Hilary Hahn, Andrés Orozco-Estrada – Ginastera: Violin Concerto, Op. 30: IIIa. Scherzo pianissimo

Hilary Hahn’s album Eclipse features Ginastera’s Violin Concerto, a strikingly original 20th-century gem. The violinist performed this piece in Frankfurt in June 2021.You can enjoy her captivating performance of the third movement’s first part - Scherzo pianissimo. Sempre volante, misterioso e appena sensibile.

Ginastera’s Concerto was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and first performed by them and Ruggiero Ricci under the direction of Leonard Bernstein at the newly-opened Lincoln Center in 1963. A native of Buenos Aires, Ginastera made his name in the United States during the 1950s with works that combined elements of traditional Argentinian music and edgy modernism. His Violin Concerto, composed during the chaotic years between Juan Perón’s 1955 deposal and the military coup of 1966, explores the infinite possibilities of variation within the form: Ginastera introduces a multitude of themes in its breathtaking opening solo cadenza and transforms them across three intricately crafted, absorbingly complex movements for violin and orchestra. The central Adagio is notable for turning the spotlight on the principal players of the orchestra, as well as the soloist. “I’ve been obsessed with the Ginastera for years,” notes Hahn. “It’s tantalizing and magical and weird. It’s a mix of all of the rawest feelings you can have as a human being, but in a format that is pure genius.”


Hilary Hahn’s latest album, Eclipse, celebrates the power of authenticity. Recorded with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony and Andrés Orozco-Estrada, it sees the triple Grammy-winning violinist deliver interpretations of three works charged with universal emotions yet rooted in their composers’ musical heritage: Dvořák’s Violin Concerto, Ginastera’s Violin Concerto and Sarasate’s Carmen Fantasy. “This recording tells stories I didn’t understand until I returned to the stage after a long hiatus: the elation of coming into one’s own, the declaration of an artistic identity, and what it means to regain your native language through music,” says Hahn.
