Hilary Hahn – Ysaÿe: Six Sonatas for solo violin ( www.deutschegrammophon.com )

Not a classical aficionado or even one for solo violin, but I gave this a listen while on a walk and it kinda blew me away.

The compositions are rather dynamic and beautiful. But also, the playing, as a non-expert, is ridiculous. Smooth and skilful as you’d expect but also just beastly. Like I’m not convinced this is a solo violin, Hahn is all over that instrument!
