Inspired by countless rides through the Yellowstone backcountry, Jett Hitt's Yellowstone for Violin and Orchestra is destined to become a classic. It could have only been written by someone who lives Yellowstone, and Jett Hitt has ridden horseback through more than 1,200 miles of Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres. In the words of the Yellowstone Park historian, Dr. Lee Whittlesey, "It is Yellowstone." It was recorded in 2002 by Frantisek Novotny (violin), Kirk Trevor (conductor) and the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra. It is dedicated to the German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter.
