There she is again. It's Janine Jansen, to the left, whom aragorn was telling us about.

Yes,the same. Although I wouldn't discard the second violinist,Vilde Frang,a very sensitive player and soloist(with a big career behind her)
Another violinist I personally admire and a model of overcoming trauma and adversity(he survived a fire on his parents' farm ,with big burns on his upper body,face and bow arm) is Augustin Hadelich

I just came across this... didn't realize this was someone I follow on X. If all of this is true (and I believe it is), it almost seems as though this young woman is channeling Beethoven.
Anyway, here is her statement, and the video of her playing:
When I was still a student at the conservatory, my professors used to call me ‘Beethoven Girl’. Not just because I was the best Beethoven player they had, you see I had an unhealthy obsession with trying to get these notes to resonate at Beethoven’s truest intent.
I read what he read. I ate what he ate. I engulfed myself in Voltaire and Kant to breathe the same air of Enlightenment he breathed. To experience the frequencies he could not hear but were realer to him than his own reality. I learned from his students directly — Wilhelm Kempff and John O’Conor.
When I realized every piece of sheet music was altered by production for copyright purposes, I flew to Europe to get my hands on the First Edition of Beethoven Sonatas from Budapest. I hand painted this specific third movement on the walls of my dorm.
I graduated the conservatory with this as my final performance and went on to use it for my audition piece to get accepted as a fine arts major in university. The piece in its entirety is 1 hour long.
Here is Beethoven’s Sonata No 17 in D minor, the third movement—Tempest—performed to the enlightenment with which he originally intended.
Yours truly, Beethoven Girl
(Note: seems she had on the "switch" feature on her camera, which is why her hands are "backwards." Also: she states later she just moved from her parents' house and now only has room for an electric keyboard, which is a shame given how authentic she's being in every other respect--well, with the exception of her outfit. Speaking of, go to X and scroll down to see the portrait she's done of herself as Beethoven--seems she has a good sense of humor too!)
