Tschaikowsky: Violinkonzert ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Hilary Hahn ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada

Thank you for making concerts like these so accessible to everyone, and in such great quality
🙏

In addition to her perfect technique, her musical creativity is increasingly visible. It's an honor to listen to and watch a great artist at her prime 👑

Hahn's technique was already perfect when she was a teenager. The majority of her progress since then has been in her expressive quality and understanding of the music she plays. She continues to make new realizations about what music really means, what an outstanding person.

It's incredible how Hilary and Andres understood that Tchaikovsky was a prolific composer for ballet. The entire performance was incredibly graceful and truly terpsichorean, nothing was rushed just for the sake of demonstrating virtuosity - it was first and foremost presented like dance.

The production level on this video is outstanding. Major props to the team that captured the audio, filmed from all angles, and the editor that it all together who actually knew what they were doing. Always seemed to show the exact perfect tight angle or distant view at exactly the right time. The ultra tight zoom for the harmonics, the play back and forth between the instruments, the big picture view during the full fortississimo.... absolute excellence. Thank you. I truly enjoyed this incredible performance because of your work.

I can’t believe the audience was so well behaved at the end, just applauding from their seats. I would’ve jumped out of my chair screaming how much I love HH and the conductor and the whole orchestra while ugly crying and applauding until my hands would’ve become crippled. Such an amazing performance. Music is unearthly.

Not only HH but also orchestra is outstanding

This orchestra is fast becoming my favorite orchestra

I literally screamed when I saw this!! I’m so happy that there is a new recording of her Tchaikovsky, although I love the recording of the one with the youth orchestra in Texas! I’ll probably listen to this every day for the next two months or so… This is played SOOOO beautifully!! Love everything about this!!

Hilary’s playing is aging like fine wine. Sweet, yet savory. Bold when called for, yet timid. All this while having world-class precision and staying true to the piece. Beautiful.

My favorite violinist + my favorite conductor + my favorite violin piece = heaven
Love how they enjoy the moment!

Oh my god, I can`t even! Nobody had a clue how hyped I was for Hilary`s full Tchaikovsky performance on KRplus. I mean, I`ve been waiting forever for this. And it`s now available. A complete concerto, you say? My life is complete. Massive shoutout to the hr-Sinfonieorchester for dropping this! No more 3-minute teasers, y`all rock! And of course, Hilary absolutely nailed it!

Her playing is literally out of this world

Hilary is on fire here; and of course Andrés fire. A stunning performance - not forgetting the magic achieved by the camera folk and the sound engineers. Thank you!

They had the microphones in exactly the right places to record this extraordinary performance. Bravo to all involved!

I swear she gets better with age. She always had perfect technical ability, but in the past several years I’ve heard a new depth of feeling and soul in her playing that shines through.

She’s perfect. The best violinist of all time.

God, the power this woman has with one violin is and will be unsurpassed.

Kudos to the whole Orchestra and to our star soloist Hilary !

I never used to be a big fan but this performance completely blew me away. She pays so much attention to details and really plays with the tempo and articulation. And the best thing - the orchestra adapt this. Just listen to 34.34 and then the wind soloists! Incredible.

This is Tchaikovsky at his very best. So many other violin concertos fail in comparison because this is cantabile from beginning to end. This is so great you could listen to it 500 times and never tire.

Thank you for making this available to those who cannot attend a live performance. I will listen/watch this many times. Exceptional.

This is simply awe-inspiring. I've loved this concerto ever since my childhood, when I first heard it recorded by Leonid Kogan in the 1950s. Since then, I've heard many different performances, but I've never heard a better one than this. While listening to it, I kept forgetting to breathe. Hahn's interpretation of the music is sensitive, thoughtful and courageous, her technical mastery is complete, and the orchestra keeps up with her both technically and musically. Wonderful!

In every inch (cm, dm or metre) Hilary here proves what a master she is. This is the best Tschaikovsky Violin Consert I ever heard! It is an honour and a privilege for me/us to be able to listen to this. I am so thankful to her, but also to Andrés and this eminent orchestra!

