Definitely a great musician. Her intonation is so precise that it's enjoyable just to listen to her for pitch control alone. When she plays two strings at once her pitch precision is gorgeous. Listen to her play Paganini double harmonics vs Perlman, Rabin, or Schaham. She even plays the harmonics sweetly and they sound like the violin is whistling. I've yet to hear such intonation precision in others.

It's no surprise to me that she has won Grammy's.

@angelishify If you have ever played the violin seriously, you would have to know that it is a very demanding instrument. Only the most disciplined and hardened personality can bring music out this piece of wood and four slender strings. You will see this kind of discipline, what some call "coldness" in many great violinists - Heifetz comes to mind. Just close your eyes and listen to the music - there is no coldness there at all, but that beauty comes only at the price of unflinching dedication.

Elegance, pure simple elegance

her pictures does not mean anything to me, but when she starts to play with this confidence I feel butterflies in my stomach.

Hilary is simply the most amazing violinist ever. She is seemingly incapable of playing out of tune. Her Tchaikovsky concerto recorded with the Royal Liverpool orchestra, just makes me cry, it's just so beautiful.
