Description
Classical violinists can’t complain when it comes to choosing encores. Hundreds of vintage pieces are up for grabs, written by legendary violinist-composers such as Fritz Kreisler and Pablo de Sarasate, or by great violinist-arrangers like Jascha Heifetz. But Hilary Hahn, one of the most artistically restless and resourceful violinists of our time, wanted more. She hatched an idea to restock the old pool of encores with fresh new pieces — not just two or three, but a couple dozen of them, now documented on the album In 27 Pieces: The Hilary Hahn Encores with pianist Cory Smythe.
