經典回顧 Retrospective

從1990年代末期以一張國際發行的個人專輯打開全球知名度後，當時不滿二十歲，還在費城寇帝斯音樂學院求學的希拉蕊‧韓，以不見年輕人血氣方剛表現欲，而是從容不迫的氣度和細膩的音樂表情，深受全球聽眾的喜愛與評論家的讚賞，很快成為就成為美國新生代小提琴家的代表人物之一。二十多年來，希拉蕊‧韓已經發行過十多張個人專輯，並且三度獲得葛萊美獎。 希拉蕊‧韓認為，錄音與現場演出最大的不同，在於它是永久性的加強自己與作品、作曲家及合作音樂家之間的關係。一但錄音結束，這部作品就會成為自己，成為音樂DNA的一部分。而錄音能夠觸及的聽眾更廣，比現場音樂會更能聯繫音樂家與聽眾之間的關係。 這一套黑膠是由希拉蕊‧韓親自策畫，從過去在DG的錄音中，選出她認為最能為自己從23歲到現在的藝術代言的片段，包括全長近30分鐘，過去從未發行的與鋼琴家科里‧史密特合作的莫札特第二十七號小提琴奏鳴曲現場實況錄音。封面設計則是從希拉蕊‧韓的樂迷投稿中甄選出來。 Double vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release, an artist portrait curated by Hilary Hahn herself, Retrospective features recordings from Deutsche Grammophon artist as well as almost 30 minutes of new, unreleased material: Mozart's Violin Sonata K. 379 and new recordings of three tracks from her Encores album.
