Review of Hilary Hahn: In her own words ... on J.S. Bach


For someone so young, Hahn's maturity in playing Bach's works is astonishing. Just a couple of bars from Concerto for 2 Violins in D major is enough for any listener to praise her talents. In addition, she shares a very crucial freedom in Bach's music, individual interpretation. She may talk like a very young person, but her playing defies the mathematics of age.
