This is the best violinist on the planet.

He is the perfect embodiment of musical artistry and violin virtuosity. Mr Hadelich’s playing transcends words. He is my violinistic ideal. A violinist’s violinist! Thank you, dear sir, for generously sharing your art with the world and your admiring listeners.

I feel that Augustin Handelich was born to play Ysaye. so good 😭

whenever I feel life has lost it's sparkle, all I need do is watch Augustin Hadlelich play Ysaÿe and all is right again

His intonation is just beyond! amazing

Augustin, you are a gift from God!

I never really fully appreciated the music of Mr. Ysaÿe until I heard it played by Mr. Hadelich. This performance is nothing less than mesmerizing. New words need to be invented to more accurately describe the magnitude of Mr. Hadelich's performances. We are so fortunate to be living in an age where we can employ hi-tech audio and video equipment to capture performances such as this, which can be and will be treasured for probably hundreds of years.

I have a feeling that I will be reborn......after his playing.

The voicing, the intonation, the clarity, the phrasing, the total ease with rubato, the joy he seems to have as he “discovers” the piece while playing it. Just phenomenal. I have quite a few Ysayë recordings that I love, and I’ve worked on most of them myself, but I’ve never heard or imagined it like this.

Lieber Herr Hadelich. You are the brilliant and a gift from God. Ysaÿe and you accompany me in my grief and help my soul. Your music Reminds me of Leonardo da Vinci's Saint John the Baptist. Mit bestem Dank.

Dear Mr. Hadelich, I am a new fan of your glorious violin performances. Just recently saw you perform in Phoenix where you played the Beethoven Violin Concerto , followed by the exquisite encore. I am a ninety-one year old lady who is so happy to have discovered you and your heavenly mastery of the Violin. Continue to be well and wonderful. Ruby Kaufman, Tempe Arizona

Stratospheric execution. Everything perfect and wonderful!

Eugène Ysaÿe - Sonata for solo violin no. 4 e minor, dedicated to Fritz Kreisler Allemande (Lento maestoso) 0:00 Sarabande (Quasi lento) 4:38 Finale (Presto ma non troppo) 7:49

Bravissimo. Grazie Maestro. Un collega che ti stima molto....

There are just no words. This is a definitive performance. Wow 😳

fascinated with your great performance! awesome!

Both earthly and out of this world... Technically superb, very musical, right tempo really! Blessed to have heard him.

He's nodding his head at the end as if to say "yeah, it's a tough piece, i know". kudos maestro!

My favorite recording! The sound convinced me that your bow is twice as long as normal...

Musicalità incredibile e suono fantastico!

Your generosity of spirit shines through- wonderfully inspiring

His sound, feels so smooth. The best way I can describe it is that it’s very silky and smooth no professional violinist of this age has such a smooth silky sound in my opinion 😍

His sound is so smooth. It almost seems unreal. Amazing!

hohoho, studying orchestration I had to analyze this work. Listened to several versions. This one is just stunning. How well artistically played, this is why music exists! It's not an easy work, there are so many ideas, some of them actual jewels. This man plays all of them. sol fa# mi, so beautiful especially in Sarabande. Even in Finale, ideas are so clear, so beautiful played, perfect technique. Will follow you, congratulations, félicitations and felicitaciones! bravissimo, maestro!

His pureness in sound and depurated technique is so inspiring. Another violinist that inspires me as well is Hilary Hahn. Their music is just so beautiful.

I had to come and listen to the whole sonata, again, after your virtual concert in Mr. Oundjian’s home. Augustin, please know that there are no words to express our gratitude for all you do for us, through having dedicated your whole life, practically, to this beautiful gift, you so generously give to us, your listening audience.❤️

Brilliant, artistic and authentic. Bravo!

I’m back to listen again. This music is performed to perfection. Thank you Mr Hadelich. You have re-inspired my love of the violin.

Only one way to sum up Maestro Hadelich artistry,, Perfect🎻🎻✝️

Incredible depth of performance🙏

This is absolutely stunning. The definitive performance of this sonata. Otherworldly precision, musicality, and the smoothest transitions and phrasing combine for true perfection. Best bow control I’ve ever seen. Bravo!

