуэт! Спасибо!
We are a musical family. Both my daughters play piano my son is a violinist my husband plays piano and I did back in the day. We had tickets to hear Augustin play but because of the pandemic show was canceled. My son is a total perlman fan and we saw him recently and I just love Augustin. I don't know just the way he plays and the emotion it just gets to me. I hope to hear him play live.
Yes, and it's not by Sarasate...he, well, "borrowed" it... czcams.com/video/IWzsp2v13Bw/video.html It's a composition by Elemér Szentirmay, a song called „Csak egy szép lány van a világon“. www.henle.de/blog/de/2013/08/19/geklaute-melodien-%E2%80%93-sarasates-%E2%80%9Ezigeunerweisen%E2%80%9C-unter-plagiatsverdacht/ What I find remarkable is, that Sarasates gypsy airs have no relationship to the music of the spanish Calés...that it's only based on ungarian folkmusic which was played by ungarian roma.
Pensaba en mi vida que ya había visto todo ........después de verte ejecutar con tan pasión.........pienso .....ahora sí....ya no hay nada más GRANDE.... increíble
I was supposed to go see him live one weekend but I got stuck in a different state for work unfortunately I missed that golden opportunity to see him play in Jersey I'm so bummed out I hope there will be another chance
This music is alive! I am so impressed by the ability to play with such technique and heart at the same time. His other music from different eras is just as exciting. I am truly grateful!
Un violinista completo, absolutamente top, sucesor de los grandes, Heifetz, Oistrach, Francescatti, Milstein, Szering, Grimiaux, Rabin u Perlman, el tiene técnicamente un poco de todos, pero un personalidad propia.
I liked classical before and was a huge fan of the piano. My introduction into the violin world was with Chloe Chua and she really made me go so much deeper into classical music! I thought it couldn't get any better than her and then I stumbled on to Augustin and it got better lol he is so amazing and is now my favorite violinist! I can't stop watching his videos! I like them before I even listen because I know they're going to be good!
I started this piece and also Scherzo & Tarentelle. I've done pieces at this level before, so I'm like "huh, really can't be that hard! certainly i can do this!" As soon as I listened to recordings of this and Scherzo and Tarentelle, my confidence went down sm. Just listening to this tells me how much work I will have to put, a lot of repetition especially for the runs. god, i'm dead.
His left hand pizzicato at 7:00 is just too clean. When others play it, the difference left hand pizzicato and spiccato is very audible, but when here it's almost indistinguishable
He visto muchas interpretaciones de esta obra, para poder ejecutarla, y esta me ha gustado mucho, tiene un sonido muy limpio y veo mucha seguridad, no es precipitado, lo que le da un aura de sosiego. El Allegro molto vivace, de igual manera, tiene un sonido muy limpio a pesar de la fugacidad que requiere.
I can see Pablo looking on rolling his mustache in approval saying "Well another one finally got it right!"!! Bravo sir!!
Yes haha
Yes
Were he so critical?
@@Drachenschnauze Probably not, his rendition of this piece is recorded and quite laid back regarding technical terms. It seems old Pablo was playing music for fun, not for perfection.
In many scores it's actually written that Sarasate incouraged different interpretations and styles to best emulate the so called 'gipsy music'.
i just discovered this artist and cannot listen enough, he gives the violin literal "soul"
When all this covid business is over, go see him live. The energy he exudes is incomparable
.
He is wonderful!!
That happened also to me, as It did with Collier
And also Amy
I love Akira’s accompaniment. He helps Augustine shine.
No one can make those clear high notes sing like this man.
Indeed, I believe you need a flawless technique and a very fine Instrument for that
I agree he is a marvel of a performer, but when you are as advanced in age as I am, you’ve heard so many violinists perform this beautiful composition. Never compare artists or play them against each other. Just enjoy their God given talent. It’s hours and hours of hard work to get to this level of ability.
Nobody exept Heifetz.
Awesome. I think he is the best violinist alive. I could listen to him all day.
I sometimes do. Especially now.
Elizabeth F me, too!❤️
Yuko Shimokawa amen, to that!
He is an incredible musican - much more than "only" one of the best or best violinist. His musicality and technical precision are so "natural", individual and impressive - i think that makes him so special.

