Taught her everything i know....so proud

[kikaching888]

it's hard to imagine no matter how perfect she already is, she is still improving even as she gets older. Wow. She is really unique. This performance is mind blowing, every detail is perfectly executed, but so subtle too, it makes so much sense.

wow i actually got goosebumps listening to this... i wasn't even listening to the stereo version! bravo!

She has so much conviction in her playing. I think that's the only way you could pull off this concerto. Every note is played with so much beauty and confidence.

I have 2 beloved recordings of this concerto; Oistrakh & Borris Belkin. I didn't think that anyone could compare with either of these performances-- that is, until now. Parts of this concerto always reminds me of something you might hear in an Alfred Hitchcock movie; so much suspense. Hilary Hahn's playing is full of suspense. Not a single bar bores me. She's not only a joy to listen to but a pleasure to watch as well. No funny faces or dancing about like Joshua Bell. Great form & concentration.

One thing I like so much is that Hahn never over performs as some other musicians do, for example Bell. She is very controlled, but still perfect on interpretation. This year I will go to her concert for the 4th time :D