First clarinet: Oscar for best supporting actor.

i come watch this recording every month and it never gets old

A high-quality, excellent performance of this piece, featuring Hilary that I have been waiting literally years for. And my god, what a performance. Hilary is more amazing with every passing day. The orchestra was stunning as well. Particularly some of those stand-out wind parts. So clear, and expressive. Anyone who doesn't appreciate what a genius Tchaikovsky was should listen to this, and all will be made clear.

It's a gift to hear such a well-known piece played with such freshness.

My goodness how could it be better? How?
She is the queen for another great reason because of this. ❤

Such maturity, even at her age -- she ages better than the greatest wines of the world. My god -- what a spectacular interpretation and we're still saying that in her middle years. Crazy...

I like Andrés Orozco- Estradas dancing on the podium, he exemplfies what this music is about👍

How does everyone keep from weeping in the presence of such astonishing beauty? I’m in zero control of my tear ducts again and again. Can’t help it

Love to see her and the orchestra and conductor so connected, smiling at each other throughout!

What an experience listening to this beautiful piece played by Hilary Hahn together with the hr-Sinfonieorchester!

She has been hitting the gym. She looks so STRONG. I LOVE her playing. you can see the expression in her face and in her eyes. The determination and focus is amazing and one to strive for as an artist. ❤️❤️❤️🎻

Thank you, Ms. Hahn, and to Maestro Orozco-Estrada, and as always thank you to the Frankfurt!

love this moment at 31:20 between Hahn and Orozco-Estrada, such masterful conducting throughout to support such a fantastic performance. Bravo!

Hilary gets better every day.

Literally the most spectacularly flawless technique, not only in her left hand intonation but in her ridiculously amazing bow control, of all of the greats, imho. not always my favorite performance musically, although never anything to complain about, but she is always I swear like some alien being dropped onto this planet to demonstrate to all of us violinists that it truly is possible to play the instrument measurably perfectly over and over and over and over and over and over

This is perfectionist violin technique by Hilary Hahn, perfect bowing even while moving, perfect intonation and she gets such amazing tonal range and volume from that instrument. So happy to have found this video - thank you to all! Superb orchestra, conducting, video and sound. A masterpiece by all! (from Canada)

Dont matter how many times i listen to this is great❤

One of the best ever performance I never seen thebefore is one of the greatest violin performance by an excellent violinist like Hillary Hahn her technique are out of this world and the sound of the violin she has is a pure and beautiful sound that make your soul transport into a voyage that you never want to stop and keep continuing listen to this marvelous and beautiful music for ever CONGRATULATION HILLARY IN ONE AGAIN THE BEST PERFORMANCES I NEVER SEEN BEFORE IT WAS A PERFECT PERFECT PERFORMANCE BY ONE OF THE FIRST BEST AND MORE THAN THE BEST VIOLINIST IN THE WORLD EXCELLENT EXCELLENT

This is a masterful performance on every level. The instruments sound like they are voices telling their stories. I loved watching and listening to this. Thank you

She is wonderful. Thank you for making performances like this available.

One word: Divine.

I have loved this concerto since I first heard it in 1965. I have listened to many recordings of it since then. This is, by far, the best performance available on YOU Tube. Hilary Hahn has captured all the emotion that is expressed in this concerto. Many thanks for the prividlidge of listening,
.

So glad to see the maestro back to the podium Of HR Orchestra! ... temporarily😃

Hilarys treatment of the violin is outstanding; the sound comes out so soft and intimate, still with the inner nerve in it. Also in more flamboyant passages is her playing marvelous! I have never heard this Tchaikovsy Violine Consert played better. So thank you, wonderful Hilary, marvelous orchestra and clever Andrés Orozco-Estrada! The sound uptaking is also fabulous.

Wowzah. That's the first time I've heard Hilary play like this. So many new things, and how she and the orchestra were in sync most of the time. The timing is phenomenal. The articulation, accents, musicality, etc. Kudos!

