Allegro moderato

'It is the central work of the master's violin oeuvre and one of the most often performed concertos in the violin repertoire' (Ernst Tanzberger). Audiences are grateful for the fact that this large late Romantic work always remains transparent. The leading, autocratic virtuoso role is maintained throughout by the solo violin, while the orchestra - of fairly modest proportions for the age provides the necessary musical backdrop. Editor's Choice (Gramophone) and Highest rating 10/10 (ClassicsToday).
