Violin Concertos

Album by Jean Sibelius & Carl Nielsen & Cho-Liang Lin & Esa‐Pekka Salonen

The Violin Concerto is a concerto by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, completed in 1904 and revised in 1905. The work combines soaring lyrical lines and demanding virtuosity for the soloist with a brooding orchestral colour and Nordic-inflected harmonies, representing a pivotal contribution to Sibelius's output and to the early 20th-century violin repertoire.
