Hilary Hahn, violin
Cory Smythe, piano

One of the most sought after artists of her generation, Hilary Hahn has drawn international fame and recognition, including two Grammy Awards, multiple Diapason “d'Or of the Year” and “Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik” prizes, and the 2008 Classic FM/Gramophone Artist of the Year.
 
“Hilary Hahn isn’t hung up on technique, but she’s a perfectionist who unites expression and skill with uninhibited naturalness: the essence of violin playing.”
– Die Welt am Sonntag (Berlin)
