Flying Solo: Augustin Hadelich

"A brilliant violinist." -- New York Times

A child prodigy, Hadelich was educated at Italy's Instituto Mascagni and was poised for a major international career. However, his rapid rise was interrupted by a horrific accident in which he was burned over most of his body. After repeated operations and months of rehab, Hadelich has made an artistic comeback of astonishing proportions. His remarkable strength of character, determination, joy of life, and passion for music meld in a soulful, witty personality who also possesses a rare talent--and all of these qualities shine brightly on his solo debut recording.
