DVD Reviews of Hilary Hahn: A Portrait
DVD Review: Hilary Is a True Blessing!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's beyond words. My feelings about this extraordinary artist are impossible to quantify. I would have an easier time describing the most beautiful sunset that I have ever seen. All I can say, is that this DVD slays what is left of my rendered humble heart. DVD Review: Very Talented Muscian
Summary: 5 Stars
Very nicely organized. Hilary Hahn is the best native born American violinist. As a nation, we need more of this kind of young people to make USA more cultural country. I am a little disappointed for not having she plays more familiar violin concertos composed by Brahms and Mozart in the video. Perhaps she would make music DVD that include those.DVD Review: A solid rental
Summary: 3 Stars
For fans of Hilary Hahn's music, this hour-long documentary is a welcome look into her touring life and personality. Hahn guides us around her music academy, the Curtis Institute, there's some short performances and recording sessions, a glimpse into Hahn's life on the road and some interviews probing her views on musical interpretation, recording, and performance. The camera-work and editing are serviceable and about what you'd expect from a television program.
Hahn seems to do her best to entertain the camera but ultimately the program presents what Hahn is willing to share with the public. She specifically avoids divulging her views on anything extra-musical-- not a bad stance for a musician, of course-- but it means there's absolutely zero in the way of controversial, juicy or edgy material on the DVD.
There's some bonus scenes featuring her collaboration with Natalie Zhu, but both come across as a bit stiff in front of the camera here.
Overall, a decent hour of programming for fans of Hilary or classical music in general.
DVD Review: ST
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a great performance of Korngold Violin Concerto. The body of the movie is really not that long but OK. I wish there are more of her performance clips at her younger age. I guess that's why it's not a documentary movie but a portrait.
DVD Review: Pesto Violino!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hilary is a fantastic violinist. Her tempi are a bit fast, but she can handle the speed much like Anthony Newman on the organ or harpsichord.
If you want a great recording of the Bach Violin concerti, this is it!
