Hilary Hahn — Eclipse (CD)

“This album is my return after an extended time out of the spotlight. Rediscovering my voice felt like the time following an eclipse; artistic evolution came from many sources, but it is often set in motion by big events that bring about a change of perspective and reveal one’s true self.” — Hilary Hahn 

Grammy-winning violinist Hilary Hahn celebrates her return to the state with Eclipse. Recorded with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and its music director Andrés Orozco-Estrada, Eclipse delivers interpretations of three works charged with universal emotions and rooted in their composers’ musical heritage: Dvořák’s Violin Concerto, a tour-de-force from the Czech composer’s Slavic period; Ginastera’s Violin Concerto, a strikingly original 20th century gem, and Sarasate’s Carmen Fantasy, among the greatest virtuoso showpieces of all time.
