This album features exceptional works by two of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century: The Violin Concerto No.1 by American minimalist composer Philip Glass and Igor Stravinsky's neoclassical Violin Concerto in D.

This is the first release of Glass's Violin Concerto No. 1 on Sony Classical. Glass's Violin Concerto was his very first large-scale orchestral work. Premiered in New York City in 1987, the piece has been rarely recorded. The young Swiss violinist David Nebel (*1996) recorded Stravinsky’s Violin Concerto with the Baltic Sea Philharmonic, and Glass’s Violin Concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra - both conducted by Kristjan Järvi.
