Recorded live on January 26 2020 in Orchestra Hall, Detroit Francisco Tárrega: Recuerdos de la Alhambra (arrangement by Ruggero Ricci) Augustin Hadelich, violin
@@serendrixsan9191 ricochet it self may not be very hard but with those complex fingerings and constant string crossings.. even many famous soloists wouldn’t be able to play like him
Earnest Blofeld he bows up one, and bounces it down three, being sure to make up for the downward bow bounces with a good up bow, so as to not run out of bow! Be sure and watch his virtual concerts where he tells some his trade secrets.❤️
Performed with him this summer and he played the Bruch and followed the performance with this encore and the second he played the first note I knew what he was playing and just was in shock and awe the entire time. Can't believe I got to sit less than 10 feet away from him for it.
I play Classical Guitar, and it was fascinating and enjoyably to hear this guitar standard played so we'll on the violin. The "tremolo" picking technique is highly idiomatic to the guitar. Despite that, Mr Hadelich brings his impressive technique and musicality to make the music dance nimbly on the violin strings. Quite an achievement. Bravo
Maybe I'm just too used to hearing this on the guitar, but what should otherwise be a sonorous and melodic tremolo of a guitar seems to be replaced with some rather shrill, grating squeaks of a violin. Hadelich is clearly talented, but some pieces just don't translate well on other instruments. I much prefer Paganini's caprices on violin over adaptations for the guitar, for instance.
Il tremolo è una tecnica chitarristica consistente nel ribattere la stessa nota con generalmente tre dita della mano destra, ottenendo un prolungamento del suono, cioè delle note lunghe che nella chitarra sono impossibili visto che le corde sono pizzicate. Riprodurre l'effetto sul violino è paradossale e geniale nello stesso tempo. Un grande omaggio alla chitarra classica da un prodigio vivente. Paganini fu un virtuoso e prolifico compositore per chitarra.
The clarity… the tone… that insane left hand and arm control… Augustin is truly ahead of our generation. This is easily one of the best performances of the left hand and arm
There are a couple amazing feats going on here: Augustin's performance and the orchestra members somehow managing not to have their jaws dropped open for the whole thing. Because I was 😮for the whole thing.
I can tell you from personal experience that when you are in an orchestra you don’t like having to play a concerto or pice with a soloist. And generally when the soloist plays an encore even a soloist like haedlich people think its a waste of their time to sit on stage like that, hence their judgmental and ironic faces in this case it was a great performance so they probably liked it better but a jaw drop would never come out from them.
I find this reaction very odd. When I played in my school orchestra I loved concertos and encores, it was so inspirational to watch (and participate!) I can maybe understand that it is boring to play Tschaikowsky for the 100th time, but this encore was so unique, fascinating to listen to.
Hadelich is quickly becoming one of my favorite violinists, and I think it's because of performances like these. There is just an immense sense of control to be that tender on the downbeats and that articulate on the other notes.
My favorite guitar piece! I even fooled around once trying to play it, but I'm a violinist not a guitarist. I didn't know the violin version existed. It's a bit of a stretch for violin, but Augustin Hadelich makes music out of everything he touches.
Ricci was certainly one of the greatest masters of the violin. Yet this version by Hadelich surpasses Ricci's version for the sheer beauty of the music that shines through in every bar, every note.
I heard this exact piece as a bis a few months ago. I thought it was pointless then. Glad you proved me wrong. You made it sound like more than a showy exercise.
Rischio di essere monotono ma... AUGUSTIN sei il miglior violinista del pianeta in questo momento. Rendi questo arrangiamento delicato e con una musicalità fuori dal comune. Grandissimo
Wow! This is the first time I heard this piece being played in the violin. I know many classical guitarists would react but I really love the way you interpreted this piece using the the violin. I'm so amazed with how you executed those tremolo that gives the "feels" of a guitar tremolo. This is my new favorite. My gosh! I can listen to this all day. Thank you for this wonderful performance. 🥰😍😘
