Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring the virtuosic performances of violinist Hilary Hahn with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, this ambitious classical release contrasts two highly complex, demanding concertos. The recording was widely celebrated for its technical mastery, balancing Schoenberg's difficult atonal serialism with Sibelius's sweeping, romantic grandeur.
