Hilary Hahn: Collecting All the Pieces

Much is made in the music press of violinist Hilary Hahn's stunning technique, impeccable poise, and unshakable intonation.

@boy970518 This piece is called Fly Forward which was actually written for Hahn. It is available in recording form if you really want it.

When I was a kid you could say Heifetz, Rubinstein, Sutherland or Pavarotti and everybody could tell you what those people did. Whether they were the best is beside the point. Knowinng those names kept us connected to composers who defined western civilization as well as any inventor or political thinker. There are equally worthy classical musicians today, including Hilary, and they are unknowns. Fear the day when too many people have never heard of Bach or Mozart.