Thank you so much Augustin I really really enjoyed and appreciate watching you play this with such absolute amazing and awesome passion and amazing sensitivity too…….You are without a doubt the most talented and gifted violinist’s I’ve ever been honoured to listen too. Thank you thank you so much. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Ich fühle mich reich beschenkt , Augustin Hadelich in 22 life in Berlin-Hamburg u.Köln erlebt zu haben. Wir haben wunderbare Geiger und dennoch bin ich sicher , dass A.H. der kompletteste Geiger aller Zeiten ist.
So even! I used to play this on the guitar and it was so difficult to make the tremolo even. To hear this so perfectly played on the violin... wow! You're so fantastic! I can't wait to attend one of your concerts live. Everything you play, from the "simple" Ave Maria to the most grueling Paganini piece... everything, you make music, you make perfect. Wow! And your violin! No words...🌹🌻
Incredible bow arm. Not a huge fan of such big gaps between phrases which breaks up melodic continuity but he chose to do this giving clean execution in technique and precision priority. It is indeed very difficult to jump 2 or 3 strings immediately into a saltato bow stroke. Giving Kavakos a run for his money.
@@424464 look up paganini caprice #5 the whole etude is written in original text in saltato bowing with 3 down 1 recovery. This is the very definition of the paganini saltato bowing.
I think that at such pieces there is a melody divided in some notes and the other notes are the accompaniment for them. Augustin Hadelich makes the difference between melody and accompaniment by his articulation, by his dynamics (piano for the accompaniment, accents on the melody notes) and by the accentuation of the notes very finely. His bowing is very economical, many short strokes for the fast notes, is has to be played in such a way. Super! He is a great violinist!
Very interesting. He apparently puts clarity above everything else. I've never seen anyong play at this slow tempo, but in the meantime really every note renders.
This is the first time I'm seing this absolute master. Instanty seing the difference. All i can say is just WOW. Ive seen other try to perform this piece and you can see that its very difficult. But with him it is like he can do anything, it's coming straight from his soul and i can feel it.
¡¡¡¡Magnífico!!!!! ¡¡Simplemente magnífico!!! ¡¡¡Gracias, de verdad!!!! Perdón, sin embargo, ¿por qué no aparece en youtube el concierto para violín de Beethoven completo? Me encantaría escucharlo!!!! Nuevamente, felicidades!!! Lo único que te falta en tu carrera es tocar en la Sala Nezahualcóyotl de la ciudad de México!!! Scherzo!! Obviamente Scherzo!! Auguriii e complimenti!!! Grazie mille!!!
I could wish, sir, that you would compose your own arrangement. You have a sound background in musical theory -- evidenced by your mastery of the keyboard. I think you could give us an arrangement better than this one. And as for your technique, I remember with a thrill the time, more than a decade ago now, when you were playing with the Fort Worth Symphony and you took a pizzicato with your left hand. I wouldn't have believed it could be done if I hadn't seen you do it with my own eyes and ears.
I know the instrument you are playing here (Leduc del Gesu). But now want to know what bow you are playing with to partner this magnificent performance. "Take a bow"....😁
Imagine having that bow technique
I wouldn't need anything more in life ☺
I play the guitar, it's a reference piece for tremolo. I simply couldn't believe that was remotely possible to play on a violin. Quite amazing
I can not imagine
It‘s not that hard tbh😅
@@serendrixsan9191 ricochet it self may not be very hard but with those complex fingerings and constant string crossings.. even many famous soloists wouldn’t be able to play like him
Guitarists: this is strictly a guitar piece
Augustin: Hand me my bow
Nel, es quedar a mano, es decir, somos conocidos (guitarristas) como los grandes ladrones en música por tomar piezas ajenas para nuestro instrumento
But its just much More awesome on Violin🤷🏽♂️
its not that strict actually
😀😀
I guess the harp and the piano are not musical intruments....
This piece is extremely difficult to play well. You are the greatest new violinist of our time!
Not in a lifetime would I figure out how he did this.
Earnest Blofeld it’d be like solving a puzzle!
Earnest Blofeld he bows up one, and bounces it down three, being sure to make up for the downward bow bounces with a good up bow, so as to not run out of bow! Be sure and watch his virtual concerts where he tells some his trade secrets.❤️
PRACTICING 40 HOURS
On the strad podcast he explains how he did this. Episode #57
Performed with him this summer and he played the Bruch and followed the performance with this encore and the second he played the first note I knew what he was playing and just was in shock and awe the entire time. Can't believe I got to sit less than 10 feet away from him for it.

