henriette.vonschnakenburg@kdschmid.de„Sibelius’ Violin Concerto in the first half of the concert was exquisitely performed by Augustin Hadelich. His playing had great naturalness – nothing felt forced, never did it seem like he was in competition with the orchestra. His cadenza unfurled poetically, the double-stopping never gruff.“
„Hadelich plays with outstanding power of expression and great mastery, without ever smoothing over the score’s intentional roughness. With his carefully crafted tone he is able to espouse all Ligeti’s musical masks and provocations with great vigour. Thomas Adès’ cadenza drives Hadelich well and truly to the top of the circus tent. Magnificent!“
„Augustin Hadelich demonstrates a phenomenal style of violin playing. Incisive and full of temperament, with rubati both sensible and sensitive.“
„Augustin Hadelich is one of the best violinists in the world.“
„The essence of Hadelich’s playing is beauty: reveling in the myriad ways of making a phrase come alive on the violin, delivering the musical message with no technical impediments whatsoever, and thereby revealing something from a plane beyond ours.“
