Did you ever consider that there are Ling Ling beginners as well?!😉

@@dougdumbrill7234 Ling Ling was never a beginner. He was born with 40 years of experience.

plus with Hilary too

beginners with connections

@ling ling lol.. Heck no. It's just because they're famous. Come on now.

well it says beginner soloists

Well it says beginner soloist, not beginner violinist

Yes! So true! They are truly role models! Can totally feel their nervousness in their body languages before and after playing. Not only it's nerve wrecking for them to do, they share the moment with us too. I know they need the videos for their channels or their income, but it's not easy to embrace one's vulnerability.

And they were sight reading.

@@elissahunt i don’t think so. They would have prepared a long time to play these excerpts. The music was there just because they hadn’t memorised it. Can’t sight read this stuff - apart from the technical difficulties, there’s a lot of organising in terms of fingering snd bowing to do.

@@katharineshade9550 Maybe not pure sight reading, but they didn't know which excerpts each would play, and the both looked genuinely surprised by each one. Also, after the first one, Brett says in surprise, "You know the concerto!" And Eddy says, "Just the beginning." So, no, I don't believe they prepared it.

@@katharineshade9550 no I don’t think they have prepared it, otherwise I’m almost positive it would turn out MUCH better than the levels they played here. It really does feel like they are sightreading, which tbh gives me second hand nervousness seeing a whole orchestra watching them play RIGHT AFTER HILLARY HAHN

@ling ling why thank you! Although it has been less than an hour :)

to me, a fanbase like this is commendable. Unlike certain "sasaeng" / stalkers and toxic fanbases of particular genres.

This is what I loved most, the kindness and support between everyone and Hilary not taking herself too seriously... they are such a joy x

@@judithpride1690 They are a joy indeed. I wish they could bottle the generosity and good humor everyone exhibited in this video as an elixir for those who need it.

Actually I find this the normal attitude among musicians, and the diva style the rare exception. All highly skilled musicians I have met have been very down to earth.

@@altoclef6688 I don’t know how it is with adults but in school there are some people who really think very highly of themselves cause they’re good musicians. Like, our concertmaster in school orchestra is really down to earth, although he’s like really good (he won competitions and stuff) and in orchestra he’s really supportive and nice (like if he notices someone’s having trouble with a phrase he shows them better fingerings or stuff like that), but there are also some people who are actually very arrogant and think they’re better than everyone else, and who also show that very clearly, always showing off with their terribly difficult pieces, publicly exposing people if they played a wrong note and always acting like they only play in orchestra cause they think we wouldn’t have a chance without them… and that person isn’t playing better than our concertmaster but they definitely think they are (Sorry for the essay I just had to get it off my chest cause this person was the cause of many anger- and self doubt attacks over the last two months)

@@kxra0624 Don't mind those mean people. Without kindness, even if they have mad skills, they won't get far. Their music won't reach people's heart. I also believe that arrogance will limit one's capability to learn and improve. Whenever that person spends time attacking you instead of focusing on his own music, thinks of Brett and Eddy's "have you practiced?", and hope their voice will make you feel better. :)

Seriously useful, thanks man!!

"If you can compare them slowly, you can compare them quickly." Sun Tzu, Art of Sacrilege

Genius

they can mostly just show off their skill at sightreading, in this case. every soloist gets to practice. Hilary's been at this VC since last year so she had better kill it.

Bueno a primera vista obviamente no están leyendo 😅😅😅

All are professional, Hillary is just a prodigy!

That wasn't sight reading on TwoSet's part! If it was, they would be international stars on the concert stage. They did great!

and then you have the musicians who arent there yet and never will be

Same, I loved that moment!

The best part is the look of disbelief on his face before he realized he actually did it. Oh and how Eddys jaw dropped to the floor...

@@tigerman1978 yes! Just wonderful 😊

She really has been supporting them for a long time. LingLing workout with her is a diamond. In one video she said that she sometimes goes to violin shops and play the violins to help future buyers.

At their mukhbang video (though I'm not sure, still the one with Hilary), it was stated that she was also fangirling to TwoSet

Its not talent... its 40 hrs of practice for sightreading- lol jk some talent is involved tbh

Yes, props to Simone!

Simone groupies represent!

Conductors are amazing ✨️

She is fabulous! When Hilary is playing some really incredible moments where she controls the orchestra perfectly.

They've been playing in orchestras for years...

Do you mean when they filmed with Lang Lang?

@@kevinsundelin8639 but never as soloists

@@hormigatomic1 I know but no one else in the comment section seems to know

@@xandraxandra1437 in one of their old vids they talk about how some of the Orchestra admin tried to discourage Brett from approaching the visiting soloists to ask if they would be in their videos… and now those soloists are asking them up on stage with them!

I adore great conductors. I would love to see more of her in action

I could listen to this all day... already hit replay like three times. Just stunning playing with characteristic TwoSet and Hilary humor!

5 and 7 just make my day. Them being so real and down to earth, and enjoying the moment just warms my heart. I am really happy that their hard work has paid off, and they have more opportunities to do epic stuff, which they might not get to if they stayed in their orchestra jobs.

saaame! One of my favorite videos!!

@@CL-jf8qs It's something that their 20-year-old self might never have imagined would happen. Dream big, just do it and work hard - they show us it's the way to live your dream.

