Description:

Hilary Hahn's collection of violin sotanas kicks off DG's "Mozart 2006" project! This is Hilary's third recording with DG, the first release for the 250th anniversary year of her birth in 2006, and her first chamber work for DG, as well as her first Mozart studio recording. The new recording features the same intelligent and thoughtful interpretation of Mozart that distinguished the previous two recordings, and offers a limpid Mozart with a remarkable sense of purity. Nathalie Chou on piano also gives a fine performance, perfectly in tune with Hilary, and brings out the full charm of the brilliant piano part, which is also called "Piano Sonata with Violin". Shu, by the way, has been Hahn's best partner since she was 13 years old, and the ensemble is in perfect harmony.
