I like Hilary Hahn - not only one of the very best violinists in the world, but whenever I hear her speak she always comes across as a thoroughly decent and engaging person.

Here is an a film produced by one of her sponsors, string supplier Thomastik-Infeld in Vienna . Get past the horrendously cheesy opening and voiceover to enjoy the interview. How lovely to hear her enthusing about the Proms as one of her favourite stages. So crucial that the Proms survives, but that's another thread ...

Do hope to see her peform on her next appearances on our shores.
