Hilary Hahn is a splendid violinist, with an easy, flawless technique and a tone of pristine purity. She has already gained a reputation as a singularly serious performer; even her photographs show her in strikingly thoughtful poses. Indeed, her approach to the four Mozart sonatas on this recording seems to be almost too thoughtful: everything is so carefully planned that there is no room for imagination or spontaneity. Her tone is invariably beautiful but never varies in color or intensity; shifts of mood and character are heralded with tempo changes, ritards, breaks, and long pauses, even when Mozart clearly indicates a connection, as in the Finale of the Sonata K. 526. The ensemble with her long-time friend and partner Natalie Zhu is excellent, but they seem to have agreed to disagree on certain points, such as the execution of trills and ornaments, and the articulation of short notes: Hahn's playing is rounder and more lyrical, Zhu's brisker and more pointed. Both follow the current trend of superimposing dynamics and contrasts on the written score, as if they did not trust the music to speak for itself, but this only results in fussiness and a loss of continuity and simplicity. However, the balance is so good that the interchange between more and less prominent voices comes out perfectly. --Edith Eisler

There is no fault but no fun. -  |
Mozart: Violin Sonatas K. 301, 304, 376 & 526 Review |
|
Mozart's Violin Sotatas of Hahn is too clean instead of the unpleasantness of Anne-Sophie Mutter, and there is no fault but no fun in Hahn's Mozart. I think that it is not more than the average point, though played well in K. 304 and with a rise in K. 526. It is easier to listen more than Szeryng and Haebler, but it doesn't reach far from Mark Steinberg & Mitsuko Uchida in interest.
Natalie Zhu is good. Recorded in 2004. |

smooth as silk - |
Mozart: Violin Sonatas K. 301, 304, 376 & 526 Review |
|
There's a natural fit between these performers and Mozart that is delightful. There is a balance that needs to be struck: not too timid (lest Mozart sound like a bore) and not too course (lest Mozart not sound beautiful). Here we have it: performances that are alive and exude grace at the same time. |

Marvelous Mozart! Hahn and Zhu are superb! - |

One can only imagine what Wolfgang heard in his mind when he wrote this.
I imagine it sounded just like this. |

I found, in this CD, one of the best performance for this Mozart's beautiful sonatas.
Hilary Hahn is, as usual, excelent with the violin. Natalie Zhu a great partner with an excelent work with the piano. As a great summary, this is a CD to enjoy. Highly recommended. |

Hilary Hahn has been a favorite since she was a young teen. She brings a sensitivity and an intelligence to her music that immediately sets her apart from her peers.
I am thrilled that she has teamed with Natalie Zhu on this album. I have been to Zhu recitals, and have been thrilled by her dynamic performances. I look forward to many more wonderful offerings from this wonderful duo. |
