Prelude to Hilary Hahn concert

November 13, 2005 at 8:31 AM

Tomorrow night I am going to hear Hilary Hahn at the Kennedy Center. She will play sonatas by Mozart and Beethoven with her piano accompanist Natalie Zhu. I checked her website, which is wonderful in many ways, to prepare myself, and I’m so glad I did. She has a new recording of Mozart sonatas on DG, and her website has sound clips of the sonatas and her spoken Listening Guide to the recording. She is a wonderful teacher, and she has focused on outreach and teaching to children because she was a child prodigy. I’m listening to her now, and you can, too, at http://hilaryhahn.com/albums/mozart-sonatas.shtml . I will write about her concert after I hear it.
