DG is making a big deal about the fact that given-up-for-too-modern composer Arnold Schoenberg has topped the Billboard classical chart for the first time. Seems Hilary Hahn’s April 8th release of the violin concerto with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra on Deutsche Grammophon debuted this week at No. 1 on the Billboard classical traditional chart. Note to DG: It might have something to do with the CD's pairing. Along with Schoenberg comes the Sibelius concerto. The news still does not have Schoenberg smiling.
