    • @vt4979
      @vt4979 2 роки тому +3

      One interesting detail I've noticed is that most world class soloists rarely play showpieces like this anymore later in their career! They would shift to hone and perfect the concertos; and explore pieces that are more exceptionally difficult to express musically or something that they are passionate about rather than the most technically challenging pieces. It's a little bit of a bummer because I would love to hear Hilary's updated version of The Last Rose of Summer and Der Erlkönig now that she is so much more musically matured.

  • @toxigenic
    @toxigenic 2 роки тому +20

    I hope you emailed the scammer back and wrote that you're friends with Esther and that she was livid and that they'd be hearing from her PR Team and attorneys. Put a little scare into them! If would have been funny if you tape a session with Cerebral to discuss being scammed and how it made you feel, if would have been a hilarious way to highlight their service. Fun video as always!

    I found another recording of this piece and I nearly fell off my chair.
    In my opinion she played with more colour and warmth than Hilary's, not to mention that she was *TWELVE YEARS OLD* at the time (I think TwoSet made a reaction video to this recording some time ago). Her name is Leia Zhu and she is already a very accomplished musician, and I'm really excited to see her development!!

    I always wanted to learn how to play but now I have carpal tunnel syndrome and even just doing my job is difficult. Thank you for your wonderful content! I just love the sound of the violin!

    • @miklimecat9636
      @miklimecat9636 2 роки тому

      @Emma hi, this isn’t music related but I was thinking about carpal tunnel, which I used to be prone to from over-using the mouse. On top of which I developed arthritis bad enough that I couldn’t open doors, couldn’t twist the knob, nor could I lock it without pain. I did physical therapy, I took NSAIDS. They helped a little. I was only in my 30s so my doc found it unusual, me being so young.
      Long story short, when I took out the inflammatory foods from my diet my hands, feet, knees, hips, neck all got better. (I did Keto, with real food, not processed products). It took about a year. The diet itself, if you succeed in going into nutritional ketosis, is also anti inflammatory. So you get two anti inflammatory effects- first from taking out the bad foods, and 2nd from ketosis suppressing one of the inflammatory pathways (or something like that). You might want to do your own research into this. Especially keto-carnivore, a.k.a. Ketovore. It turns out some of us are unknowingly sensitive to a range of plants and it contributes to the inflammation. So taking out most plants for a while while you’re healing helps a lot. My hands are fine now. There’s only the vaguest residual stiffness that I don’t even notice. I’d say my hands are 96% back to what they used to be. Good enough for me, good enough.
      Again, sorry to come at this from left field, but I can relate. Hope this helps.

      It actually is, same thing with Erlkonig, I'm not sure but I think the Last Rose of Summer came from an old Irish folk piece which was then written into a song by an Irish poet which Ernst was inspired by - check this video its got some really interesting facts about the piece ua-cam.com/video/nWBNtSol0Lc/v-deo.html

    Personally I find Erlkönig (by Ernst) and Paganiniana (Arr. Milstein) to be harder than The Last Rose of the Summer, but I have can’t deny the difficulty of The Last Rose by Ernst it’s still unbelievably virtuosic, but I would not consider it the “Hardest” at least in terms of Technicality
    (Funnily Enough, Hilary Hahn has performed both of them)