While watching this video, every few seconds/minutes, I say to myself ‘very interesting things happened here, that must be it, what else can happen now?’ And then something even more interesting is happening yet again, and then again… until the end of the performance… We are truly privileged to have performances like this one available in our fingertips, literally.

not only is her technique perfect, but she truly understands the emotion of each note played, to a deep and masterful level which invites even the most ordinary person to go join in on a journey and feel intense emotions up to the very last note

I love the way when she plays it’s 100 pct about the music she’s making. There’s no excess movement. She’s willing the violin to make these sounds. What what amazing music she produces

Her artistry and precision truly bring the piece to life in the most sublime way. Bravo!

Die Präsenz des hr Sinfonieorchesters mit wunderbaren Konzerten und Künstlern ist einfach großartig! Herzlichen Dank!

wow, very good, I heard this time a lot of details that I don't usually hear, very interesting performance, and very much ballet like. Loved the musicality in this!! also, huge thanks to the recording people, video and audio, I enjoyed it all

Not so much known for the Tchaikovsky VC, Maestro Hilary has been increasing her performances of this piece in recent times. This is a wonderfull performance and look forward to how this piece evolves with Mastro Hilary in the future. Thanks to the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra for making these stunning performances freely available.

thank you for such amazing audio and video quality. wind instruments' resonance is gem we don't want to miss

Браво! Изумительное исполнение и чисто русское прочтение произведения. Этого не хватает у многих исполнителей Чайковского

По трактовке очень близко русско-советской скрипичной школе, очень зрелое исполнение , просто блестящее сочетание солиста и оркестра! Браво!!!!!

this is such a divine piece of music, it can send chills up your spine. Once I was sleeping with the radio tuned to a classical station, and then this came on..... right away I was wide awake!

Браво Хилари Хан концерт для скрипки с оркестром композитор Чайковский ! Браво оркестр и дирижор! Спасибо! Браво!.

Можно ли сказать, что мы с женой Татьяной успели переболеть Hilary Hann ? - вот это уж навряд...она по-прежнему не перестаёт удивлять - снова этот плотный и насыщенный смычок, снова этот лучистый звук и снова проникновенное прочтение Чайковского !!! Hilary молодца !!! Звук фантастический !!! Нюансировка безподобная !!! Нет вот этого ненужного сумасшедшего темпа, которым многие страдают...всё очень нежно, певуче и продумано. Главное - чувствуется очень высокий класс исполнения и у неё волшебный инструмент !!! Браво, Hilary !!! Спасибо звукооператорам и режиссёрам записи !!! СПб, рабочий, 60 лет.

It would be a dream to go to one of her concerts.🤩

Quando si è una cosa sola con lo strumento e la musica, questo è il risultato

Gestern Abend live in Dortmund in eben dieser Besetzung. Danke für einen unvergesslichen Abend! 🤩

at 7:39 I love how while she's not playing, she's just casually looking over the orchestra members, kind of checking them out, kind of saying hello, respecting them and "seeing" them.....she's the best.

Habe kein Konzert gehört, bei dem das Orchester so synchron mitgegangen und so transparent und luftig aufgetreten ist. Auch die Balance von Orchester und Solistin ist perfekt, jedenfalls in der Aufnahme so präsentiert. HR: super!

Sometimes i wish to get some more dirty or excessive colours in her sound, but its her very recognizable style. She really emphasizes those parts, which many others oftentimes rush to blur, makes sequences more interesting and difficult chord progresses sound detectable. Her technique is just amazing. Would be gold to have her as a teacher...

素晴らしい演奏に感じました。その場で聴いておられる方が羨ましいです。気軽に素晴らしい音楽に触れることができる youtube に感謝です。

Hahn is the greatest living violinist. Unlimited technique. Total mastery of her instrument.

