I can’t believe my eyes!

Hillary Hahn--yes, that Hillary Hahn, the violinist--has recorded the Schoenberg Violin Concerto. Nobody else with her amount of star power has ever recorded the Schoenberg. How did she get this past the marketing pea-brains at Deutsche Grammophon? I dunno, but I’m looking foward to hearing the recording (scheduled for release on March 10 in the U.K.). Oh, the other piece on the disc is a little-known concerto by a guy named “Sibelius” or something like that.
