Hilary Hahn Plays Bach Preludio at Grammy's

Hilary Hahn plays Preludio of Bach's Partita for Solo Violin No. 3 at the Grammy's on Feb. 8, 2009. She was nominated for two categories for her Sibelius and Schoenberg Violin Concertos Album released in 2008-Best Classical Album and Best Instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra, and ended up winning the Best Instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra, which will be her second Grammy. I apologize in advance for the poor audio and video quality and plan to upload another from the direct source. (And sorry for the sound at 2:44 - that was my email going off...) EDIT: Sorry I never could upload this from the actual file so this will have to do. And just so you know, the original sound quality was much better... Disclaimer: I'm not trying to infringe on any copyrights, so if anybody has a problem with this video, please tell me and I will take it down immediately. Otherwise, enjoy!
