Hilary Hahn's Tour Postcards: Amsterdam
"... the concertmaster, Alex Kerr, is a former classmate
of mine. He graduated from the Curtis Institute of Music in
1992 ...Back then, he seemed to be all grown-up at the ripe old
age of 22, and he remembered me as being a little squirt, at the
age of 12..."
Read about Hilary's recent trip to Copenhagen in her postcards
from the road: HilaryHahn.com
"Hilary Hahn has given us a recording for the ages. The 21-year
old violinist offers some of the most vibrant, energized, and moving
playing that can be heard on today's concert stage...On a scale of 1
to 10, this is a triumphant 10." -- Seattle Weekly, February 2002
