This is my favorite violinist Hilary Hahn! I hope you can like her too!!
Hilary Hahn was born in Lexington, Virginia. At the age of three she moved to Baltimore, where she began playing the violin one month before her fourth birthday in the Suzuki program of the Peabody Conservatory. For the next five years, Hahn studied in Baltimore with Klara Berkovich, a native of Odessa who taught for 25 years at the Leningrad School for the Musically Gifted. From age 10 to 17, she studied at The Curtis Institute of Music with the legendary Jascha Brodsky - the last surviving student of the great Belgian violinist Eugene Ysaÿe - working closely with him until his death at age 89. Having completed her university requirements at 16, Hahn deferred graduation and remained at the school for several more years, taking additional elective courses in languages, literature, writing and drama, coaching regularly with Jaime Laredo, and continuing to study chamber music with Felix Galimir and Gary Graffman.
A year and a half after entering the Curtis Institute of Music, Hahn made her major orchestral debut. In March 1995, at age 15, Hahn made her German debut playing the Beethoven concerto with Lorin Maazel and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in a concert broadcast on radio and television throughout Europe. Two months later she received the Avery Fisher Career Grant. She attended the Marlboro Music Festival for several summers, and in 1996 made her Carnegie Hall debut as soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
I like the CD that she plays Bach.She's really fantastic but I like Gidon Kremer the most.
ReplyDeleteYes!She plays Bach very nice! I like the sound she played, each note sounds powerful and clear. I like Gidon Kremer plays the Mozart, don't you think he likes playing with the open mouth?? ^O^