Stunning
You lucky bastard 🩷
Never heard this on violin before. If anyone can get away with it, it is Augustin Hadelich.

Yes and it's sooo difficult on the violin 😱😅
@@flavoredwallpaper Hard disagree, i love the ricochet sound on the violin
@@jimmierustler5607 yes it sounds more staccato
Bravest encore in history. No question
hahaha agree 😃

I think your violin loves you.
Most beautiful comment in the classical genre I have ever seen!!
And he loves her...

Damn this ricochet

Hadelich is a miracle in many ways. Saw him perform in Phoenix and it was wonderful!
Lucky
Was it the Beethoven?
First time when I can say that I was there, and it was awesome.
Great violin player! 😊
absutely amazing ! you are top violinist our generatin...
Thank you , Francisco Tárrega and thank you Augustine Hadelich 🥹🌞🤍🎼🙌🏼🔥🎸🎻
My favorite guitar piece! I even fooled around once trying to play it, but I'm a violinist not a guitarist. I didn't know the violin version existed. It's a bit of a stretch for violin, but Augustin Hadelich makes music out of everything he touches.
This is not playing the violin, it is love whispers between the violin and him with the bowlighting the candles
So much tone and beauty from so little bow. His technique is flawless...
Ricci was certainly one of the greatest masters of the violin. Yet this version by Hadelich surpasses Ricci's version for the sheer beauty of the music that shines through in every bar, every note.
Guarneri 'del Gesù 'Leduc' simplesmente fantástico 👏🏻👏🏻
So beautiful
I heard this exact piece as a bis a few months ago. I thought it was pointless then.
Glad you proved me wrong.
You made it sound like more than a showy exercise.
Esej Snake he made it musical. I could actually hear a melody, throughout! ❤️
❤❤
That's Augustin Hadelich for you: a master musician of our time.
Rischio di essere monotono ma... AUGUSTIN sei il miglior violinista del pianeta in questo momento. Rendi questo arrangiamento delicato e con una musicalità fuori dal comune. Grandissimo
Verissimo, e soprattutto forza Roma
So beautiful. I never would have thought this piece could be played on violin. Augustin, you are a marvel. You have all my respect and admiration.
One of the many examples why maestro Hadelich is one of the best
Fantastique...quelle audace dans le choix extrême des nuances...!
Incroyable... 😍
What a beautiful melody!! What a wonderful performance!!!!! Bravo👏
Augustin, you are great.
Many thanks.

The slower it gets more difficult becomes....amazing....wow...
Amazing, Augustin. Thank you!
Волшебник!❤🎻🌹
Like a running stream in paradise!
Bravo, bravísimo es increíble como hace usted el trémolo de la guitarra y la expresividad que consigue con esta pieza bellísima del maestro Tárrega.

So much sadness and beauty; spellbinding.
He sentido muchas cosas... cada segundo fue maravilloso ¡¡Cómo quedarás si lo ves en vivo!!
Siempre es bello escucharlo.

stunning performance! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Arrisco em dizer sem sombras de dúvidas, este é atualmente um dos maiores violinistas na minha opinião.
Sem dúvidas!!Ao vivo ele é ainda mais surpreendente!Abraços!
Eu sou Fan dele, acho que Tecnicamente é impecável e interpretação dele é muito Boa
Pro lugar de Maxim venguerov. Como melhor violinista do mundo.
Eu fico impressionado com a fôrma de mão dele, é perfeita
This is wonderful! Bravo maestro
I'm crying a lot!!!!!! This is so beautiful... I can't believe that!!!!! I'm in tears... My soul is in the heaven because of you.
genius at work!
such wonderful resonating playing, always positive surprised by your playing Augustin! Greetings from Germany
I have the same prenome and I am from Berlin.

Hadelich is superior to Kavakos...
Less continuation and more violinistic approach than the true guitarist style of Kavakos.
This is 2nd best to Leonidas Kavakos performance.
But it's not saltato he's employing - he's employing the Paganini 3 down and 1 up ricochet bow stroke which he does incredibly well - so clean

This piece sets me on the edge of my seat! It’s captivating! So good! ❤️
This is so wonderful, the voicing is perfect!
Elegant phrasing, burnished tone, expressive interpretation. Splendid!

Such an amazing bow control
정말 부드럽고 섬세하다....
Bravo und Gratulation zur neuen wunderbaren Violine
It's just amazing!
Un esecuzione assai originale ma comunque molto intima ed emozionante.
Thanks for this arrangement! It's so beautiful!
It's from Rucci, check Kavakos version too.
Apart the undoubted skill of Augustin... credit to Ruggero for the arrangement
So beautiful..🌷
His right hand is ... god. May I worship you Augustin
As a guitar player this is amazing 😮
Greetings from Varaždin in Croatia.
Aaah, diese Präzision...
Bravissimo
Did not think it was even possible!
Amazing! Well done! I never expected to hear this guitar classic on the violin.
Eres grande! 👏👏👏❤
Simply stunning! A beautiful simplicity in your approach to this work. Bravo!
Outstanding!!!!
Thanks for the Music!!
so beautiful... ㅜㅜ
i love augustin.
das ist unfassbar gut! Danke!
Bravo👏👏
Solo una cosa... Incredibile!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Blimey
Miracoloso
r/PieceoftheDay featured this piece today, February 9th, 2022.
BRAVO ! Marvelous !
Tears
I would marry him if he plays this for me each night
Keep dreaming
Wow
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Here we go again.
Fantastic and it is much more difficult if you play that piece at a moderate tempo as he is doing!
I'm crying. I don't know why.
I'm not familiar with the piece so for half of the video I was waiting for the orchestra to join in...
Was composed for Spanish guitar
An encore, I'm guessing?
That would be a great idea to orchestrate it.
Good grief...the bow control to play this like this is unreal.
It sounds beautiful on the violin too - but have a look at the guitarrist Manuel Barrueco with this piece ...
It's hard enough to just play the tremelo melody. How the hell did he manage to play the full piece on a freaking violin??? Incredible.
He is determined to play that piece of music on his violin, not realizing that it is just his ego moving the bow.

I heard this and came too see how he did that, still don't know after watching the video.
