The debut album by violinist sisters Hina & Fiona showcases two rising stars of the classical music world. Born in New York, these gifted sisters have already achieved remarkable milestones individually: Hina recently won first prize at the 2023 Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition, while Fiona debuted with the New York Philharmonic at 16, and respectively embarked on illustrious solo careers. Together, their playing reveals a profound connection shaped by lifelong collaboration, honest artistic dialogue, and complementary interpretations. Accompanied by the distinguished pianist Rohan De Silva, they present a thoughtfully curated program that balances beloved classics with lesser-known treasures including works originally scored for two violins such as Pablo de Sarasate’s Navarra, Miklós Rózsa’s Sonata for 2 Violins, Johan Halvorsen’s Passacaglia for 2 Violins, Anna Clyne’s October Rose, and Moritz Moszkowski’s Suite for 2 Violins and Piano. Fiona and Rohan De Silva take the spotlight in Ysaÿe’s Poème élégiaque while Hina gets her solo turn with De Silva in Ravel’s Tzigane. The program concludes with the violinists’ own arrangement of Ponce’s Estrellita.