広く、広く…豊かで深いものを感じて、
とても嬉しくて幸せな気持ちです
とても有難く　
感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです
ありがとうございます

Merci Hilary pour ces purs instants de bonheur- plénitude partagés, cette interprétation résonnante de votre passion comme toutes les autres ❤

Such virtuosity between musician and composer is a truly emotional experience. Undoubtedly all what Tchaikovsky could have ever hoped for! Brilliant...

Naprosto nádherné ❤Sólistka i orchestr!Děkuji ❤

For the first time l hear this Violinist Genius playing this great composition , and it's Amazing!

Afinadísima orquesta bajo la dirección del excelente conductor, Maestro Orozco. A la altura de la virtuosa Hilary Hahn.

Hilary bring music to another level, it a total joy to watch her perform 🎶🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Браво Хилари Хан скрипичный концерт композитора Чайковского! Браво оркестр и дирижер! Спасибо, Браво!

For Andrés Orozco-Estrada this must be like a hard work-out. And I admire him for beeing so flexile and intuitive in his cooperation with Hilary. Every conductor has his/her own style, and I like Andrés for beeing so much himself in his work with Hilary and this fabulous orchestra. He is a true musician!

She is wonderful. Thank you for making performances like this available.. She is wonderful. Thank you for making performances like this available..

impresionante, la orquesta es maravillosa, como acompaña. ella es única

Wie wunderschön... Piotr Iljich Tchaikowsky, mein Lieblingskomponist. Und die wunderbare Violinistin. Vielen Dank. Blagodariu.

Frankfort Radio symphony does a great job and their video production is incredible.

There’s freshness to her playing in every piece, every performance. It’s like hearing the music for the first time again - she manages to present to us something outside the clichés we’ve gotten so used to. Like 4:55 26:14 36:27 and many other points, where she really takes the time to demonstrate her own interpretations. Nothing more enjoyable hearing the great soloist be accompanied by such an attentive and talented orchestra.

Что можно сказать... Обалденно, красиво, завораживающе. Волшебно!
И сделано на очень высоком уровне. Спасибо! Не испортили.

My favorite thing about her is she seems so happy to be part of the Orchestra.

I remember Hilary from back in the day in Baltimore when we were younger; she is amazing 🎻

incredible!!! how can such a master even become better and better still !!! and as a human she is so normal and funny ! this was like medicine for me today. thx to all musicians and of course to hillary hahn !!!

Incredible simpatico between soloist and orchestra. One of the greatest performances of this piece ever.

hilary Hahn， my life time favorite, although i never watch her live. But her honey tone is so unforgetable. I have watched Modori and Vengerov etc, but still love Hilary Hahn. Can not explain.

The wizardry of our soloist. The beauty of the orchestra’s performance. The composer himself would have been moved.

Sustained and thicker tone with Romantic spirit …. Always at her best confident entry

Estoy atonito!!! 😮😮😮 es la más grande interpretación jamas realizada de esta inconmensurable obra! Lo reconocí a tchaikovsky ahi...no hay duda de que está ahí...que violinista mas increíble!!... Inefable!!

Irresistível ouvir uma interpretação tao linda e profunda!! What a
Magic moment to hear you, Hilari!! Thank you !!!

This Russian composer, Tschaikowsky, is above any human being. How someone can write such a treasure for mankind?

We in Central New York are so proud of her ! She has dazzled since a child playing performances at the Skaneateles Festival in August

Ez egy gyönyörű, de nem egy egyszerű zenemű. Hilary Hahn óriási, csodálatos, elbűvölő hegedűművész. Zseniális virtuozitás, dinamikus, temperamentumos, mégis finom, meleg hangtónusú az előadása. Fantasztikus a zenekar is, élén Andrés Orozco vezényletével. Szívből gratulálok.❤❤

Increible la madurez musical que ha adquirido Hilary Hahn desde su ultima version del bruch, ya no toca solo notas de forma virtuosa, sino que ha logrado algo mas dificil, transmitir con sus ejecuciones, la musica no se enseña, solo lo hacen los musicos cuando logran una madurez musical de algo intangible que no se enseña
