P.S. Augustin also played in Indianapolis on Monday (the day after this recital; he took a red-eye flight from LA to Indianapolis) for Josef Gingold's 100 birthday celebration. For this, he played Ysaye's "Ballade," which also is included on his Flying Solo disc. I agree with the reviewer: his interpretation of the Ballade is much less aggressive than most, it makes one think of the piece a bit differently.

 Wow! I just visited his website thanks to your link. What a silken warm (as you say) sound without being cloying at all. I will keep a lookout for future recitals and concerts by Hadelich (not to mention CDs - thanks for the tip about the Haydn sonatas).

 Ooh, I'd love to hear him play. Must check out that Flying Solo CD. I am so heartened by his story, his overcoming the adversity of that accident/recuperation to rise to the fame his talent merits.

Thanks, Laurie!

I recently heard a recording of the Telemann Fantasies that Augustin Hadelich made.  I really admired his interpretation of these.  I would suggest listening to them if you are working on the Fantasies.  He's a very good violinist and really admirable given some of the unfortunate things that have happened in his life.  Good work!

Sincerely,

Mike F.

 I heard Augustin Haudelich playing Paganini's 4° caprice and Chopin arrangement of nocturne in C sharp moll. Perfect tecnic, wonderful vibrato and sound. To me, he is already a great violinist.

LOVE this  violinist as well! Some are born to play and I feel he fits that description! I just discovered him a few months ago myself. Glad I found him!
