Hilary Hahn, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra - Sibelius, Schönberg: Violin Concertos

Hilary Hahn's acclaimed 2008 classical music album, released by the Deutsche Grammophon label, features her interpretations of Arnold Schoenberg's and Jean Sibelius's violin concertos alongside the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen. This technically demanding and profound recording received outstanding reviews and was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (with Orchestra) in 2009. The album successfully pairs two vastly different early 20th-century masterpieces: Schoenberg's complex, twelve-tone concerto and Sibelius's emotionally charged, late-Romantic Violin Concerto in D minor.