Yeah, I wonder how much is the instrument and how much is her just being insanely good...

​@@tigerman1978 It is the marriage between Hilary's experience and the instrument's full capcity imo

And I think they're rather trying more here than they usually do in their videos haha, they're playing in front of an entire pro orchestra + Hilary Hahn, less incentive to deliberately screw up passages for the comedy like they often do in their videos. And I like this more, it shows how good they are, whereas usually in the videos they're half screwing up on purpose lol

@@jacobbass6437 Not quite accurate. A "song" specifically has lyrics.

I agree, reminds me of an old Ling Ling 40 hours where the caption said something to the effect of "Show me the strongest woman" and of course that was Hilary!

I can't imagine they were sight reading!

@UnfaithfulEvil 🅥 ar- are you proposing?🫣😳

Wait, so they performed at her actual concert?!

@@Bobbybabybobbybubbie yes they did and it was amazing 👏

@@christinec5300 Wow!

@@Bobbybabybobbybubbie yes, the encore. they played dvorak gavotte for 3 violins, just incredible

Of course I am not crying tears of joy for them (quickly wipes my face).

Listen to some other violinists too. Hilary Hahn isn't my favourite Prokofiev player, her technique is amazing but I find her interpretation a little uninspired. My favourite on KZfaq (published by the Violin Channel) was unfortunately pulled (or rather, set as private). This concerto is a masterpiece.

@@altoclef6688 You can praise others without putting one down. Interpretation is incredibly subjective, what might be uninspired to you can be pure passion to others.

@@altoclef6688 who was the soloist in the performance you liked?

@@altoclef6688 I find Hilary Hahn's tone so perfect for this concerto, a lot of recordings I've listened to feel too airy and light. The opening of her first movement is so delicate but still heavy in a super comfortable way. Same in the other movements, where it feels more on the string than it could be, which I really like. She's the only soloist I've found that actually does the sul pont all the way through the moment OP mentioned, which I absolutely adore the sound of. For me, other recordings play it too lightly, too virtuosic and not grounded enough. but hey, that's just me !

@@oxoelfoxo My favourite recording on KZfaq (now unavailable) was with Sayaka Shoji and Jonathan Nott conducting Tokyo Symphony. Shoji has been a long time favourite of mine, she is constantly trying to find new angles. BTW, she had the same teacher as Vengerov (Zakhar Bron).

Come on man, although I mostly agree with your comment, don't do Kavakos like that. Less flashy and maybe less precise as well, but I know many people prefer his interpretation (even if I'm not one of them).

@@dannyboy2267 f kabakos

​@DannyBoy No disrespect to Kavakos, man, heaven knows I am in no position to pass judgment on his violin playing. It's just that Hilary is so good at this particular piece, I just can't imagine enjoying anything else. That's not to say Kavakos doesn't have his own specialties, that are best enjoyed with him and only him playing. only even mentioned him because his is second best (IMO of course). Otherwise, he is the personification of clean, virtuosic playing. My teacher always says that to feel a piece you can listen to any great violinist, but only Kavakos can make you understand a piece.

Ooh heifetz's sibelius.....God I have to listen to him again

Agreed! I got the feels from Bretts 3rd mvt!

Brett's third movement really wowed me. It was so close to Hilary's playing as compared to the others

I was there too! When I first arrived, I was interested to see that the audience had soooo many young kids, tweens, teens and 20 yo’s. And that the audience was 80% Asian background. Quite different to concerts I usually see. I wonder if that’s Rays usual demographic, and what he thinks of it? Great to see young people being lured into appreciating classical music, they will be the ticket buyers of the future! I’m sure Ray appreciates them, but I wonder if he wants validation from adult more discerning audience. And I wonder if his young audience is also because of the Twoset effect? But then again Ray has always reached out to engage young people.

Her projection, and tone!

❤️

@UnfaithfulEvil 🅥 ratio

No maidens? 🤨

They are my daily dose of happiness 🥰

Her humbleness, kindness, and generosity to share, while being world class soloist, make me love her so much.

She has a recording of it on her album Eclipse. It’s on Spotify etc

Have you watched her 100 days of practice videos? On Insta mostly I think. Just little shorts showing her thought processes, adjustments to attitude, excercizes she does, and the really subtle changes she considers in her playing. Really fascinating.

@@susanbryant6516 I love this series, as you say it's fascinating to see the process of a seasoned soloist who works on very specific parts for a piece such as this one. Hilary Hahn's videos on Twitter really opened my eyes to what you're supposed to do during a practice session and how much world-class musicians work to reach the level they're at.

@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia yeah, she’s so…thoughtful…about the whole process

Prokofiev flute parts are a double-edged sword, beautiful and impressive but so damn hard! 😂

This video was so great! You're right about Prokofiev's flute music. I wanted to learn the flute because of Peter and the Wolf which I heard when I was 4 or 5. Started learning flute at 9 and as I got more experienced (and older) I bought the sheet music for PatW and realized it was much harder than I thought it would be! Definitely a double edged sword so lovely to listen to but so difficult to play!

Wholesomeness around Brett and Eddy everywhere. 🥰 The amount of positivity and support in all their platforms when they do something epic is just 'Amazing'.

Perfectly said and 100% accurate.
