Chaque fois que je l'écoute j'ai mon cœur qui bat de joie!
@fdapproved16
one of the best interpretations i've heard of this piece!
@byurazorhog
Speaking as a layperson, I just can't comprehend how she could possibly remember the whole piece like that. What a talent!
@cleojdhh
IF a really great performance of this piece is what your searching for, than allow me to recommend the recording made by by Jascha Heifetz. His magnificient playing speaks for itself.
@lidesnowi
Breathtaking beautifully! I listen to this piece almost every day it just keeps getting better every time!
@wooskru
One of my favourite violin concertos..so in the style of movie music,of course...Mutter's recording is extraordinary too and so it is the Quirine Viersen's rendition of the Cello concert in the documentary DVD about Korngold.
@MyTroubadour
Le concerto pour violon de Erich Korngold est une œuvre que j'aime au même titre que celui de Miklos Rozsa. Quelle belle interprétation !
@UTubeSL
Anyone that is good enough to be playing in that high level of orchestra is stunningly good and probably very happy and content that they are so gifted. Additionally I would doubt that all orchestral players would want to have to tour as much, be away from their family as much, or have the same level of pressure as Hilary Hahn and similarly phenomenal players have during their playing lives. Anyway, more relevantly, this is a beautiful performance again from Hilary Hahn. What a star.
@Viovirtuosity
My favorite interpretation. Takes me to another world.
@keybawd
Korngold is sadly under-rated, idem Rachmaninov, Gershwin, Barber, Tippett, indeed anyone who last century could write a melody. Hands up who can hum a tune from a Peter Maxwell Davis symphony? Hahn is a wonderful violinist. Heifetz is, was and will always be Heifetz. Times change, musical styles change. Kriesler didn't make Menhuin redundant nor Menuhin Heifetz nor Stern Perlmann. We love performers of the past & are excited by the performers of the present. Hilary Hahn is a great musician
