That performance of the Brahms double is FANTASTIC. BOTH of you played with a transcendent beauty I don't find in other performances of this Brahms masterpiece. Unforgettable. And personally, Julia seems such a wonderful beautiful person with good values. Thank you, Julia, for sharing your gifts with us.

I like what she said about the perfection is just for herself, that the audience doesn’t really care about technicalities or if she hits all the right notes. That takes some pressure off my performance anxiety.

I love the sound of her violin. Now I know it’s a very old one from 1749. It’s interesting to see the different characters of different musicians, Julia sounds very isolated and understandably so.

Extraordinary interview. Each one of these opens up a new aspect of what’s possible in a human being to grow with music. Honestly it’s like something mysterious is transmitted to the listener. Julia so easily shares what it is like to be this incredible genius; violin and piano. I’ve just been reading about Harold Bauer and could not believe this was possible. But here she is. I’m absolutely in awe of her.

In fact I did! But in the end we decided to keep the narrative focused on the best and most original parts-we are getting a Patreon set up soon in which we plan to offer some segments that were good from each episode but didn’t quite tie into the narrative we hoped to construct. I’ll have to in the meantime try to remember what her answer was-we filmed this two years ago ✨

The Oscar movies event is near friends, what about making this performance become a movie soundtrack? Musicians as Hollywood super stars are my very favorite movies, let her adorable Julia become a Hollywood celebrity, a movie is made of 90 minutes, it's not a TV documentary only an episode just enough to let audience get something very emotional and very special, a nice Julia's touch, think about it, we have to reach the Avatar fantasy profits of seven billion dollars incomes friends, let's do it, let them young movie directors work for you and .. do something trully remarcable, l am the biggest supporter of yours Ok?
