April 16th, 2008, 3:39 pm · Post a Comment · posted by TIMOTHY MANGAN, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

NEW YORK, NY - Hilary Hahn’s April 8th release of the violin concertos of Jean Sibelius and Arnold Schoenberg with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra on Deutsche Grammophon debuted this week at #1 on the Billboard Classical Traditional Chart. This marks the first time a disc featuring the music of the 20th century composer Arnold Schoenberg has topped the classical chart.

“There is nothing I long for more intensely than to be taken for a better sort of Tchaikovsky. People should know my tunes and whistle them.” — Arnold Schoenberg
