Free Music Review: More Hilary Hahn, Please
Hit: 5 Stars
I am lucky enough to live in a part of the world frequented by artists of the highest caliber; with respect to violinists, in the past few years, this has included Anne-Sophie Mutter, Gil Shaham, Maxim Vengerov, Andrew Manze, Joshua Bell, Midori, and more. I have seen Hilary Hahn seven times, both in concerto and recital performances, and her appearances stand out among the rest. That is remarkable, given her willingness to bridge chasms of genre from Bach to Stravinsky, Paganini to Schoenberg, with all of them exceptionally played (I do admit that I find her Mozart --with Zhu -- a bit sterile, my tastes running to the Podger-Cooper Sonata recordings, but I'm hoping that the new Lisitsa pairing will revitalize her recital appearances). I will concede that I have made the geeky trek backstage to meet-the-artists events, and found her every bit as personable as she is talented.
The Schoenberg-Sibelius album, then, is not so remarkable as it is consistent with her genius. I worry about the reviews that precede mine and their emphasis on the difficulty (and alien qualities) of the Schoenberg, that they might make potential buyers shy away from this disc. Miss Hahn's abilities and enthusiasm for the piece disguise its otherness, to the point where it seems organic with the majority of major works of the 20th century: a fan of Shostakovich' Seventh or Prokofiev's Sixth will not feel lost among the notes played here.
Miss Hahn has carved out a violinist's niche in the Classical world much the same as Cecilia Bartoli's in the vocal arena: she has a loyal fan base (me among them) who will follow her wherever she chooses to go. And her artistry has earned her that loyalty.
