Hilary Hahn - Discography

Does anyone own this album? How does it rate especially to her previous Bach Concertos and Elgar? Thanks.

I will probably get this as well. Hahn seems to get better and better with time, and her Bach concerto album is still one of my top ten favourites (along with Hope's).

Hilary Hahn: Bach: Violin & Voice

I bought it yesterday from Barnes & Noble Booksellers and this CD is quite sumptuous in Ms. Hahn's rendition of Bach's sacred and secular arias. The real standout performance is Erbarme dich from St. Matthew's Passion. This is my first and only CD collection of Bach's arias so I have no comparisons to others with which to draw my observations. All that I can say about Ms. Hahn's CD is that it is lovely and well worth the price of admission.

Own every single one of her albums, this one seems like she's taking a supporting role instead of the main voice?

Yes. This seems to be the case, but I would caution that she takes a co-leading role as one of the three voices on the album.

Both sound quality and balance between violin and voice are very good. Dynamic range is wide and uncompressed with Ms. Hahn playing throughout major portions of each aria. Overall, I am well pleased with the concept behind this album and I believe it shows her maturing style and added grace to share her virtuoso status among fellow musicians.
