Free Music Review: A Maria Callas of the Violin
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this CD mainly because it contained "Lark Ascending" which is one of my favorites. In this record, her musicality stands out reminding of the fluidity of Maria Callas. I didn't know violin could sound this much effortless and refreshing. I think that Hilary Hahn is one of the best violinist ever. The reason I am not giving five stars is that I was not impressed by other elements, ie, the orchestra, sound quality, the choice of the other music in the CD.
Elgar: Violin Concerto / Lark Ascending Poster
This is an oddly cool performance of one of the most overtly sentimental--indeed, gushing--pieces in the violin repertoire. In an effort simply to present, rather than interpret, the music, Hahn seems to have gone overboard--she plays with little portamento and vibrato, she keeps away from the music's soul. All that having been said, the playing itself is faultless, her tone lovely, and by the last movement her virtuosity is truly impressive. The classic performance remains Menuhin's, but Hahn and Davis and his LSO have much to offer here. Vaughan Williams' gorgeous-if-sappy "The Lark Ascending" is played ravishingly, with more overt feeling than the Elgar, and again the LSO add greatly to the pleasure with the woodwind section--and clarinet in particular--shining brightly. --Robert LevineClassical Music CDs
