Album Description:
In another original pairing violinist Hilary Hahn brings together the familiar, highly commercial and long-awaited recording of the famous Sibelius Violin Concerto with the rarely performed Violin Concerto by Arnold Schoenberg. Hahn brings out the romantic qualities of Schoenberg's Concerto--known as one of the most difficult pieces in the violin repertoire--showing why it makes an ideal coupling with the Sibelius--"Hahn didn't merely play the notes, she passionately engaged with them." (The Daily Telegraph on a live performance of the Schoenberg Violin Concerto). As both an acclaimed Sibelius interpreter and a known advocate of 20th-century music in concert halls worldwide, Esa-Pekka Salonen is the ideal musical partner in this project.

This wonderful CD starts off with a delightfully *lyrical,* yes, lyrical, reading of the Schoenberg concerto. If this performance doesn't make you fall in love with it, nothing will. It's not at the caliber of the ... Read More

Hilary Hahn's Schoenberg and Sibelius
A courageous Hilary Hahn and Esa-Pekka Solonen really crack this hard nut, the Schoenberg Violin Concerto, making it listenable music rather than what seems to be a collection of difficult 20th Century gestures, as it's often apt to sound. Their performance is better than the one by Amoyal and Boulez (Erato/Ultima), but perhaps not quite as good as the out of print classic account of Israel Baker and Robert ... Read More

This recording pairs two concerti that, despite the obvious differences in tonal language, have much in common: both are large-scale, impassioned and, at times, achingly lyrical works that require technical mastery and musical maturity from both soloist and orchestra.
As far as the Schoenberg goes, Hahn and Salonen meet these challenges unabashedly; it is the most well-controlled yet lyrical recording of this sadly underplayed masterpiece I know. Schoenberg's musical language--so difficult for so ... Read More
