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 (she seems to have located a hotline to Ysaÿe's muse) - inclines me towards her recording as the finest currently available." Gramophone Recording of the Month Aug 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." Sunday Times
