Hilary Hahn in Anchorage Last night, the Anchorage Concert Association presented the young virtuoso violinist, Hilary Hahn. The concert was trememdous - the highlight was the Bach Partita No.2 in D minor, KWV 1004. The Partita is a monumental masterpiece and the Chaconne is the staggering finale. Long after the performance, the piece still stunningly resonated note by note in my head. I would love to hear Hahn play this piece in twenty years. It's a piece that will grow and become richer throughout the life of a performer. What a tremendous thing it must be to have a piece of music such as the Partita as a lifetime companion. 5:18:41 PM    comment []
