Boston Globe on Hilary Hahn

Hilary Hahn

Jeremy Eichler reviewed Hilary Hahn's Friday night performance at NEC's Jordan Hall for The Boston Globe. He gives props to Ms. Hahn's wonderful accompanist, something which I had neglected to do in earlier posts, but Lisitsa is a tremendous choice. I should also mention that the performance was recorded by WGBH for later broadcast (check back here for time and date).

Here is bit of Mr. Eichler's review:

"While she may no longer be a child prodigy, Hahn's youthful and
diminutive presence still lent her a vaguely heroic air as she
dispatched from memory a challenging program of sonatas by Janacek,
Mozart, Tartini, Ysaÿe, and Beethoven with consummate poise and
precision. Her playing sparkled with all the technical refinement and
natural musicality you could ask for. She was partnered with facility,
clarity, and empathy by the Ukrainian-born pianist Valentina Lisitsa."


Read all of Hahn continues her rise in artistry.
