“Spellbinding . . . there is mastery in every silken phrase, every poised lyrical phrase . . . an object lesson in beautiful violin playing.” — Chicago Tribune (on Hilary Hahn’s performance of Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1)
Early in her career, acclaimed violinist Hilary Hahn recorded a diverse and expansive collection of albums for Sony Classical, ranging from serene Bach to passionate Brahms and sprightly Stravinsky. Collected here for the first time are Hahn’s five Sony albums, complete with standard violin repertoire and a few off-the-beaten-path selections, including Edgar Meyer’s Violin Concerto, written especially for Hahn.
