[ Deutsche Grammophon / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 14 October 2022
The brand new album from the three-time Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn. Her most personal album to date, recorded immediately after lockdown, the album was recorded with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony and Andrés Orozco-Estrada, and features Dvořák's and Ginastera's Violin Concertos as well as Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy.
"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 can come 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
BBC Music Magazine Award Nomination 2023 - Concerto
"It is the Ginastera Concerto that is the real star item here...Hahn hurls herself into the fray with scintillating abandon, matched by stunningly articulate and rhythmically beguiling playing from the Frankfurt Radio Symphony under Andrés Orozco-Estrada." Five Stars - BBC Music Magazine December 2022 Concerto Choice
International Classical Music Awards 2023
Nominated - Concerto
"Her playing was technically brilliant and she handled the more difficult sequences of playing on the bridge of the instrument and plucking with consummate skill. Her duets with various instruments of the orchestra were all precise and incisive.
Her playing ranged from the whimsical through the serene to the extravagant and all the time she was formidably focused on the music. There were times when she seemed to be in trancelike state while at other times she seemed to be in a rage. Throughout it was as though there was no effort being made and that the technical wizardry and sumptuous music flowed effortlessly from her instrument." NZ Herald review of Hilary's Auckland concert on August 5th 2022
