    I wish there was a 2017 or 2018 full recording of her Tchaikovsky vc, I bought her « old » recording but it’s kind of flat. These excerpts show a much more romantic approach that seems beautiful

    • @miguelcoelho3877
      @miguelcoelho3877 Před 5 lety +2

      I agree, Jean de la Croix, but I also think that the flatness of that recording has less to do with HH's playing and more to do with the sound engineer at the mixing desk, the acoustics of the room, the positioning of the microphones, the digital "sound", which tends to sound a bit flat anyway, etc. What I'm trying to say is this: there are so many variables to be taken into consideration when issuing the "perfect" recording that makes it extremely difficult to achieve. Not wanting to be nitpicking here but I would love to see Hilary Hahn's recordings being issued on vinyl, preferably for Decca or Teldec. I mean no disrespect to the Deutch Grammophon but having a vast number of classic recordings on vinyl from the late 1960s, '70s, and '80s on both Decca and DG (as well as several others from other well-established recording companies) I can tell the difference. Of course, much of this can be a bit subjective and amounts to personal preferences. And no matter the practical aspects to digital including the commercial ones, (and internet availability) nothing beats the sound of a well-recorded, well pressed vinyl through a good pickup (sound cartridge, as it is known today) going through a good record player and sound equipment, IMHO.

    I loved this! It is easy for the average listener to just assume greatness happens easily. Not true. It is the result of many sometimes grueling hours spent alone working and working… and working.

    I saw an interview with her in which she said she never practices more than three hours a day, though I'm guessing there were periods in her development when she was practicing more.

    Interesting - @min. 1:58 - mirror practicing adds a visual subconscious memory to your muscle memory; that is, an additional point of focus missing without mirror practicing.

    Tchaicowsky made the BEST violin concert of all ( despite he was not a violinist) and Hilary is the most beautiful little sweet babe violinist of all

    Who would not stop their own playing for hearing Hilary Hahn practice?

    Her face looks like mine when I'm doing scales, almost bored, but she's playing things that I wish I could play.
