Hildegard Posted November 21, 2000 Report Share Posted November 21, 2000 I heard her play the Beethoven concerto with the NSO at their Beethoven festival. She's great! She seems to be so aware of what she's doing all the time - everything is to the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Fine Posted November 22, 2000 Report Share Posted November 22, 2000 Well... I'm not quite sure what viola-mom is taking Ole Bull's post to mean, but I quite agree with him (in the light I see it). Of the "modern" violinists out there, Hilary Hahn is certainly the best in my eyes. Her technique and tone have a certain "something" that I can find in the recordings of the "masters" I can listen to her recordings more than once in a day without causing pain... in fact, it brings me joy. Her recordings of the Bach Solo Sonaten and Partiten is really very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Leong Posted November 22, 2000 Report Share Posted November 22, 2000 Do a search on Hahn. Many of us have gushed about her playing previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicaelaB Posted November 22, 2000 Report Share Posted November 22, 2000 I've seen Hilary Hahn three times- twice at the Skaneatlas Festival playing Bach and Brahms and once with the Syracuse Symphony playing Brahms. I don't really enjoy her recordings all that much but I thought she was terrific live. She has such an enormous sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
