I can't stop listening to this. I've been playing it over and over again for weeks. That one climactic note....
It so bewitched me, that I had to look up who the violinist is: it's Hilary Hahn, which explains why it's so good.
I was surprised to learn that Hilary plays a Vuillaume rather than a Stradivarius or Guarneri. I guess whatever the secret is, Vuillaume figured it out too.

When I observed an attorney in my office being forced to retire by the "normals" who despised her "oddity" I realized we might be slightly autistic. She was a diagnosed Asperger, career attorney, supposedly protected by law, Federal employee, yet none of the supposed protections were of any use. I had so many traits, thought flows, reactions similar to her and we were friends, but I still able to recognize those oddities and self-correct, while she was unable. But, I'm never able to be sufficiently self-correcting to be competitive in a world of "normals." I've never been diagnosed, but the Meyers-Briggs exam certainly identified me as be a outlier within any group of people.
Just noticed this comment--sorry for the long delay. This has been my experience also: just "normal" enough to sort of get by (and not be diagnosed until far too late) but not normal enough to really succeed or flourish.
