After her last two albums of completely new compositions, Silfra and In 27 Pieces The Hilary Hahn Encores , Hilary returns with classic-romantic repertoire
Two-times Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn now combines Mozart s beloved Concerto in A, K 219 with its fiery Turkish episode with the rich, virtuosic romanticism of Vieuxtemps Violin Concerto No. 4.
More than 25 years have passed since Hilary first learned both concertos: Ever since early childhood, opening the sheet music to a piece I love but haven t yet played has felt like a magical combination of winning the lottery and setting out on an epic trip.
Mozart 5 and Vieuxtemps 4 are part of me. They remind me of the rich legacy of classical music and of the wonderful continuity of tradition, yet they are also timeless. When I play these notes onstage with my colleagues, I don t reflect on the past; I m caught up in the dialogue, looking forward to whatever the next phrase will bring. Hilary Hahn
