Better Violinist: Vanessa Mae or Hilary Hahn

[Paganini Alfredo]

Well, comparing violinists of this caliber, it really is like top tier headphones; it all comes down to personal taste!

Never seen Heifetz live but have heard his recordings. I've also heard Hahn's recordings as well.

However after seeing Hilary Hahn live tonight play with the Seattle Symphony.. Well folks, unamped and live she's incredibly the real deal.

Yes this is the 6 year bump.

I've been exploring Hilary Hahn's music the past few weeks. She is one of the great violinists of today.
Some wonderful performances on YouTube.
 

 
Now for something completely different.

I have quite a few recordings by Hillary Hahn, she's my 2nd favorite after Janine Jansen, who I have seen live already.
I have no recodings of Vanessa Who?

Just to be sure I went and saw Leonidas Kavakos and Yuja Wang again tonight and Leonidas is a great violinist but Hilary Hahn was so smooth/refined but also very commanding.

Frankfurt Radio Symphony uploaded their concert, masterful playing. I can now relive the performance over and over:
