Album insights
Hilary Hahn, a triple Grammy winner, returns to the stage with the album "Eclipse." Accompanied by the hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt and conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada, she offers interpretations of three emotionally charged pieces deeply rooted in their composers' musical heritage. The album features Dvořák's Violin Concerto from his Slavic period, Ginastera's Violin Concerto, and Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy, a renowned virtuosic masterpiece. For Hahn, this marks her significant musical journey post a yearlong sabbatical, experiencing artistic solitude away from the limelight. Describing the album as a creation of beauty in challenging times, she reflects on a transformative musical evolution post the Carmen Fantasy, feeling artistically renewed and ready for anything. This pivotal moment signifies a rebirth akin to the return of light after an eclipse, encapsulating her artistic progression and newfound unity in music.
