Hilary Hahn | Paris CD

Release Date: 5 March 2021

Hilary Hahn is one of the most innovative and interesting artists of our time. The three-time GRAMMY award winner is returning to Deutsche Grammophon with her long-awaited new album and pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of a city that has been close to her heart throughout her career. “Paris,” says Hahn, “is about expression, it’s about emotion, it’s about feeling connected to a city and a cultural intersection, in a way that’s inspiring for the player and the listener. It has Parisian threads all the way through it. But it’s also a big reference to the arc of my career.”

“These pieces together represent a living history of artistic culture. Everything in this recording is a labor of love, for the love of music and for the love of expression.” – Hilary Hahn