Those pizz are just so melodic. -In love-

The history was awaiting for you Augustin to play violin ‼

Thank you Augustin … thank you for being so awesome

in questo pomeriggio piovoso ...ti ringrazio tanto di avere dedicato la vita al violino...vale la pena, no?...ah ...la vida...!!!!

I'm a violinist and I appreciate you very much for your grit i interpretation. You are the best. Thank you for the pleasure you give me when I hear you.

To be honest i love your ysaye playing mr.hadelich😍

Your music is such a blessing and an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Brilliant! Amazing performance!

There is so much to enjoy here, guess I'll have to hear it again and again :)

This has brought tears to my eyes. Thank you sir.

Thank you for sharing with us your excellent art.

I keep waiting for you to make one little slip-up or execute one note a bit off. But it seems that I am waiting in vain, this is pure perfection!

Amazing! Fantastic! Superb! These words all fall short of what I feel when I listen to you play.... Thank you.

He has loyalty and such sensitive music understanding in his playing. His technic level has made him play easy and natural like he is just walking outside. As Saldarriaga said: Violinist's violinist !

Just superb. Bravo!

Thank you so much for so generously sharing your unbelievable talent. You are a treasure and we are blessed by your artistry.

Augustin, your tone is just so otherworldly, wow. I hope one day I could write a piece for you, that sound would be my dreams. Also that faster interpretation is incredible, it connects all the dots and keeps things sounding "humble" with just the right virtuosic edge! Thank you for posting this :)

Another perfect utterly unbelievable performance. Thank you so much. We are so privileged to be able to hear your performances

Bravo, Mr. Hadelich. Well done!

Ysaye was a man really inspired by Bach and this sonata (besides obsession sonata) really shows that mainly in the chords, rhythms, and with snappy dotted rhythms with passages of constant non-dotted rhythms, you basically have Bach or at least have a Bach/baroque piece with that baroque dance feel.

Also I love how Ysaÿe’s sonatas sound a like Bach but very dissonant

Sooooo beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

forgot this was live until the very end ;) awesome sounds

Découvert depuis peux grâce à youtube, j'aurais l'occasion de l'entendre en région parisienne au mois de novembre dans le concerto de Tchaïkovski au mois de novembre. Je me réjouis d'avance.

Pure Inspiration!!!! Thank you!!!!

VERY pretty piece! It is delightful! The sarabande is LOVELY! You’ve outdone yourself again, Augustin!❤️

Thank you for yet another beautiful performance.

Beautiful, May you have lovely 2020 Augustin :)

That was insane!!!! 🤩

Thank you Augustin for your music that touches the soul.

Possibly one of my favorite recordings of Ysaye! I am in love with your playing

9:46-9:49 is probably the cleanest bowing I've ever heard.

So amazing and incredibly beautiful tone!!!!

What a warm sound 🥰

Breath taking ....

Thank you for playing 🙏

I really want to play a real guarneri. Be proud of you and thank Good for this beautiful instrument and for your *playing*

Out of this world. Thank you so much Augustin, you are by far the best and unrivalled violinist I’ve ever had the good unfortunate to hear. Thank God for KZfaq, we are really really lucky to have been able to listen and watch you create this amazing and awesome music 🎶 here in the comfort of our own homes.

this is awesome.

My favorite violinist!!!

This sonata is lucky to be performed by such an artist

Amazing man!!!!!

너무 좋아요!!♡♡♡

That rocks. I heard that Chuck Bontrager made an adaptation of the 1st movement for 7 String Violin with the bottom 3 strings tuned down a half step.

Astonishing! 👏👏👏👏 👏

Magnificent!

Amazing!!!

Excelente de verdad muy buena interpretaciom

Dear Augustine, this piece sounds like you wrote it yourself. You connect amazingly with what you play.

Genius!

Woooow!!!!! Great!!!!

Incredible

That "G F# E, A" voicing throughout the second movement...!!!

Dear Augustin, I’ve always loved this particular movement of this Sonata and hold the Kalers recording as the reference one. Yours is so good that im now putting right up there with it. Great sound, great interpretation and oh boy does Henryks favourite Guarneri sound like a dream

Bravissimo!❤

Espléndido ♡

In Tears!!!

Bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