So well put. Beautiful sentiment to Augustin.

exactly sir
pafcook I get it now, ever since I listened to his explanation on “Ask Augustin”. I’m really enjoying learning about what I’m hearing.
so deep and attractive, only great soul can play like this

I could literally listen to him all day. His CD is phenomenal too.

My favorite violinist. His Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso is just perfect.
Literally tho
Absolutely. I used to think Perlman had my favorite interpretation, but his is better imo.
He is amazing!!! I love the way he plays the violín!!!
Wow!!! I have heard every major and minor artist play this - Francescatti, Heifetz, Elman, Stern, Josefowicz, Bell, Oistrakh, Markov, Lendvay, Panfili, Grumiaux, Nadien, Zukerman, Rabin, Kogan, Zalai, Midori, etc., etc., etc. - and I am absolutely certain it cannot be played any better.
Perlman's version is slightly more playful but another one I like. Can you recommend renditions by minor artists?

Ida Haendel 1940? :D
AMEN.
Oh my... Just realized my violinist idol Ida Haendel has passed in the past weeks. What a loss! 😢
He’s so gentle with the violin yet he demands a lot from it. Its like his violin gets lessons from him and every new video the instrument learned something new.
Also love the fashion sense.
The violin sings so beautifully when he plays. It almost sounds human.
Passionate while not heavy-handed. So many mistake passion for steamrolling. Perfect as usual, Augustin.. And from 7:00 on I was in tears.
Wow, I love that super-sharp staccato!! Excellent performance (as is usual for Augustin!!)!!
Same here! I’ve never heard anything quite as super sharp at speed. 😲
Atemberaubend schön !! Breathtaking !! Ich kann mich den Bravorufen nur anschließen ...........
Impressionnant de précision, de justesse et de nuances, une interprétation magistrale! 👏👏👏
Это просто великолепно! Эти музыканты сначала вывернули мне всю душу наизнанку, а потом заставили плясать от счастья! Просто потрясающие! И скрипач, и пианист - идеальный дуэт!
Спасибо!
His music has a soul, beautiful one.
His playing is so emotional 😭😭😭
Honestly, only two performances of zigeunerweisen that have blown my socks off, this one and Sohyun Ko.
No idea how i have not heard of Augustin... one of my fav now! BRAVO!!!!!

Pure musical and technical conviction in any note! Great!
7:10 - I got chills.
I am blown away. Simply fantastic!!
Beautiful and expressive in all sound register! Magical phrasing and interpretation! So much stories and emotions! Thank you for your music 🙏❤👏
Hadelich, talento planetario !
That camerawork is nothing short of breathtaking
4:12 This makes me want to cry every time, the pain reaches my soul. The most tender, soulful, and poignant melody, that I have ever heard.

So technically clean and light. Amazing mood and intonation.
Amazing!
one of the most beautifully played, goose bump producing version of Sarasate Zigeunerweisen. Thank you!
Augustine, you played this into my soul…thank you…
May God bless you, you are amazing ♡
Rondo caprichso. .❤ Mejico.
Yours is my most favourite "view" of this piece. You have true soul, and your accompanist is amazing! Vitruostic, deep, and beautiful... :)
The ending was my favorite part! I had so much fun imagining that I was playing
идеально просто нет слов👍👍👍👏👏👏
Beautiful.
Muchas gracias.
As always, flawless. 🎻👍👍
I love this piece! Cannot hear it enough, and it keeps me coming back for more! So well done!❤️

Bravissimo!!! Il migliore! Grande!!!!!!
fantastic, sounds like the old violinists 🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That piece makes me feel weak.. The way you play makes my heart melting..
Cada vez que lo escucho , más me parece el mejor violinista qué hay ahora .
Incredible!!
So correct that all the fire of the music comes through.
Bravi, bravi, bravi!!!!????!!! Das ist wunderbar!!??!!
Mastering this piece of music prove that you master the violin.
This is amazing!!! So very beautiful, thank you maestro 💎Augustin Hodelich ! Bravo !❤🌟🎻🎶👏🌹🌹🌹
