Barber, Meyer: Violin Concertos
Hahn, Wolff, Saint Paul CO
(Sony Classics)
Imagine a cold-brisk day; you stand amongst autumn leaves. Buffeted by the elements, you soar then plummet. You are being swept between melancholy and sheer joy..., Now you have an idea why these two violin concertos, sit so well together. Hilary as pulled off an amazing feat by marrying these two works on one album. It is her sheer passion that shines through these beautiful masterpieces. I pray she performs/records Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade soon.
