Spanning a generous 2 hours and 16 minutes, the album features 13 tracks that showcase the timeless compositions of Johannes Brahms, Jean Sibelius, and Arvo Pärt.
Tasmin Little, a renowned violinist, brings her exceptional skill and passion to the forefront with her interpretations of Brahms' Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77, and Sibelius' Violin Concerto in D Minor, Op. 47.
