Hilary Hahn's "Brahms & Stravinsky: Violin Concertos" is a captivating journey through two masterpieces of the classical repertoire. Released on January 1, 2001, under the Sony Classical label, this album showcases Hahn's extraordinary virtuosity and musicality.

Hahn's interpretations are both insightful and engaging, making this album a standout in her discography and a testament to her artistry.
