Gramophone Award Winner 2024 - Instrumental
Hilary Hahn finds magic, morbidity, merrymaking and much more in a brilliant new account of Ysaÿe's six affectionate character-sketches for his violinist friends.
"Hahn's unique qualities - her rich, pulsing tone, her technical mastery, her unabashed confidence, her imagination and her ability to present the music as freshminted inclines me towards her recording as the finest currently available.' - Gramophone Recording Of The Month, August 2023
"There is no shortage of wonderful recordings of Eugène Ysaÿe's six homages, but the American violinist Hahn instantly joins the top tier with this superb disc. She is thrillingly alive to every quotation, interpolation and instance of devotion and admiration in the Belgian's 1923 works…Stunning.' - 5/5 The Sunday Times
'Hahn's playing responds with enthralling artistry to every mercurial shade of the music's flow of moods and ideas...It's a measure of Hahn's mastery that not just all of violin playing seems to be here, but all of music itself too.' BBC Music Instrumental Choice of the Month Sept 23
