Hilary Hahn — Retrospective (2-CD)

Over two discs, explore the magic of Hilary Hahn’s violin through her eyes and ears as a solo artist. Retrospective compiles highlights of Hahn’s recording career — hand-picked by Hahn herself — into a musical self portrait, including acclaimed classic recordings and several new works she has premiered.

The album artwork and additional art pieces inside the liner notes were designed by Hilary’s dedicated fans and commissioned via her social media accounts.
