Truly amazing! I’m shocked that someone with her talent and probable schedule gave these 2 the time of day.

I got to meet her many years ago in Washington DC. I had won tickets from the local classical music station (WGMS) in Washington, DC for the NSO’s Beethoven Festival.

That year they were performing his concertos (piano, triple, violin). I heard her play the violin concerto. Afterwards she was at a table selling some of her CDs. I picked up one of the same piece she played that night and she was nice enough to autograph it to me.

It was a truly memorable experience to hear her play live.

Maybe not. Averaging over 200K hits/month since it’s been posted.

That probably drives a lot of interest in HH.

Plus HH is allowed to have a little fun while she is promoting her CDs and mp3s.

Happiest thing to happen to me all day.

Yes Silly but the guys were an interesting contrast. Made her more real then just standing there busting out chops.

Her notes are crystal clear ... had never heard of her.... following now.

Thanks for excellent post !

HH, like other wonderful musicians, became aware of Bach at an early age. She said

Bach is, for me, the touchstone that keeps my playing honest. Keeping the intonation pure in double stops, bringing out the various voices where the phrasing requires it, crossing the strings so that there are not inadvertent accents, presenting the structure in such a way that it's clear to the listener without being pedantic – one can't fake things in Bach, and if one gets all of them to work, the music sings in the most wonderful way.

Nice quote.

I’ve played (at) the piano since 6 years old (63 years) rarely miss a day, can’t read but have been able to connect my hands, fingers with what I feel.

What has always amazed me is there are only 12 notes yet so much beautiful music to be played and in so many ways ...

Feel, touch, harmonics, tempos and compositions.

Having a quality instrument to play is wonderful but there are few who really reach expression like her and even fewer who compose music worthy of playing repeatedly.
