Hilary Hahn plays Bach (CD)

“This is quite simply magnificent violin paying, the sort that while you’re listening to it convinces you that the music couldn’t possibly be played any other way . . . you soon realize just how far she’s come since her teenage years, the tempo marginally more mobile and the variety of nuance and tone on offer so much wider than it had been.” — Gramophone

Hilary Hahn burst onto the classical music scene in 1997 with her debut album Hilary Hahn plays Bach. Since then, she has enjoyed an incredibly successful international career and is considered one of the world’s finest violinists, winning countless awards for her performances and commercial recordings. On this album, released in 2018, Hahn revisits the music of Bach that launched her into stardom with interpretations influenced by her decades in the spotlight.
