Much is made in the music press of violinist Hilary Hahn's stunning technique, impeccable poise, and unshakable intonation. In that picture of perfection, however, one of her most striking character traits—her seemingly insatiable curiosity—can get a bit lost. Still, though she doesn't flaunt her boundary pushing with unusual concert dress or radical interpretive choices, she resolutely pursues her own interests with care and focus.

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.
