Bach - Violin Concerto 1 [Hahn/Kahane-Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra]Here's lovely Hilary Hahn again, this disc is fast becoming a treasure, all four works on the disc are truly inspired, and are excellent interpretations recorded in a wonderful aural perspective, this disc has been in my Blog four times this year.
Again i must make mention of the booklet cover, one of the very best i have ever seen, well done DG for this package.
All of the movements were tremendously inspiring, a nice mix of things, i really do like the first movement, it has that get-go right from the start, launching straight into exhilaration [0:00-0:28], and when Hahn comes in, it's a beautiful transition [0:28+], a lot of the Concerto blurs into one beautiful whole, near the end there's some nice 'strange' notes from Hahn which are memorable [2:35-2:41], deep down it's the sheer exhilaration that gets me, it's a non stop tour de force.
Here's Hilary Hahn playing the first movement on YouTube.
