Concerto in D major for Violin and Orchestra

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured with shimmering precision by Joseph Szigeti and conductor Thomas Beecham, this early recording of the composer's first violin concerto is considered a definitive historical document. The performance deftly navigates the work's sudden shifts from acerbic, biting modernism into soaring, dreamlike lyricism. It cemented the concerto's permanent place within the twentieth-century virtuosic canon.
