Become elated when I find a piece that makes me want to cry.. Rare gems.

I really appreciate how you take time to introduce and explain the pieces you play. It's fascinating to hear some of their histories. This is such a sweet and beautiful performance - thank you for sharing it!!

Great performance of some lovely music. And the violinist shows such spirit! Glad to see that she has recovered from her accident.

A transcendently beautiful piece, rendered exquisitely by a true virtuosa, the lovely Rachel Barton Pine, who truly epitomizes "the triumph of the human spirit over adversity," considering the terrible accident that could have taken her life. An incredibly talented yong lady who plays like an angel - I salute you!

Oh my, I love the look on her face, and the vibrato, clean tone, and intonation excellent job

Rachel Barton Pine and Matthew Hagle, I salute you, beautifully played. Fascinating history. Music at 2:58.

Wow - wonderful and beautiful, and wonderful speaking introduction about Maud Powell

Beautiful performance. And I appreciate the background information as well.

Heard this piece by this violinist on Prairie Home Companion today. Exquisite.

Simply beautiful - composition, violinist, and pianist.....

I LOVE THIS PIECE! I can't wait when I get to play this piece for my senior recital! Thank you for sharing this, it's beautiful.

Fabulous! What a magical sound Barton Pine draws out of this amazing music.

I saw Rachel featured on Religion and Ethics (pbs) last week and was quite moved by her story and her talent. It's wonderful to see her in the midst of a successful career. I appreciated the informative introduction. Maude Powell was an amazing person, truly inspiring. I will make sure to look her up. The Amy Beach piece is quite lovely :)

Simply beautiful

Honestly one of the best pieces for violin I've heard.

What a touching performance! Bravi!

Wonderful experience -to hear the story behind and to enjoy the marvelous performance.Thank you!

What a stunning performance!

really beautifull piece so well rendered with so intensity; yes, beautifull interpretation ! if i were a violinist, i surely would like to play such a piece...

Rachel, I heard you a decade ago, and have several recordings by you. Another superb interpretation! Thank you!!!

Amazing piece and what a performance!

Thank you. The piece is truly beautiful, and so is your passionate playing.

Brilliant!

damn, this is beautiful!

Came here from Amy Cheney Beach, next time I will go for more info about Maud Powell.

A beautiful piece, exquisitely rendered.

Exquisite !

That was just so lovely. ❤

Simply amazing. You probably don't remember this, but you over heard me playing this piece in Evanston about 6 months ago and we discussed the piece briefly. Ever since then I've wanted to see you perform this piece. And as it turns out, your interpretation is really lovely. Thank you for posting this.

So beautiful sound.

So beautiful! Loved the informative introduction too.

genius

The actual piece starts at 2:55.

8:49 del gesu's have a signature tone on the lower registry (d & especially the g string). hear the same operatic,echoey sonorous mellows on chang's guarneri. must be the bigger body.

I am not a Native english speaker so can someone tell me who is the composer rachel was talking about at the begining?
