Violin Concerto

Album by Edward Elgar & Itzhak Perlman & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Daniel Barenboim

Violin Concerto in B minor, Op. 61 is a violin concerto by English composer Edward Elgar, completed in 1910. Rooted in the late-Romantic idiom, the work features an expansive orchestral palette and a lyrical, often introspective solo violin part that demands both technical virtuosity and expressive breadth, and it occupies a central place among Elgar's large-scale orchestral compositions as a statement of his mature compositional voice.
