Violinist Hilary Hahn
Photo by Michael Patrick O'Leary
Violinist Hilary Hahn said the Violin Concerto #4 by Henri Vieuxtemps is "a great statement for a violinist; a beautiful, lyrical work with flashiness and technical qualities that really demonstrate everything the violin can do." She performs the Vieuxtemps Violin Concerto #4 at 2:00pm today for your Midday Masterpiece.
