With "Eclipse," three-time Grammy winner Hilary Hahn returns to the big stage after an artistic hiatus. Together with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and its principal conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada, she devotes herself to the violin concertos of Dvořák and Ginastera as well as Sarasate's virtuoso Carmen Fantasy. Recorded in 2021 at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, the listener senses in the powerful and emotional playing the artist's blossoming and the next step in her musical development.
"Hahn (...) takes the opportunity to shine in Technicolor colors. In the Dvořák, she never loses drive, logically defining the work by rhythmic impulse, yet allowing herself a lean, warm tone. The Sarasate is wild, wanton freestyle to the finale. Before that, she already lets the tiger out of the violin case with Ginastera. In his dissolute cadenzas, she succeeds in a petulant brusqueness of an elegant kind that drives one to listen." (Fono Forum)
